Getting a new fiberglass pool

[mbar]

Gerri, I love all the landscaping around your pool, it is so beautiful! So is the pool! What do you have arond the pool, it is really great looking.

KeithW, Is your pool out of the ground in some parts? You did a great job with the hardscape, and the color around the pool is beautiful, what kind of material is it?

I love to see the fiberglass pools, and I notice that everyone's water is so clean and clear!!

Thanks Marie I have at the very back Angel Trumpets which get big and smell heavenly in the evenings and lambs ear edging. I have some roses in there but the tall tropical looking plants are cannas. I have several different leaf and bloom colors of those but in the very back as a foil I use the tallest burgundy leaf one called "Giant Russian Red". The cannas are tubers, very tough plants that multiply and the Angel Trumpets are easy to start from cuttings. If you would like to start any of these by your pool either now or in the Spring please let me know and I will pack a box up for you. I love sharing my plants.

Marie,

My pools sits about 1ft above ground level. I wanted it to be level with my exisiting deck which I extended out to the pool on that side. On the other side I built a brick wall around the pool, filled it with sand/dirt, poured cement pads on top, then carved cobblestone shapes in to the cement. The coloring is Acrylic cement stain. I used the same stain on the waterfall. All my equipment is stashed in the waterfall.

I love it! What a great idea to put the equipment behind the waterfall. That is what is great about this forum, the great ideas that we can all learn.

Wow... I love all of your pools. If mine looks half as good I'll be happy. I just keep getting the brush off from my pb. He still hasn't started (2 weeks after contracted start date). Now we're just looking forward to next year.
