Harbourside Garden — When considering privacy in the garden, avoid relying on one single species and install groups of plants that add depth and dimension instead. The pool area to the rear of the garden makes for easy living and entertainment. Designed and built by our team it features handmade Moroccan glazed tiles which were individually sanded for a smooth finish to the interior of this pool. The oversized soft grey limestone coping was chosen to complement the turquoise waters.⁠

The landscaping around the pool is key to the overall look and effect you want to create for your outdoor space. If the plantings are well-chosen and planned, they will show the best of the pool.The wrong choices can damage the whole scene. Find the maximum height and width of the canopy of a potential tree near the pool so you don't end up with something standing or occupying the pool and patio area.
