New Pool Build-Orangevale, CA
My husband and I have been working on a pool design for almost 2 years now and we are finally pulling the trigger and starting our dream backyard. My home is on 1.50 acres and nothing has been done to the backyard other than some concrete work around the house when we first moved in. We are going with a large pool so that when it's finished it does not look like a pond in my backyard.
Any advise or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

9 years agoStill have to install the heat pump (wrong one was ordered), replace one LED light (wrong one was installed), finish buttoning up the plumbing, and balance the chemicals. Almost there! Can't wait to see the sheer descents pouring out of the walls and the colored LED lights turned on. Should be swimming by next weekend. We must have good water here, because the pool did not turn green to start like many others I've read about online.

9 years agoThis is the best picture that represents the color of the pool as it is right now with no chemicals added yet. (Just finished filling)
