A beautiful and inviting pool area is the perfect place to get some sun. In addition to its health benefits, swimming provides a relaxing retreat for friends and family when the weather outside is warm.

But pools aren’t just for recreation—although it’s among the top 5 recreational activities in the US—they also help you cool off during those hot summer days.

And if you’re lucky enough to have a pool in your backyard, then having a well-tended landscape surrounding it will make for an even more enjoyable experience.

Whether it’s your pool’s design, its water quality, or its view—scenery matters; here’s a list of reasons why the scenery is important around your pool.

1: Scenery Makes You Feel Like You’re Not in a Pool

When you stroll through your backyard, you don’t feel like you’re “stuck” inside a pool, perhaps because your backyard looks like a backyard and not a tiny room where you’re just floating.

The surrounding scenery around the pool gives you a sense of liberation and relaxation, so when you go to your pool, you can leave all your worries and fatigue behind to chill.

2: Scenery Adds to the Positivity Around Your Pool

When you have a pool that looks like an empty, tiny room, it’s hard to feel too optimistic about spending time there.

So, if you put a nice-looking pool in the centre of a massive field of grass or even just some lush plants, it might make your pool time more enjoyable. Why? Because your scenery will trick your brain into thinking that you’re surrounded by nature.

3: Scenery Saves Money on Pools and Pool Maintenance

When you have natural scenery, it’s much easier to keep your pool clean and free of algae. It’s very common for people to go out to the backyard, grab their shovels and break up the dirt into smaller pieces before placing it back in the ground and let it refill again with dirt over time.
