I need to take a picture but in the meantime, I have a question....is pea gravel decking supposed to already be cracking? We have 4 separate places where there are at least 12-18 inch hairline cracks in the pea gravel. Can this possibly be normal on a not even 4 month old pool?! I haven't...

Thanks! Wet Edge-north shore carribean

Here's ours, being filled: I'm really happy with the tile choice I made. It was an upgrade, but not a huge amount more than our allowance anyway. Here's a pic once it was all filled:

Yes, we were instructed to water ours once a day for 7 days unless it rained.

Oops...went off and had a baby....got behind on posting pics of progress! Waterfall & decking now done. Waiting on Wet Edge!

Lookin' good! I think I initially picked out that very same interior pool tile, but switched it out right before the build began. Looks really nice!

Love your pool & outdoor space! I most especially love the pics of your cute dog swimming! - - - Updated - - - Dave, who was your PB? Also, did you price out travertine? Our PB quoted me an extra 4k for natural stone decking...which we just can't justify spending right now. So we're sticking...

More progress pics added to last post of page 1....tile & coping mostly done.

Yes, it's exciting how fast it's moving! My husband isn't nearly as excited about writing all the big checks associated w/it! I'm just soooooo ready to swim!!! Today the moss rock waterfall & interior pool tile are supposed to start !

I'm in the Clear Lake area. And luckily, the gas company moved it on their dime...I guess since it was a main, not just a line to my specific house. Good luck with your build! Hope it's painless & smooth!

So, here is today's progress: Woke up to this: Then around noon, they pulled down the covering to reveal this: And it looks like all of our equipment arrived: Added photos of yesterday's progress (4/12)

Your pool looks fantastic! It's just about the same look we are going for with our pool! It really makes your yard!

No, Ron Stewart

I guess the proper term is exposed aggregate pea gravel. There's nothing messy about it, as it's all compacted in there and not loose on top.

Love your entire backyards sanctuary!

Well ours was a full 2 feet outside the easement and evidently they'd known about it since 2005. Perhaps the previous owners declined having it corrected if they didn't want their yard torn up. At any rate, through a lot of ranting & constant harping on my account (squeaky-wheel and all), they...

Well, we debated back & forth and are ultimately going to go with pea gravel for decking. We'll still have pavers under the patio awning (~8 feet to columns). We didn't want to do brick pavers for the decking because our pool builder warned they would get super hot....and the pool area takes a...

I would expect at LEAST 15 years out of mine! At least that's what the PB promises since we got a pebble finish on the inside of the pool.

Here it was the morning.... Starting re-bar. Then this afternoon, with rebar complete:

Looks great! Y'all are about a week or so ahead of us! Our PB is moving quickly as well. Who are you using?

Thanks y'all! Gunite starts on Thursday, hopefully!

So, after an excruciating 1 month delay because of a gas line (main) out of easement, we are finally officially underway with our build! The dig started (and will I think be completed) today! Here was the original drawing: We have made the sun bench smaller, based in feedback I read here...

It looks so great! I'm sure you are eager to get it filled up & ready to go! So let me ask you this...did you deal directly w/Brad throughout the actual building process or someone else? Also, can you tell me a little more about what washed aggregate is that you are using for your decking? I'm...

My PB came out to draw out the pool on the ground only to find that the gas line appears to be 2 FEET into our property, no where near inside the easement! Arg! We even had the gas company come back out & re-measure/label it, and it's grossly into our property! So now they are sending out a...

Thanks y'all! You've given me a few good topics to discuss w/my PB.

Just trying to get a ball park before calling my PB, but really considering (yet another) upgrade as I do not want slippery decking!

We were (are) planning on stamped concrete for our decking and I'm now 2nd guessing it (our dig starts later this week). After reading so many places online, I'm just really afraid it's going to be slippery, and I really don't want that. I'll have a baby and 7 yr old with me out there, plus lots...

We are using Primera & Satin matrix by Wet Edge for our pool, but the prism matrix is sure gorgeous! I'm sure you'll love it!

We went with Aquasport Pools. Ron has been in business 38 years so we trust that he will do a good job! He's a bit old-school (doesn't do the computer generated renderings or even email for that matter), but the people I know who have had pools built by him have been extremely happy!

Thanks all! I plan to take progress pictures along the way to share here!!!
