Tree Roots

[Watermom]

I have trees around my pool and I mean RIGHT around my pool. In fact, I can almost reach out while I am in the pool and pull leaves off. However, except for the few weeks at the beginning where they drop a lot of stuff in the pool, my trees haven't caused any problems so far. I have a crabapple tree and a pretty big red maple - which is the one that is right beside the pool. I need the trees for shade because I get full sun and it makes my house so hot. The trees provide some shade and help keep the house cooler. After about noon, however, the sun moves into a position that my pool is not shaded by them and gets full sun. At some point, my trees may be a problem and if so I'll deal with it then, but so far - 6 seasons - no problems. (I have an AG - vinyl liner.) Don't know if this helps you or not, but just sharing my situation.
