Making it look nice
Notes:
- Installing a backyard swimming pool is a huge investment – so make it worth its value.
- We are speaking of the landscape that surrounds the pool.
- You could use wood decking – cement flooring – tile brick – or something that is very durable such as hardscapes.
- Using hardscapes can combine patio and swimming pool together into one overall look.
- Nice way to use up the backyard It looks like the entire backyard has been used up as a family entertainment spot – complete with swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, patio dining/convesation area, and bordered gardening beds – all connected with hardscape landscaping.

Are you looking for durability or looks?
Notes:
- How about both – durability flooring that looks great.
- Durability means that you can splash water – move furniture – take in the summer heat – bear the winter cold – age over the years – and it will continue to look like new after many years of use.
- And it looks great with all kinds of styles to select from.
- Border hardscapes And when you need to hold up a hill or garden, hardscapes are the answer for strength and looks. Adds to your garden and swimming pool landscape.

For flooring and border walls
Notes:
- There are all kinds of handscapes that work great for pool surrounds and much more.
- You can use hardscapes to create seating around a fire pit or other entertainment.
- Use hardscapes to form border walls to support landscaping and foilage/flower beds.
- When it gets hot a roaring fire can get hot – so you simply sit back on the second level to avoid the fire heat. The leveled seating area is for looks – but it is also nice for those summer months when the fire is too hot.

A final look for convincing
Notes:
- Has this image sold you on the use of hardscapes for your pool landscaping?
- You have to have something that landscapes the pool – an investment into hardscapes increases the value of your pool installation.
- How to keep it clean? Simple – just use a leaf blower to sweep dirt, leaves, and other debris from the stone. You might also need to use a stone sealer to keep mold and mildrew at bay – especially in damp climates. Use a power wash annually to give the stone a deep cleaning.
