Your first major consideration will be what to plant around the pool.

As much fun as a swimming pool is, it does hold danger and safety features are a major consideration. A proper enclosure or fence and good lighting are the most important of these. The good news is that these safety features can add to the beauty of your pool.

Instead of a plain gray chainlink fence, why not build a basketweave fence and train a climbing vine like Virginia creeper on it? Instead of harsh, clunky halogen lights, look into modern fiber optic pool lighting which lets you line the pool and pool steps in a more elegant way.
