Pool remodel has commenced!

[sd122]

Nothing major but just want to document my remodel if anyone is interested in the pebble finish I have chosen. We had new pavers and coping installed a couple years ago and now it is time to complete everything else. We have been going back and forth between black pearl and gray reef pearl. I think we have decided on the gray reef pearl. Since I couldn't find any pictures of CLI sunstone's gray reef pearl, I thought I'd be the first to share.

We also have chosen to cut the spa overflow back to the platform and have chosen an untraditional charcoal/black pebble tile for the spa wall and waterline. Going for a Balinese lagoonish look.

Anyway, on to the pics...

Before, draining process 8/7/17:

Cant wait to see what it looks like! The pavers and coping look great btw. We considered the gray/black finishes seriously but ended up going dark blue. I do really like the way the gray/black looks my wife just wasn't 100% sold on it.

Thank you. Saw your build thread and your pool looks amazing! Good color choices.

I like dark colored pools, can't wait to see how it turns out. Do you happen to know what brand and color your pavers are? I need to do a paver walkway and those look like they would go perfectly with my travertine deck. Love all your green landscaping!

Thanks ... they are Gem pavers. Old Miami in taupe/tan/sandstone

Nighttime completely drained... starting to demolish today!

Day 1: Definitely off to a good start! Didn't think they would have all this done in one day. Then again, I have no idea. Lol!

What are those shrubs growing on your fence?

 

[sd122]

I think you may be referring to the bamboo in the back. I also have podocarpus on the sides.

 

[Redelephants]

How old are your podocarpuses?

 

[sd122]

2yrs. They were 3 gal.

OH MY! I want to see a close up of the waterline! That looks so neat!

I think it might be time to update your siggy LOL you are way past what you have listed!

Thank you. Here is a close up of the water line. Pictures don't really pick up the tones though. Much nicer in person.

 

[kimkats]

That is so neat! Are they placed one at a time or are they on a "mat"? What color of grout will you be using with it?

Kim

 

[sd122]

Yeah, pool builder recommended it. After I saw his work, I liked his style so we went for it. Definitely different. It is on a mat. Following the builders choice on grout. Plaster is dark gray so I imagine grout will be too. He was all about having the waterline blend in with the plaster. Loving it so far!
