How Your Landscape Affects Your Pool

PoolWe are stating the obvious here but it is hot outside, Nashvillians! If you didn’t spend last week at CMA Fest or at Bonnaroo, you likely spent your free time poolside. And we don’t blame you!

For those of you who have a pool in your own backyard, there’s nothing better than taking a dip after a long, sweltering day. But did you know that your landscape and trees have a large effect on both the enjoyment and safety of your pool?

The Parke Company’s landscape team can break it down for you, but there are many aspects to trees and landscape affecting your time outside sunbathing and wading in the cool water.

Here are a few things to consider and how Parke can help:

The Impact of Landscape on Your Pool

Safety

Safety for your trees, along with safety for your pool and its occupants, is important. That’s why it’s necessary to assess the trees around your pool to ensure they’re strong and sturdy for the summer months. This prevents potential hazards like a tree falling in the pool during a summer storm. Our team of arborists can come out to complete a full tree care workup to determine if any trees are potentially dangerous or likely to fall. If your tree does need treatment, our arborists can work with you to execute the best treatment plan in order to keep you safe and your pool from becoming damaged.

Light

Sunbathing is a large part of the pool experience, right? Just be sure to wear your sunscreen! Landscape and tree services such as crown thinning are great ways to allow sunlight to penetrate the pool if you have trees nearby. Canopy raising is another tree service available through the Parke Company that not only allows light but gives higher head clearance to your backyard, which makes it easier to walk under trees without ducking.

Cleanliness

Do you ever get to your pool and notice leaves have fallen in the water overnight? If your pool is surrounded by trees, our crew can trim your trees to keep them from falling in and around the area. This keeps your backyard looking clean and nice all summer long.

Maintenance

If you have a great pool in your backyard, don’t spend your time outside maintaining your landscape. That’s what we’re here for. A professional landscape service will not only free up your time, but it will also make your property look great for your house guests and family all season. Our team of landscape experts know how to mow lawns without getting clippings in the pool. In addition, we can recommend the best plants, shrubs and flowers to install in the surrounding area. Some plants will react differently to being planted beside a swimming pool, and our landscape crew will guide you to the ones that can thrive there.
