    New Pool/Spa Build in Northern Virginia

    Fiberglass - blue vs white?

    This looks great! While I love the look of white travertine, I am realistic with our pool budget and think a classic concrete looks nice, I feel like none of the pool builders here want to do it bc I guess they make much more on the high end materials that everyone gets. I'm a function kinda...

    Fiberglass - blue vs white?

    Hi Mona! Thanks for sharing. I am *well* versed in RiverPools and have watched all of their videos etc!

    All done :-)

    This is gorgeous! I love the idea to have the back end of the pool out of the ground with that water fall area to help with the slope!!!. How do they keep all that in there, is it just the concrete wall holding it back or is there some type of retaining wall/feature? It looks amazing!

    Fiberglass - The build in New Jersey

    Wow, love your big flat green yard!!! Will be following closely. The back fill is supposed to be #57 I think, is that what yours is? Make sure they fill with stone and water together so it's balanced and nothing bows.
