How close to an above ground pool can a maple tree be?

It's generally recommended to plant a maple tree at least 10 to 15 feet away from an above-ground pool. This distance helps prevent roots from invading the pool area, reduces debris falling into the pool, and minimizes potential shade issues. Additionally, keeping the tree at a safe distance helps prevent damage to the pool structure as the tree grows. Always consider the specific variety of maple and its mature size when determining the exact distance.
