Does Anyone Have A Negative Edge Pool?

amykath
10 years ago

Hi, I am new to this forum. We are getting ready to build a new house in the Texas Hill Country. It is just Southwest of Austin, TX. Our lot has a pretty steep slope and we thought a negative edge would be stunning with our lake view backdrop.

So, I was curious if anyone has built one, where you live and if you have any suggestions. Also, any recommendations on pool builders would be appreciated.

Here is the photo of our lot. Excuse the part with me in it. ;)

Thanks in advance!
Amy

    I recommend calling Lew Akin for a negative edge in your area. I am a builder in the Atlanta market and I have taken a few of his classes over the past couple of years. He is on the forefront of edge design.

    I would contact Greg Smith that owns The Swimming Man. Highly qualified and trained to install your pool.

    Hope this helps.
