A new gardening question of the day appears every day of the year on the front page of Almanac.com. Below is the answer to one of the questions from our Gardening Questions and Answers Archive where you can find over 400 more gardening questions (with answers!).
We're considering installing an in-ground swimming pool, but we want our trees and landscaping to remain intact. Are plantings near pools at risk?
The chemicals used in pools can kill or harm plants if the pool water comes in contact with their roots. To prevent this, make sure the filter is always working properly and no pool water is ever dumped or splashed near plants and trees. Chlorine will ultimately cause foliage to turn brown.
