Control leaf drop
Beautiful plants can become frustrating if they constantly shed into the pool.
Perfect plants for around your pool need more than good looks.
Pool planting has to handle reflected heat, splash, privacy, leaf drop, roots, narrow beds, maintenance, and the view from inside the home.

Planting should support the pool, not create new problems.
The wrong pool plants can drop mess, lift paving, block access, or outgrow the space. ReScape considers pool use, bed width, sun, privacy, and maintenance before selecting plants.
What to plan before you build
Think about roots
Plants near pools and paving should be selected for mature growth, not nursery size.
Layer privacy
Screening, mid-level foliage, and lower texture create privacy without a corridor effect.
Plan irrigation
Pool planting needs enough soil, water, and access to stay healthy through heat.
A practical ReScape pathway
The goal is a clearer design, a more realistic scope, and fewer surprises when trades arrive.
Brief
Start with how you want to live outside and the best way to reach you. Add property or project details only if they are useful at this stage.
Design direction
ReScape develops layout, planting, material, privacy, and outdoor living decisions into a clearer design direction with 3D support where useful.
Scope
The design becomes a more practical scope so trades, suppliers, staging, and quote decisions can be discussed with fewer assumptions.
Poolside planting should make the water feel more private, cooler, softer, and easier to enjoy.

Useful answers before the first meeting.
Do I need the whole project figured out first?
No. Most homeowners start with a rough brief, a difficult space, or saved images. ReScape helps turn that into a practical design direction.
Can ReScape provide 3D visuals?
Yes. 3D visualisation helps homeowners understand scale, materials, planting, pool zones, and the feeling of the finished space.
