Hey everyone.
Pool is in,back filled and getting ready for concrete.
I'm trying to stay somewhat on budget and looking for some input on where I can cut to shave off a few bucks. I know it's best to put as much stamped concrete now, but need to shave somewhere.
Quick sketch with dimensions penciled in attached. I'm cutting 1 foot around the entire perimeter off the bat. The far side (where there is 3' shown- top of photo) is towards the equipment pad and far end of the house that will not get used often at all. The 10' section next to the 3' was for a future slide. I'm cutting that down to 3' and figured I can put pavers there in the future if we decide on a slide. Opinions on that idea?
Also cutting out the pathway (bottom right) going to another paved section of my house from the 9' and 11' width section to a standard 3' wide walkway. Neighbor has a 3 foot wide walkway and seemed like enough when we were there over the weekend. Thoughts on this walkway /path size from folks here who may have regrets going too narrow?
Thanks everyone for any input.
