Cooling off in the pool is a great way to spend a lazy summer day. If you do not want to spend the whole weekend cleaning the pool, make sure to plan your landscaping to have as little mess as possible while the cover is off. Here is a list of some great trees to put by your pool that will not cause cleaning time to take over your relaxing time.

 

1) Palm Trees

 

2) Live Oak Trees

 

3) Banana Trees

 

4) Juniper

 

5) Holly 

 

6) Japanese Maples
