Frequently asked questions.
What is the best low-maintenance landscaping around a pool in Florida?
For Tampa Bay, we lean on palms, clean-shedding tropicals, and privacy hedges that thrive in Gulf Coast heat and humidity — planted in mulch or stone beds so upkeep stays minimal. Pair that with artificial turf where real grass struggles and smart irrigation that works within local watering restrictions, and the poolscape stays lush year-round with a fraction of the maintenance a traditional lawn demands.
Is artificial turf around a pool a good idea in Florida?
It's one of the most popular requests we get. Premium turf stays green through a Tampa summer, drains quickly after afternoon storms, and never sends grass clippings or mud into the water — which means less skimming and cleaner filters. It's soft underfoot, pet- and kid-friendly, and pairs cleanly with travertine or paver decking. Explore our turf lineup to compare styles and pile heights.
How much does pool landscaping cost in Tampa Bay?
It depends entirely on scope — a turf-and-planting refresh is a very different project from a full poolscape with raised beds, boulders, and irrigation. Rather than quote a blind range, we design your landscaping as part of a free 3D design and give you a transparent, itemized quote, so you see exactly what each planting, turf area, and hardscape accent costs before you commit.
What plants should I avoid planting near a pool?
Anything that sheds heavily or drops fruit — oaks, crape myrtles, queen palm seed pods — keeps your skimmer working overtime, and aggressive roots like ficus can threaten decks and plumbing. Tampa's year-round growing season makes fast, messy growers even messier. We design with clean-shedding palms, tropicals in planters and raised beds, and stone or mulch beds that keep debris out of the water.
Do you install landscaping with a new pool or remodel?
Yes — and it's the best time to do it. Because LIV designs the pool, deck, turf, and plantings as one plan, your landscaping appears in the free 3D design before ground breaks, and it's installed on one schedule instead of a separate contractor working around a finished pool. We also add landscaping to existing pools across Pinellas and Hillsborough.
