Central Florida Pool Landscape advice
Comments (7)2x triple stalk Xmas Palms 8'(NE corner) - These are not going take the cold. There are several Veitchii that will and the look similar to Adonidia 2x triple stalk Date Palms 8'(NW corner) - Bad choice due to maintenance. Around a pool deck, stay with self-cleaning palms that don't have spines. 1x Spindle Palm (N, center backyard) - I would use more of these, replace the Date Palms with them. 2x Orange Bird of Paradise (N side of yard on both sides of spindle palm) - Not cold tolerant. 1x Bird of Paradise (E side of yard, by it self) - There are those who love this plant, personally, I think once they start to reach around 10' they get ugly. Regardless, I doubt this one will take a cold snap and as a standalone piece, it will eventually stand out like s sore thumb. Consider a flowering tree if the space is far enough from the pool. 1x Bottle Palm (W side of yard) - Very slow growing and not as cold tolerant as its brother the Spindle. 4x Xanadu (filler) - The worst of these are in gas stations, the best in Century Village. There are a lot more plants to choose from that will look good for a much longer period of time. 2x Red Hawaiian Ti (filler color) - These look good in a mass, two is not a mass. I would doubt Ti plants can take much cold. 2x yellow green color Ti's - ditto You do tropical in zone 9, you just need the right plants. Take a drive around your neighborhood to a radius of at least 5 miles, and see what grows there. Keep in mind that water restrictions are here to stay; don't put stuff in the ground that you're going to have to flood to keep alive....See MorePool Builder recomendations needed for Central Florida

Comments (9)You have a great location. We are going to build in Viera and have a similar view. We decided against the vanishing edge because we need a screen and thought it would be a waste. Our neighbor put in a pool and had to screen it later because he couldn't use it because of the bugs. I am super sensitive to mosquitos. What do you do to keep the bugs out? I can't believe you don't have them....See MoreCentral New Jersey New Pool build
Comments (58)Sorry Frank, just seeing your question now. This is our 5th summer and still no issues or fading of liner. JC, best of luck with your build! You made the right decision in choosing SW as your builder. You basically just get to sit back and watch the magic. The self cleaning system is a must and you will never regret that expense... Can't wait to see the finished product......See Morechulaman
