New pool build in Houston, TX

[appelbe]

I spent a lot of time reading and learning here on TFP before jumping in and starting our pool project.
Construction started two weeks ago. We are hoping to be swimming before it gets too warm

Looks great! I love the wall, and the tile patterns. Where in Houston are you? I am in NE Houston -- we are hoping our dig starts around April 13th -- if HOA stuff hurries up!!

Lots of pools in the houston area...yours looks great!

Love the tile!

Nice looking pool!

Thank you! We are in NW Houston (Spring). HOA approval only took a few days. Paver deck should be done this week.
Given how long we spent before we decided to go ahead, it's impressive how quickly the project is going forward.

Patio cover and travertine deck are done. Trim tile is installed. Waiting for Pebble Sheen.

Looks great. Are you going to do anything with the black iron fence, increase it's height or add privacy hedges?

 

[pooldv]

That is a great looking pool! Hurry up pebble people!

We are required to keep the fence as it is. We're planning to do some landscaping right behind the raised wall.

The glass tile is Arctic Lagoon (AT083) from National Pool Tile.

Love, love, love the tile - how and where you used it! The pool and deck are so elegant. I love the design. Is that an infinity edge spa? Did you say what color Pebble Sheen you're using? I can't wait to see it! (bet you can't either....). Keep the updates coming, and take care! Suz.

Beautiful looking pool! Love the deck and the glass tile. Suprised you didn't put some kind of water feature on your back wall. Good luck with the rest of the build.

Thank you! It was tough to come up with a nice design because of the 14ft easement at the back of the lot.

Our designer listened to our ideas and took them to the next level. We've been very impressed with our PB so far.
The water in the spa and in the pool will be at the same level. The three columns on the back wall will have sheer descents.

MMG installed the Pebble Sheen (Blue Granite) yesterday. Cleanup, acid wash and water today!

Super! You got the Sheen! And water today! Already have the suits and nose clips on??

Wow, a 14 ft easement. That would be tough. But ya'll made it work beautifully! From the gunite photo, you've got pipes coming out everywhere. To me, that means water movement all over the place - I love that! Serene when you want it and rumbling when you want action.

Do you have landscape plans? Who is your PB? Enjoy the day and take care! Suz.

Love that Blue Granite. This is going to be yet another great build.

Can't wait to see it finished. I love that tile, and it's on my list of contenders.

We have (very green) water in the pool now:
