Trees can offer so much to a backyard poolside, from dappled shade to increased privacy and shelter. Their beautiful aesthetic and the soothing rustle of their leaves can also create a more relaxing and naturalistic backdrop for swimming or sunbathing. However, certain varieties can be problematic.
