Added tons of Plants, still working on landscaping, retaining wall, grass, eating are, etc behind camera. Doing it all ourselves. That's why pavers are still so dusty! Still a muddy yard! We have trees of every fruit you can think of already. We have not put in the top soil around the pool or the low lying plants & ground covers either! It sure takes more time and money than we thought but its fun enjoying as we go along!

We are considering using 3M Colorquartz for the bottom of our pool. Does anyone have pictures or comments??? Thanks!

What an awesome idea to have everyone post pictures! Rhanks for thinking. I 'm still confused on Pebble tec colors. Going with a beach entrance (Sandy Beach) and either Carribean blue or Tahoe Blue. I have Sierra boulders and my tile has beige and grey through it. Decking is natural stamped cement. Would love to see more pix. of Carribean and Tahoe blue especially with beach entrances!!!

Dark grey plaster, native stones for the interior seating areas and waterfall, diving rock, mix of stamped concrete and native stonework on decking.

Unfortunately, no black marble pebble tec finishes, but still this is a great resource, thanks!

mine is very simple 18x38 with only sundecking surround. I kept it simple to work with the age of my home,1928. It is gunite with blue tile 8ft deepend and swimout. Thought i would post cause when we were looking for pool ideas very few people had simple pools with little to no patio. I wanted grass right up to the edge with less than a few inches of coping at the time My DH said no way.. mowing issues, so we have 2ft surround now.

WOW!!! This was a great idea. I now know the answer to 2/3 of my questions. Thanks!!!!

Hi-- just looked through all of these pictures and not one Slate blue pebblesheen..does anyone have slate Blue PS that they would post for me? Going back and forth between that one and Blue Granite..thanks!

Here's my Dallas pool:

Here's our pool, finally!

This is a picture of the pool we built last spring. I haven't been able to post due to computer issues. We really enjoyed it all last summer but it seems the summer passed very quickly. Just waiting for the water to warm up now. Can't wait !!!!!!!

I'm new here. Just starting the process of having an inground pool installed. Vinyl liners are the norm up here in Ontario, and I'd really like to go with a dark grey liner, but would love to see some pics, if anyone has any to share?
thanks!

Stefv1, what color pebble tec did you use?

Sid,
I used Jet Black Mini Pebble wet edge brand. They were supposed to put some pearl shells in the mix but it got missed in the order. They were already putting down the plaster when I realized it. That's the only thing I would change. It just creates a little more shimmer to the water. Otherwise it is wonderful.

Before & After in Oklahoma

I like everyone's pics here in one place to see. lots of ideas thanks!

I am loving this thread. I am trying my hardest to find pools with Aqua White and Aqua Cool from Stonescapes Mini Pebble. Does anyone have any pictures of those colors? I am installing the "in your face shark" mosaic and I want a color that will make the shark stand out and will also NOT have a green tint. Any pics or suggestions?

these are amazing. lately I'm obsessed with pools so I love seeing everyone's pics.

Angnjam,

We just had our pool remodeled. We have Med Gray Plaster. And installed the In Your Face Shark. It is amazing, it really shows up well with even that plaster. We just love it. I think it will look wonderful with the plaster color that you getting.

Great thread! I'm looking for pool pictures of Diamond Brite Steel Blue or Ocean Blue? Thanks!

I LOVE this thread! Please post more pics!

Mine is getting filled as we speak and the area will
continue to be a work in progress with an Ivory travertine patio floor down the
road. This is a modest existing pool remodel. We took out the silly spa with
its four puny jets, odd size, and no light and made it into a conversation
niche. In the before design you couldn’t heat up the spa without heating up the
entire pool. Surface- Wet Edge New Zealand Tropical- peal matrix but with the
deeper blue/green dye used in the Chilean Tahoe.

The last picture with spa and orange coping is the Before .

Pool/Kitchen area completed July 2013; Arbor completed Oct 2014

So many beautiful pools! I love looking at everyones designs. Here is ours, a lot of people tried talking me out of the beach, but now into our 4th season with it, it is by far my favorite part of the pool. These are a bit older, and the landscaping has matured a lot since then, but it gives the idea.

Love everyone's pics, so many different styles! Here's ours: 35' x 14' rectangle, pebble fina grigio,
