Looks great so far! Love your tile choices!

Who is your PB? We are hoping to build this spring..and looking at a few in the area.

Re: New Pool Build in Tampa, Fl

Thanks!

The pool builder is Natural Springs Pools in Lutz. We went through the whole design/quote process with several of the companies in Tampa and decided on them due to design, cost, and equipment. The other companies we looked at were Riviera, Gulfstream, and Landmark. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Wow looks great I just started researching for our first pool and you gave me alot to think about.

Re: New Pool Build in Tampa, Fl

Thanks Guys.

Coping has been getting installed for 2 days now. This morning we had the opportunity to review the stones and swap out a few due to color variation. The waterline tile should start today, if the weather holds up, and I am really curious on how it will come out since there are a lot of curves.
