After much soul searching (and wallet searching…), my wife and I have decided to take the plunge, so to speak.
We are planning an in-ground pool here in Birmingham, Alabama.
What I’m planning on is an approximately 18 x 36 IG gunite pool, ~22,000 gallons with spillover-spa and natural stone coping with SWG. I'm looking at using stamped concrete decking around the pool.
We’re planning on a maximum depth of 7 feet (no diving board) as well as a beach entry and tanning ledge.
Here are a few pics of the yard, both before and after a major tree removal in preparation for the pool. I've also attached an initial pool design by a local PB which we really like. We're still looking at different PBs though before we decide.
Any and all ideas and/or feedback are welcome. I’m completely new to this process but have been suitably impressed by the beautiful pools and backyards on this site and I hope ours comes out well too.
