Why Pool Screening Plants Are So Popular
Pool screening plants do far more than provide privacy. They soften hard landscaping, reduce the visual impact of fencing, create shade, improve outdoor living spaces and give your backyard the relaxed atmosphere of a luxury tropical resort.
The Sunshine Coast climate is ideal for many tropical screening plants, allowing homeowners to create lush green walls that remain attractive throughout the year.
Our Most Popular Pool Screening Plants
Heliconias
Heliconias are among Queensland's favourite tropical screening plants. Their broad leaves quickly create dense privacy while their colourful flowers add a spectacular tropical display throughout much of the year.
Browse our Heliconia collection.
Golden Cane Palms
Golden Cane Palms are one of Australia's most popular poolside screening plants. Their multiple trunks produce a soft tropical appearance without creating an overwhelming canopy, making them perfect for swimming pool surrounds.
Alexander Palms
Alexander Palms provide height and elegance while creating a true Queensland resort feel. They're excellent for larger gardens requiring vertical screening without taking up excessive garden space.
Calathea lutea (Cigar Plant)
With enormous paddle-shaped leaves, Calathea lutea creates instant tropical impact. It works exceptionally well behind pools where large foliage provides privacy and creates a stunning green backdrop.
Alpinia (Shell Ginger)
Shell Ginger combines lush foliage with attractive flowers, making it ideal for tropical borders, pool gardens and informal screening.
Lilly Pillys
Lilly Pillys are a popular choice for fast-growing privacy screens on the Sunshine Coast. With dense evergreen foliage, attractive new growth, and excellent tolerance to local conditions, can quickly form a lush, low-maintenance hedge for pool areas.
Create a Resort-Style Pool Area
Many Sunshine Coast homeowners are looking to recreate the feel of a luxury tropical resort. Layering palms, heliconias, gingers and lush foliage plants creates depth, texture and year-round greenery while naturally screening neighbouring properties.
Using a combination of tall canopy plants, medium-height screening plants and lower tropical foliage creates a landscape that looks professionally designed while remaining practical and easy to maintain.
Fast Growing Privacy Around Your Pool
If privacy is your priority, selecting fast-growing species can significantly reduce the time it takes to establish a dense green screen.
Several of our tropical varieties establish rapidly when planted in quality soil, mulched well and watered consistently during their first growing season.
Our team can recommend the fastest growing options based on your available space, desired mature height and maintenance preferences.
How to Choose the Best Pool Screening Plants
Before selecting your plants, consider:
- How much privacy you require
- The mature height of the plants
- The width of your garden bed
- Sunlight throughout the day
- Maintenance requirements
- Leaf drop near the pool
- Root systems
- Overall landscape design
Choosing plants that suit your space will ensure your pool area remains attractive and easy to maintain for many years.
