I need help. Please the photo of the pool in courtyard next to patio. Patio is raised. Pool is raised too. The height of pool is same as height of patio. Is that how it should have been or pool should have been flushed to the ground so its' a step down from patio. The pool builder never asked us and he built it this way. He says if pool is flushed to the ground and Patio is higher, it's a hazard as someone can trip and fall into pool as pool is close to patio.
Now the whole backyard needs to be raised. Landscaper says need to fill the space around the pool and between pool and patio, so that every thing is at the same level.
We plan to have artificial turf around the pool. However in the back once artificial turf ends, last 5 feet will be flower beds and small trees and now they will be stop down as rest of the back yard will be raised. Even the space behind the master bedroom on the left of the picture and kitchen on the right of the picture will be a step down.
Will it look weird?
If every thing is at same level and if it rains heavily, will pool water go into the house through patio.
Now we have spend more to raise the backyard.
Can not dig up whole pool otherwise that will cost lot of time and money.
Pool builder says this is how it should have been built and thats why he built it this way without asking us or letting us know.
I hope I am able to explain this correctly. Any suggestions or input?
