New Pool Build Pearland, TX (Houston area)

Excellent! Thank you. No BBQ/Kitchen. We have a small concrete patio that we are covering and adding maybe 2' to it. Will post a site plan and some before photos. On hold now waiting on PB4 design.

Yes, much better, but PB2 is very slow to respond and won't send a itemized quote until we finalize their design. I like the built in bench and fire pit idea, but due to budget we are going to go portable with it. Also the area behind the garage is for the dogs and I can just see them sailing over (hopefully not running into) built ins if they are in their path.

Two things I want you to check on and research please:
-salt system..............please do research on this to make sure it is big enough for your pool (This is a weak area for me so I do not know)
-test kit-ask him which one he is providing and let us know. It might not be the one we recommend and you might be able to have him up grade it.

Will do, thank you.

Here is the survey of our propery. The blue crossed off area is area we will be adding a covered patio. No room or budget for a built in BBQ/Kitchen.
Here is the area to be covered. They will be able to remove all three breezeway posts and just have one near the corner of the house about 3' out.
Here is the backyard. The front of the planter box is the beginning of our 8' back easement. The bottom end of the play structure triangle brace near the fence is about where our side easement starts.
- - - Updated - - -
We still need to decide on shape, we may adjust the curves and sun shelf size and bench placement. Accent rocks will be removed. Finish and colors are just for design and not what we have chosen. Deck will be changed to get it out of the easements. The easements will allow the dogs to run around the pool as well as behind the garage. The edge of the house is where our side easement begins. We will add some landscape near the waterfall and along the fence to screen it from the street better.

Nice set up! Good for the dogs to have a place to run! I like that the shape is going to be worked to best fit the house/yard/area. You never really know until you go to set it up what will look the best.

Love the design! The mountain sunset scenes were my favorite part of the render--they made me laugh!
Our dogs love to run circles around the yard, so we are glad they could still do that. They said we can always change the layout once they draw it on the ground.

Nice design! So when did we get mountains??
Thank you. I know! I wish they were real.
- - - Updated - - -
Thank you. Totally. Maybe I should also ask for snow capped ones and a sunset beach for future renderings.
Spouse would like deep end to be 7' or 8' for diving and room in the pool to swim laps. I would like a larger sun shelf ( it will have 3 bubblers) and more shallow area for the kids to play. Totally open to ideas on adjusting the shape. Any recommendations for best places for benches? We will put one under the waterfall jumping rock. Kids think they may want one all along one side to be able to walk from the shallow to deep end (not sure about this).
The bench like the kids want will be well used several other pool owners have found out. They become hang outs and places to launch attacks on swimmers! LOL

Love the design! And those mountains!
When thinking about the kids, remember they won't stay little and (if you don't plan to move) it will eventually be just you and hubby. Grandkids will probably come but they also will not stay little.

The one thing I wish I'd added was another bench. We have one 10 foot bench and a baja shelf, but I wish we'd put one more on the far side of the pool.
Good point and sounds fun. I kind of like the idea too, but want to make sure kids clear it if they jump in from the side of the pool.
True, but I kinda like hanging out in the shallow end myself.
We will probably keep the one on the left side in the small curve, put one under the rock waterfall, and maybe do the bench all along one side on the spa side? People can hang in the colder pool and sit and chat with the ones in the spa.
Equipment location?
How loud is pool equipment? Here is what may be in the proposal:
- Hayward TriStar 2-Speed Pump, 2.0 HP Full Rate Item # SP32202EE
- Hayward 525 Sq.Ft Swim Clear Cartridge Item # C5030
- Hayward ProLogic 8 Relays, 4 Valves, 2 Heater, Solar Item # PL-PS-8
- Hayward wireless AquaPod 2.0 Item # AQL2-POD2 (not sure if this is the right one listed)
- Not sure yet which SWG sanitizer with the T-15 cell: AquaRite, AquaRite900, or AquaRitePro?
- Hayward Universal H-Series Natural Gas 400,000 BTU Low NOx Item # H400FDN
- Hayward TigerShark QC Robotic Cleaner with Quick Clean Option Item #RC9990CUB
We would like it out of sight along the side of the house, but that is where our master bedroom is and the windows. Will it be too loud when we need to run it during the night? Our A/C is also along this side, but toward the front of the house where it backs on the wall of our bedroom closet and we can't really hear it much from our bedroom. I was thinking right closer to that pad and further away from our bedroom, but that is where our bathroom window is and also where the irrigation sprinkler valves are located. Not sure how much it would be to relocate them.
Other choice is behind the garage. Negatives are that the gas line run will be long and cost more, it will take away from the dog area, and we may need to fence it in somehow so the dogs don't mess with it. We have a young one that still likes to chew.

We have the same pump but it's not close to the house. The pump will be loud on high and almost silent on low. The loud isn't a bad loud, and I like white noise like that while sleeping though ours is plenty far away. Maybe if it was closer I wouldn't run a regular fan in my room! Also, you should almost never have to run the pump at night outside of startup or a SLAM.
Looks good! Are you getting other designs you're looking at or is this what you've narrowed it down to?
I like a lot of benches. We have one on each side going down the length on both sides of our designs leaving a swim lane in the middle.
How would it look if you moved the sunshelf closer to the spa? It would open up more swim space maybe?
[emoji23][emoji23]That's what I was thinking.

Nice design! So when did we get mountains??

Thank you, that is good to know.
We are tweaking this design. Yes, definitely going to think about moving the spa closer to the sunshelf to open some deck space for volleyball net placement when kids grown up. Maybe bumping out the shallow a little to create that swim lane. Yes maybe along the spa sidee a bench that goes from shallow to deep.
