My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Its about 36", If you are going to use wood as the facade I would reccomend doing a cement retaining wall first and then add the wood to the concrete

    perfect, thanks for the advice. Do you know if tennis balls end up in the pool often? I'm considering putting an automated pool cover to prevent that from happening as my pool will be sitting parallel to the tennis court.
