Landscaping around pool ideas

13 years ago

Hi,

I have a small above ground pool (16ft)and am looking for some low cost ideas for "landscaping"

I had the pool up at my other house and used rocks and a border but it seems like there were a lot of spiders.

We have since moved and its time to put up the pool again and there are just as many this year as there were last year. I also found a black widow out front ewww. Any suggestions on either how to keep the spiders away or a way to landscape not using rocks. Thanks!
