You need the help of a designer, not a www
recently, I had installed an above ground 12 foot diameter pool. the grass has been killed off around the surrounding area, and I have only had time to put a few potted tropical plants in places.
I wont be doing any major work now with summer almost over, but I want to design over the winter something nice to do for next year. A running deck even to the top of the pool isnt an option. but what about one that is 1 foot off the ground? so that it could be walked on, have pool toys sit there and that way my kids and i dont have to walk in the mud around it?
should it be wood or some other material? wood seems like high maintenance. I guess I could just build a landscaping bed but it might get ruined with too muich water when it splashes out and it drains when i clean it once a month.
thank you for any suggestions.:)
one thing you might consider is a cool deck this is a deck that no matter how hot it gets this deck will not burn your feet.they do work i have been on them bare footed. and you can have any color you want owner of pool company for eleven years.
My partner and i have decided to get a inground concrete pool measuring approx 9m x 4m.
We cannot decide on a shape. i have looked at hundreds of photos and books and it just ends up making my head hurt!!
i know no matter what we put in - we will make it look fantastic.
What im asking is.........does any one have any ideas on pool shapes and designs and landscaping that can help us out?
ALSO.....
People keep on telling me of things that went wrong with their pool - and things to look out for. i would love to hear any story...the good the bad and the ugly!! and any tips and tricks that can help us out.
we have the space in our yard to make a fantastic liveable area for our future and i jjust want it to go perfect as it is gonna cost us up to $50grand to complete the hole project.
Any help woould be GREAT!

soil is sandy.

i wish we had that to spend.
but we have bought the house 4 months ago sooo dnt really have the cash.
we have 30g cash, and are putting 20 onto the mortgage.
i own a pool company and one good tip is get a de filter for it.the pool company will know what this is.also have them put a sight glass on it.then shop around for a good pool company to service it.they should come by once a week to clean and chemical the pool.do the last thing now.check the pool companies out with your better business association one other thing have a pool sweep put in this helps keep the bottom clean.if you need more info you can contact me at jldailey2000@yahoo.com

Although it may take careful planning, once you get your pool area designed the way you want it, you’ll never have to leave your home for an exotic vacation anytime you want.
Planning
The ideal pool landscape design will flow with the architecture of your home and the rest of your landscape. When you first start collecting ideas for what you want your pool-side landscape to look like, take note of the patterns of straight lines and curves in your house and any nearby garden structures. Continuity of color and texture also helps. Keep in mind the colors of the house and its surroundings. It usually looks better and makes designing easier if you choose one color scheme and stick to it, rather than dabbing a little color here and a little there and ending up with a something that looks like an Art Deco experiment gone wrong. Don’t wait until the pool is already installed to consult a landscaper—talking with a landscape architect early in the process, before you’ve installed any permanent structures or planted any expensive trees or shrubs, can save you from costly mistakes.
