    Red Oak Trees and Pools

    Thank you for your feedback! This is very helpful. We have 4 oaks that we need to plant soon. I’ll definitely be moving those further away from the immediate back yard. They’re beautiful trees but I’d rather keep the messiness near the pastures.

    Red Oak Trees and Pools

    Thank you for your feedback! Maybe I should plant the red oaks closer to the pasture and find something simple like an evergreen for shade. Or...would you suggest no trees near the pool for warmth?

    Size and Depth for a Diverse Family

    Thank you so much for the welcome and for your thoughts! We've been a mess trying to eliminate an area of the pool that wouldn't be utilized, but I can definitely see how a deeper end will be utilized later. I thought 5'10" was pretty deep...it would be deep enough for cannon balls I'm assuming?

    Hey everyone! We're purchasing a fiberglass pool with a separate tanning ledge and we're struggling with the depth. After a few years of research and our super soft soil, we've settled on fiberglass for it's easy maintenance and longevity. What we're struggling with is which one to purchase...
