Thanks Karl.....that is what I thought, it just sort of suprised me that they had leafed out that much....we just had an ice storm on Wednesday. I also saw that my iceberg tree rose was blooming! I guess I will force myself to wait.

Thanks for the info.

I believe every riverbend sandler pool in dfw is made that way regardless of yard space. I asked the pool builder and he gave me a reason but unfortunately it's all Greek to me. It did worry me, but they build so many pools for so many years, you'd think there would be a big outcry or it wouldnt pass inspection if it was bad. If you search for riverbend on the forum you can find a ton of pics of their pools built this way. Not saying it's right or wrong, it's just how they do it. I'm trusting them.....hope I don't regret it in 10 years.
