Holy moly, this is beautiful! I'm in MoCo and I'm curious how you got those designs from companies without paying? 2019 Pre-covid we had 3 companies come out and none of them would even put anything in paper until we paid them a 1g "design fee", all quotes were just verbal " meh your looking...

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...

Hi Mona! Thanks for sharing. I am *well* versed in RiverPools and have watched all of their videos etc! I hope one day they venture back up to the Rockville area for installs, right now it's out of there service area. Let us know what they say regarding payment schedule. I've been in this forum...

Mona, who are you using for your FG pool? I'm not too far away and always looking for references!!! So little FG pool installers it seems in our area.

Casey, this is so pretty! What is your coping and surrounding made of?

Okay, once you decide what to do, please post pictures! Would love to see the finished results because all this tech talk is a little much without pictures for this gal!

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!

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.

Alright, progress!!!

Looks amazing!!!

I love love love that tile!!!! So pretty!!!

Is that a drive rock? Looks amazing!

I love the brick coping! Post pics of the antique brick from the spout wall and/or your house!!!! @Kathleen2252 , are those little color marks on your brick just age related or related to SWG or just artifact/dirt? I love the look. Maybe that wear and tear would add to the antique look anyway?

Whoa, this guy sounds like a piece of work, that sounds too high and it sounds like he's trying to milk you for that 20gs. Post pics!!!!

I don't see why not, I've been to beach entry public pools that just seem to be seamless with the gunite.

I've read a little about over digging, I think they just have to fill it with the correct stuff that won't sink and then tamp it down serially every so often, but that's about all I got. What did the builder say/offer as the solution? What are they backfilling your pool with? There has been...

Whoohooo! That's awesome your neighbors will let you use their driveway. Did you have offer them unlimited swims?

Nice!! Can't wait!!! Who are you using again?

Looks incredible!!! Keep it coming!!!

Hey Robert! I'm also in MoCo, had Browning pools, Live well landscape and Land and Water Design come out. Browning and Livewell wanted a fee to design and final quote, Land and Water Design wanted a percentage of the final product (they said they do a lot of variations and since they spend so...

You guys are lucky you can even GET a design and in writing quote!!! In the DC metro area, they will come out and give a general verbal quote but for the DESIGN and the in writing quote, you have to PAY! I had three builders come out, they were anywhere from $1000 to 5 percent of the overall...

Looks amazing!!!

Keep us posted!!! It's good to know who stands behind their products and services and who doesn't!!!

Oh wow, I don't think I've seen this precast concrete coping before....I really like the look!!! That's not the cantilevered kind is it? Yours looks flat and it's very pretty. I was thinking of ways to cut cost of travertine, etc.with coping and just do concrete and I like what you have!!!

Is pea gravel considered 3/4" ? Seems maybe smaller?

I will be following this closely in Maryland too!!! Is raised bond beam cheaper than retaining wall? One PB hold us that a retaining wall can add on up to 50k !!!! We have a small slope but I can't help to think he was taking advantage.

Yessss!!!! Can't wait to see it opened and ready!!!!

Love the limestone coping in white, gorgeous!!!! I've never known of limestone coping, anything special with it maintenance wise? I love the look but we are 4-5 years down the road from a build So still learning all the options!!!

Whoa! Is that FG or gunite or does it even matter? Can iron do that to any pool?

Omigosh, it looks incredible!!!! Everything, from the main event ( pool) to the deck to the house!!! Nice work. Are you available for hire, lol. I'm guessing your pool housr is a conditioned space being in Arkansas, yes? It's gorgeous!!! I also love that pool color so much!!! Very natural and...
