Planting palm trees around the pool adds a beautiful tropical touch to our backyard's landscape, and as those of us who chose to live in the Coachella Valley, we are lucky to design our backyards this way. But beware, palm trees have hidden hazards.
We have over 20 years of experience in pool construction, repair, and maintenance. We've seen a lot of really cool pools. We've seen a lot of pools with trees growing around the spa & pool also.
Unfortunately, not all trees were planted to make it a sustainable environment. Many of these trees have caused a headache or tens of thousands of dollars in damage.
How can palm trees create pool issues?
Palm trees generally have roots that will turn into drinking straws and suck the water out of your pool.
It means you are refilling your pool all the time; the autofill runs non-stop!
That causes high water bills, and it's not environmentally friendly.
Secondly, the roots of palm trees can actually become structures. They can shift the concrete and crack the pool's structure, besides just the water. We want you to be happy and see you more often, but planting palm trees next to your pool is not the way to do it.
How to solve palm tree issues?
If you want to keep that cool the tropical vibe of your backyard, move to Hawaii. No, no, we are just joking. The solution is to plant the trees at least 15ft away from the pool.
This will help you avoid major issues. Moreover, it gives you flexibility in managing your backyard's landscape. Choose the type of palm trees carefully, talk to a landscape architect, make your decisions slowly or consult the team of experts at Claropool. We love to speak, and we love to talk about all kinds of things, including palm trees :)
