Pool - Could you please tell me how long and wide this pool is? Also which end is the deep end of pool? Thank you! »
· Comment · 5 weeks ago
Liquidscapes The pool at its furthest points is 20' wide and 40' deep. The deep end is closest to you in this image on the radius. The shallow end and stairs stair by the spa and pool deck and then you have two side entry and exit stairways.

The image is slightly distorted due to a wide angle lens to capture the entire space.

Liquidscapes Inside dimensions are 12' x 12', not including the roof overhang, I believe. I do not have the drawing currently, I'm on vacation! The design was driven by the architectural lines of this home, so I am not sure if it relates completely to your application. Send me an image of what you are trying to create at your home. Thank you.

Pool finish? - What type of finish (plaster,etc) and color did you use to achieve your water color? Thanks! »
· Comment · 7 months ago
Liquidscapes It is a plaster finish in a mid range gray tone. Remember, the light of the day, depth of the water and pool chemistry play a role in the color as well. So don't get hug up on the various ranges/tones of the plaster color. Example, the shades of gray, from light to dark, aren't that different in dictating the color (because of the other factors I mentioned above). Go look at pools already built, so you can see and determine the color you desire.

Liquidscapes You are very welcome. We can do a design for you, that's no problem, we have worked for clients all over. A pool also might be a possibility, because it is a very controllable and presis component in what we do. Beyond that, I would suggest creating a team around the rest of your project locally.

I'm working for a friend in Michigan soon after the summer ends.

oh thats areally good point about travertine.The lightness makes it reflect heat? - I agree, i spent all day trying to find a decent stamp project that didnt look like a driveway in a Florida housing project. what about flagstone?It gets really hot as i remember from my youth in colorado. The thing is , I have a rusty roof,a barnwood grey siding, and i thought i would go with something with a little oxide to tie in with the roof and contrast the grey.Its in a rural area, Twisp WA. so I cant go too fancy. Origionally I was builing a french country house but it has taken on a little western feel. I'm afraid square pavers would be too estate like though i love travertine . Hence the limestone that can have dark oxides in it but it s really expensive to ship. what about just a colored cement like an acid wash. half the deck is uncovered so if it got wet it cant be too smooth. »

Liquidscapes Travertine doesn't get hot like granite or bluestone, because it doesn't have any metals in it. That is what wicks the heat from the sun. Maybe a sandstone/flagstone, like "Tennessee Crab Orchard" is a good way to go. It comes in brown and gray tones (marbleized), also irregular shapes, but I would wet-set it on a slab and probably seal it (due to freeze thaw).

its me again with another question - I am doing a big deck then eventually a pool.the deck is 22x40 with some steps.I was hoping to do limestone irregular. Im in eastern wash but want that french country look.I loove travertine just did a huge shower in it.It was cheap. does it come irregular.My contractor was suggesting a stamp in cement to save cost.is there some way to do this and have it look like limestone or travertine.Is travertine worthy of freezing exterior weathering? »

Liquidscapes True Travertine is more expensive typically that bluestone,clay brick or concrete pavers. Make sure you are actually getting true Travertine and not something like Jerusalem Limestone for example (which is a softer stone). Also, you can't use the same thickness outside as you would use and pay for inside. Typically, the material you would use inside in 1/2" or less in thickness, outside that would crack/break if something fell on it, if you used it as a tread for example, a person over 200 pounds may break the edge off. Also, may fracture from freeze thaw.

The Travertine we used on this project was around 14,000 PSI (pounds per square inch), very dense/heavy stone and 4" thick on a dry base for the pool deck. All the Travertine comes in square pieces and to make it irregular would be a very expensive and time intensive process, along with a great deal of waste and potential of not breaking the way you want.

It is tolerant to freeze thaw with greater thicknesses, but we have found that when you use this stone in thinner and smaller pieces it can break from crystallization. The stone wicks the salts from base stones and or concrete underneath and the crystals are sometimes denser that the stone itself (and can fracture).

I'm not a big fan of stamped concrete, looks commercial to me and I am a bit of a purists. I just like natural materials over man made protects, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider it. The main reason we went with Travertine here is that it doesn't get hot (we had no shade from the sun).

I hope this helps!

what type of pavers are these »
· Comment · 13 months ago
Liquidscapes It is not a paver, but Turkish "Gold" Travertine, which we used for the pool and spa coping, pool deck, stepping stones, etc. throughout this wonderful project. We chose this stone because it doesn't get hot and it complimented the look, style and tones of the home. The Travertine on this project was 4" thick is some places (primarily pool deck and stepping stones) on a dry base.

I have added another image of the 4'x 4' stepping stones.

Thank you!

Throw a curve. A large radius end on this pool and circular spa echoes the curved roofline of the house.
