Building a Custom waterfall
Al describes the planning for a large, 3 part waterfall.
Blue stone for coping
Bluestone offers several advantages in color, shape and texture.
Renovation Challenges
Al discusses how this renovation plan came together. These are major changes to make it more useable for the client. From breaking out a wall to adding a waterfall and sun shelf. He also shallowed- up about 2 feet.
Tape Measures?
It’s not often that the pool guy uses a tape measure, more of the work being done by feel and with an organic approach. We caught him using a tape measure and thought we would share.
Why we took on this project
This project is a rare renovation. Al explains how he was willing to take on this project and work with this awesome client. (Well, all of our clients are awesome! Aren’t we lucky? No, we’re picky.)
The flow of the waterfall
Physics and Art experience drive Al’s creative spirit. Here he talks about the difference between using natural and carved-cement rocks.
Chairs on the sun shelf
Thermal Ledge / Sun Shelf: Al shares his considerations on pool furniture.
Sun shelf height
Thermal Ledge, we call them Sun Shelf. Consider the height of your ledge lounger to guide your depth. Al gives you some more information on his thinking.
Adding a Love Seat
