Hi
New to this site and have several questions.
We are considering putting an inground pool in our yard - we live in southeastern MA. We have a pool builder - someone who several of our neighbors used and is well known in our area and are looking at a 18x36 rectangle.
So our questions:
*how does one go about figuring out where to put the pool in their yard? Would people who do decks give that kind of advice?
*About how much do the the various decking options cost? I googled but not sure how reliable those cost estimates are. We are thinking about stamped concrete but will that get too hot in our area or is it mainly a concern more in the southern states? Based on our current rough plan - we would have 4 ft of walk space on one side, 8 ft on the back (where a diving board would be), 15 on another side and 10 on the other. Is that enough? So based on that we are estimating about 1600 sq feet of concrete.
Our budget is about $60K so while we want it to look nice, we cant afford all high end stuff.
Our pool builder basically said it could go anywhere - we have an open, flat backyard - not huge but big enough where we could have the pool on one side and still some yard to the other.
Sorry for the questions!
Thanks!
Cecilia
