I ask this question because our backyard doesn't have any pool in it,it's only full of grass.I wanna put it mostly for the kids,to have fun.
I was just wondering could it be possible to make it into a regular pool along with landscape designs thx.
How much could that cost ?
How much could that possibly cost in total?
you can get an easy set pool for about $200.
Pools amp; Spas with Landscaped Environments..........www.deck andpatio.com Why are some pools and spas gorgeous and some seem so lacking in ...
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.
well next month or this month since its going to be summer i wanted to get a backyard pool instead of driving to a public pool that cramped because everyone is hot! so anyways what do they do when they build it can i tell them how big i want it and how much time does it take to build the whole pool including the hot tub on the side? if anyone has any experience please share your story with me i like these kinds of pools with designs on them and im probably going to get one im going to show them this picture and see if they'll build it:

with the little water fall i just love those things! and yes i do have the money and the space
we looked at a lot of photos and came up with our own design and hired all the contractors ourselves, submitted the plans and pulled permits through the city. and our pool ended up being amazing. do your homework - these guys over price a lot. i you'd like I don['t know what state your in, but if you're in california i'll give you a step by step instruction manual for how to do it yourself.
I was looking at books and Barnes and Noble and there were a few pictures I liked but that was the only thing I liked in the whole book. So I was hoping you guys could help me out by either scanning the pictures from your books and emailing them to me or by giving me link to a website where they are.
The books are:
Sunset Pool and Spa: Page 150 gray and white house
Sunset Big Book of Garden Design: Page 106 - 107 A Family Garden
Pool Scaping: Page 171 Spa with waterfall
Page 137 Water slide
I tried that first and my library is very out of date with very little available on this topic, but thank you for the suggestion.
How about trying the library first...
EDIT: You can also see if they can get the book from another library, they can check who has it and get it for you. FYI
Don't need the thumbs down people, just trying to help. :)
Looking for a a designer for redoing our pool and patio area who doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Can anyone recommend someone with references?
Since you are a Yahoo user, why not try the Yahoo Yellow Pages:

Get references and check them out by driving by and talking with the homeowners if possible. Make sure your contractor has liability insurance. Actual consumers rate the services of contractors at this website, check to see if your city is included:
