Landscape Design Pools & Spas Design Dilemma

Pool Layout/Design Ideas

5 years ago

Hoping for some input, advice and any ideas here. We built in 2017 and are installing an in ground pool (ourselves) this Spring. The back of our house is south-west facing so lots of sun. We're in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Don't mind my crude drawing. Our steps out the back will be opened back up during construction. Vinyl Pool is lagoon shaped - 18 x 36' Thanks in advance!

What specific questions do you have? Have you started saving images of stamped concrete patios/pools such as yours so all your design decisions are made before you break ground? Do those overhead wires go over the pool?

Stamped concrete will get hot and certainly slippery. You'll have to add silica or some type of granules in the sealer for traction and reapply periodically.
