    New Pool Build - Naples, Florida

    Hhuang: I like your planter idea. We have something similar for our pool. It gives some architectural interest that provides some height differential to the design. It is very classy. It also provides a spot for some landscape lighting near the pool that can be controlled remotely and...

    Csmith: Some other SWG experienced pool owners may want to jump in to help you with your decisions. A SWG pool is not like the salty ocean. Not in the least. It does not hurt the grass, shrubs, and we have not had any problems with it harming windows or the window frames, pool equipment...

    Plaster, tile, coping recommendations for DFW area?

    I can. Watch your PM. We just had it done. If you go direct with them instead of through a PB, (who will contract it out), you can save some money by going direct.
