—So we started digging this Tue. The PB will start the retaining walls first due to limited spacing for maneuverability. Orig plan was 15’ away along the property line for retaining wall+10’ pool decking+20’ pool+ 8’ decking. Now my PB is saying because the property line is not straight, he had to swing the shallow end of the pool 5’ away from the property line to make the pool ALIGN w the house. My house is not set straight on the property. Now we have a triangular space between the property line and the retaining wall. My husband and I do not like the triangular void, but PB insist it looks better if the pool is straight in the alignment w the house vs parallel to the stone wall/ property line.
—-What’s the conventional practice? Ithink the real reason was if go by my husbands original design, we need 4’ retaining walls then need engineer or double walls. But the original quote was for double retaining walls.
—-as you can see in the long pink line is the new pool border, the higher metal stake was the original design of 25’ from the property line.
