Trees aren’t just good for offering fruits and saving the environment, they’re a great addition to any landscape. Of the many places you can plant a tree in your environment, the pool area is one place trees offer multiple benefits. The trees will also add some aesthetics to the scenery and improve the air around the area.
Generally, it is advised that you keep your pool at least 15 feet from any tree trunk. But if there’s even more space, you should aim to keep your pool outside the perimeter of the tree’s drip line.
