Hello!
We are just getting started on adding a pool to our yard. We got quotes from last year, but wanted to wait it out and see how the sun moved throughout the year... much better than a $50,000+ mistake!
As for plans, we have a 2,800 square-foot backyard (roughly 70' wide by 40' deep) and want to maximize both our pool size and still keep a substantial amount of grass. We have about ~1,200 square feet more yard than most neighbors. In consulting the companies they have used, the designs we have received have been underwhelming. For example, one company's plan is 7' deck around the entire pool... it's essentially the exact same pool they've done in the neighborhood over and over just more deck. We're lucky enough to have a yard that we can have a both pool and grass and aren't looking for a 400 SqFt pool with massive amounts of deck placed dead-smack in the middle of our yard. Please tell me their is a happy medium.

Presumably, the kids will copy that too, lol, but we can always take turns.
