Location: Southern California
So here's the situation:
- We are finishing up a full backyard remodel. Hardscape / Landscape / Pool Remodel / House painting
- We have finished the hardscaping, pool tiling / coping, etc.
What's left?
Pool Re-Plastering
Landscaping & Irrigation
House Painting
Our contractor says that the proper order should be: House Painting -> Landscaping -> Pool Replaster.
This avoids new plants getting trampled by painters, and prevents any dirt from getting into newly plastered pool causing discoloring.
Problem:
The house painter we had lined up won't be able to start till the beginning of July. Given two weeks of work, puts us in the middle of July heat in southern CA to plant landscaping and replaster which sounds like a horrible idea. We also won't have the pool available to us for the majority of the summer.
My idea is to have them re-plaster the pool now since the weather isn't too warm yet, have the house painted in the summer, and then just have them come back in the Fall to do the landscaping.
Does this sound reasonable? I'm figuring they can cover the pool with tarps or similar to protect the new plaster when they do landscaping? This would allow us to plaster and plant in better weather and also have the pool this summer for use.
I'm worried about the pool plaster getting damaged by the landscaping, which isn't too extensive but still something to worry about.
Thoughts?
Thank You.
