re: Putting in a pool near pine trees

I have a pool surrounded by huge pines. I'm not responsible for the pool maintenance so take it with a grain of salt, but the pine needles aren't a huge issue. Pool guys come once per week and maintain the pool, if it looks bad in between maintenance I'll just skim for 10 minutes and make it look a little better. If you're willing to do about a half hour of maintenance per week then it will never be too much to handle. My pool isn't covered at any point either.

I've got branches within 5 or 10 feet of parts of my pool
