Hi pool aficionados,
A landscaper/PB came by today to discuss our project, curvy inground pool, and he threw us for a big loop: He thinks we should excavate the grassed area where the pool and new patios will go down 2 feet to match the grade of the adjoining patio, and build low retaining walls around the gardens. The existing slate patio and brick retaining wall would be removed, and replaced with pavers. The crepe myrtles would be ringed with with low walls, like raised planters. Its intriguing, but it will double the cost of the pool and patios. The wall was re-pointed a few years ago, and the patio is in pretty good condition, just dirty!
Would it be too awkward to keep the elevations as they are?? This proposal will double the project costs...
