What does your pool paradise look like?

Also, the longer they take, the more we add ... waiting on quotes for a front yard overhaul now. I mean, if they're going to be here making a huge mess anyway, we might as well get it all over with at once, yes?

We had our front and back property landscaped 10 years ago along with a driveway repour of concrete and it took most of the summer, so it was tricky using the pool. I can relate to adding more since they will be tearing everything up anyway.

Here's a better pic of our deck:


Here's a pic of the float rack we built. It rests on the property fence, and can be taken apart for winter storage:

Updated photo with planters around ends and back of pool.
Photo overexposed because guy leaning on house cant see ipad well due to brightness outside

Beautiful color of the pool, 3dCrazed!

Thanks YippeeSkippy. I'll get some better photos tomorrow with more accurate color.
Pool finished in French Grey Pebblesheen. It really is a beautiful color. Grey in shallow becoming more blue as it gets deeper.

Here is a couple more detail pics. Glass on the steps, and in the waterfall. Also a shot of the granite we used for the waterfall.

3Dcrazed. That first overhead pic looks like something out of a magazine. Great job!

Gladius Nova, no one has ever accused me of being a good photographer! Thanks.

I have older photos that are good however the latest photos not so good. I will take more today.

I know I don’t have any pretty landscaping but this is how I wanted it. We used to take care of my in-laws pool years ago(late 90’s) and they had a ton of pretty plants and landscaping that made it a pain to keep the pool clear of debris. This is so much simpler. I love it!

More accurate color of pool. Yes the decking is that white. Its travertine called "snow white'"keystone.
The good thing about snow white is you can walk on it on 100 degree days bare foot and its just barely warm.
Coping is grey travertine. You can not walk on it on 100 degree days. Hot on feet.

^ killer pool and view! What part of the hill country is that?

Good call on the decking. Our pavers read 119.8 the other day when it was 103 out.

Here’s a before and after of our upper area, literally just completed. I’ll get a few of the lower pool area when I get home. It’s been a very long year and a half, seemed like we’d take one step forward and ten back at times, but fingers crossed, hopefully my family can start making some great memories and forget about all of the stress this build has caused.

Way late to the thread but... here she is.

OldTownMidMod That look great, love how you used a small depth backyard. Really cool, is that a lava rock fire pit?
