Thank you for your thoughtful questions and I'm always happy to help answer questions.... The artificial grass market has changed over the years and the products that are available today are wide and vast... we use to only get green looking artificial grass that looked like fake plastic grass. Today you can get different blade cuts, you can get grass that has dead blades mixed in... you can get artificial grass that looks real enough to help match up to other real grass that you might have in the yard close by... I recommend to use a good company that specializes in artificial grass and work with them.

On the tile and interior finish that we used. This was an Oceanside glass that was a 1x1 tile paper face. It's a very special tile designed for pools that you can get either at a designer store or National Pool Tile (go to my web site and scroll to the bottom of the page and it will take you to our links: www.creativenvironments.com ). The interior finish is a Midnight Sea Wet Edge Satin finish... great pebble finish, there's a link for them as well.

I love blue stone to work with on a pool coping and decking. There are two basic colors: Full Range and True Blue... If you go to my link page you will also find a link to PBM Masonry supply..... The coping material comes in 2" thick stone that is 14"-16"-18"-24" wide and 24"-36"-48" long.... I love the flamed finishes or the saw cut finishes.... Good luck... send me a picture when you are done.

You are amazing to answer in such detail (wish I had known of your company before)! Thank you so much for all the info. I will send you a finished picture!

You are very welcome.... after 63 years of building pools, I still love what I do... how lucky am I.... this is why I also love to help others along the way.... good luck with your build... feel free to email with questions if you have any along the way.... chuck.baumann@gmail.com
