Are you going to manage your own pool or hire a service? If you are doing it yourself, you should (right now) order one of the two suggested kits here on TFP and we'll help keep your pool crystal clear.

I will be having a go at it myself, thanks to the direction of this site.

Holy cow, check out that black soil! Where I live that only comes out of a bag. All of mine is brick red.

Coming along nicely. Have you decided on what kind of pavers your using for decking?

Yes, it's a light tumbled travertine, like in the render.
