Hi all. We’re just getting started on designing our new in ground pool. We received quotes for vinyl liner, fiberglass, and concrete. We have decided on concrete (I think 🤔) and I have a few questions. - White plaster is the base material, who has this and are you happy with the way it looks...

Hello all, Great to find so many pool lovers all under one roof! My husband and I are in the process of designing a pool. We have interviewed 4 PB's and are waiting on final quotes. We have a good idea of what we want, but definitely could use some help on some things! We are looking for a...

Attached are 2 options we are deciding between. Our grade slopes pretty steep towards the back corner of our property where the pool is. Originally we were planning just to grade from the pool out but now that it’s been dug and we see how high the pool is we are nervous the side yard is too...
