It's typical for storm water drains to be re-routed into the pool overflow drain, where the water goes to street, drain, low spot, neighbor's yard, or anyplace other than against house foundation or into pool.
New build in North of Dallas about to start, any help is appreciated

Updated pictures coming soon.
Anyone have a picture of a "pop-up" drain that comes up from underneath their decking? My PB contractor put in the drains with 2 openings, but just left the PVC pipe open at the end of the decking. I talked with my supervisor and he said, "there should be a pop up valve that is level with the ground where the water flows out of the pipe"
Thanks

Crazy Texas weather. We've been waiting to plaster for about 2 weeks now. We are now scheduled for the 18th of March.
Thanks for sharing your pictures. We are in Frisco also and are interviewing pool companies. May I ask which ones you interviewed and ultimately which one you chose? Thanks
Finished decking:
From behind the spa:
Any suggestions on what to do with this area behind the rocks????????????????????

We get to help you spend your money??? Oh I LOVE spending money!
The BEST weed block you can buy. Maybe even roofing felt. Put it down and hold it down with lawn stakes. Large river rocks over it VERY deep. White marble chips would be pretty also.
Some yard art like..........I will have to look what I like up at home on my laptop........

Here are a couple of my favs.
They used to have a dolphin one that I have and a manatee one as well. I could not find them.
Do you like these? What way do you want to go? Plants? yard art?

We are looking to go with whatever is easiest and the least expensive. As it is behind the rocks and anywhere from 6 - 12" or so, not much will be seen unless it goes over the rock.
Our thought was to put down a metal edging about 2' behind the rock and slowly start to landscape it. I'm not opposed to just putting down the edging, a layer of cloth and then some decomposed granite or small river rocks.
Thoughts?

Not sure what to put back there, but please don't use that metal edging. It's really dangerous even though it's very common around here. It really shouldn't ever be used by anyone, and if you have it in your yard you should remove it. It's like having knives embedded in the ground! Anyone who falls or sometimes even just steps on it is at risk for lacerations.
