We finally completed our pool after 4 long months of construction. It was a complicated design and site, but worth it. Here is a picture of the yard before:
Lots of questions answered and inspiration received from this board. Thanks!

| Gorgeous! You really achieved a natural look to blend in with the surroundings. We are also in a very wooded area and our hoping for a similar look. Hopefully we are about 2 weeks away from filling. What is your pool finish....black pearl pebble tec ? |

Thanks for the compliments! We really love the way it turned out. Our finish is black onyx quartz plaster. We wanted pebble tec..had it in our previous pool, but the PB wanted 13K additional and we just couldn't justify the cost. We are happy with the quartz even though we are nervous that it will be more succeptible to problems down the road.

| What a great look, the color is great, we've done something very similar with our new pool, thanks for sharing! |

| Beautiful! Everything blends so well with the landscape! We're about two weeks out from adding water. These pics just make me more eager! |

| How was your deck done? Is that stamped and scored concrete? |

| It looks amazing!!! Wonderful plan and execution! :) Can I ask a question about the darker pool? We live on a farm and I've seen my share of snakes...I am thinking of getting a crystal Bahama clear blue clear as ice pool because I'm so afraid the darker pool (which I prefer because it would go so GREAT with the aesthetics of our farm/woods) will not let me see potential snakes, mice or whatever might be lurking...it's hard to tell from the picture but when you stand next to it can you pretty well see clearly to the bottom?? Thanks!

| That is one of the most stunning pools I have seen on this forum. I love how it looks like a little lake or pond that dribbles down into the woods. Gorgeous!! |

Thanks again for all the nice comments.
eyoung: the deck is stamped and scored concrete with 3 colors used. It is very hot in the sun...probably should have gone lighter, but it was the look I wanted. Tara: Yes, you can see down to the bottom when standing at the side. I think if you did a visual inspection before getting in you would see any critters lurking there. So far only tree frogs in ours. We have friends who have a pool in the woods and they have found snake skins, but never a snake. Hope to never see one!

| Stunning!! I am in love with this pool! It looks so natural and blends in so well with your landscaping.. what a serene, relaxing spot you've created! |

| Your pool is one of the most 'natural' looking pools with so much appeal!!! Give us more info on your pool---how deep is it and what are the dimensions? LOVE the infinity edge!!! Right next to that beautiful waterfalls!!! So serene!!!! Awesome... |
RE: Pool finally finished-pics to share!

| jmck- Finished out great! Everything looks nice together nestled in the woods.....my favorite kind of pool! You even have landscaping already....looks very nice and love the way the stamped concrete turned out. Enjoy your new pool! |

| Everything looks just beautiful! I love the vanishing edge, looks like it just disappears into the woods! Congratulations! |
RE: Pool finally finished-pics to share!
| | |
| I agree with the others... that pool looks like it belongs there! So natural, and so very pretty! Good job! |

Judy -

so now that you have been swimming in your pool for a season---any comments about your finish or other features---
is the spa across the pool under the trees? where the little waterfall is?
do you wish it were closer to the patio? how to you walk there...
guess you have enough surrounding trees that there is shade during the day--no need for umbrella posts... what type of system--salt water? ozone?
what type of pump and how many gallongs
if you don't mind giving that info |

Hi loves2read,
We are anxiously awaiting some warmer weather to begin our swimming season this year. The pool was so great last summer. To answer your questions...
We do not have a spa...behind the pool is the basin for the infinity edge.
Despite all the trees we have enough sun that we use an umbrella in the tanning ledge and a couple more on the patio.
We have a salt system...not sure if I'm too happy with it...takes some getting used to vs. our old pool with chlorine.
We have 4! pumps on this pool (wish I had realized that before construction) one for main filter, one for vanishing edge, one for waterfall, one for bubblers in tanning ledge.
The pool is 26K gallons in all...just large enough for us.
Hope this helps!
