Why Great Perth Pool Landscaping is Crucial to the Look of Your Yard

When you think about the perfect Perth yard, what are the essentials? A nice lawn to relax on is great. You’ll definitely need to have some shade for those roasting hot sunny days. Oh, and what about a pool? Yes, a pool is right up there on the list. The thing is though, you can’t just install a pool in your garden and that’s that. Without good landscaping, your pool just won’t look right. There will be no flow throughout your outdoor space.

A pool minus some landscaping is just that – a big tub filled with water. That’s all ok if you just want to have a pool without any aesthetic value. However, if you want your garden to look beautiful, you need to incorporate your swimming area into your overall garden design in Perth. You need to consider aspects such as incorporating decking, paving, shrubs, flowers, trees, general shade and so on into your pool area. Doing this will soften the look of your pool surroundings and will create a cohesive design to be enjoyed for many years to come.

A Rock Garden Adds an Extra Dimension to Your Landscape

If you’re looking for ways to make your outdoor space ‘pop’ an eye-catching rock garden creates a vibe of added interest to your landscape. Rock gardens create an interesting focal point that will look amazing all year round so long as you use the right plants. Many people like to plant their rock gardens with perennial herbs and culinary plants, so their space is useful as well as great-looking. Alternatively, using brightly-coloured perennial plants is another popular choice.

Planning Your Rock Garden

Your imagination is the only limit when it comes to planning out your rock garden. You can make it as large or as small as you wish. If you’re not much of a gardener, starting off small is probably your best bet. Before you even begin choosing your rocks, it’s important to decide on the species of plants you wish to grow. You can either research these online or visit your local landscape nursery for more information and inspiration. You should remember to choose plants that don’t grow too high and that flourish in our WA climate.

There is So Much More To Pool Landscaping than Planting Flowers

Your pool area is arguably one of the most important outdoor areas of your living space. It gets so much use during the hot months that it’s crucial to ensure that your pool landscaping is on point. When you think about the word ‘landscaping’ your mind probably conjures up thoughts of planting bushes and flowers strategically around your yard. While this is an aspect of landscaping and aesthetics, there so much more that goes into planning your pool area.

Shade

Landscape Architecture and Design in Perth, WA

Here, at Landscape By Design, we believe in consistently working to the highest quality levels possible. We are the local experts in landscape architecture and in Perth landscape design. Although both these terms sound rather different, the truth is that they mean more or less the same thing. Of course, when we speak of ‘architecture’ it sounds very professional and important, perhaps even more so than the term ‘designer’.

In terms of legalities, some professionals have to call themselves landscape designers because of certain laws that prevent them from referring to themselves as architects because they don’t have a landscape architecture level of license. Because of these qualifications, qualified landscape architects tend to cost significantly more than landscape designers.

If you’re looking for someone to focus mostly on aspects such as structural engineering, then a landscape architect is your best bet. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a team to work more on the artistic aspects of your yard, then a landscape designer is for you. Here, at Landscape By Design we offer all these services and more. Whether you’re looking for a design-focussed end result or you’re more interested in something structural, landscapers Perth-based Landscape By Design is the team to trust!
