- Plant bignonia tangerine beauty or other flowering vines to grow up trellis panels for privacy
- Select trees that are columnar with contained root systems
- Summer flowering plants attract bees & other insects – limit their use
- Use plants with thorns (rosa rugosa or barberry) in the perimeter area only
- Deciduous plants shed their leaves – use sparingly or only in the perimeter area
- Limit lawn spaces near the pool as grass clippings often go into the water
