The Finished (Sort of) Project At The Pool

Typical of this blog, owing to my usual tendency to take multitudinous pictures ‘in progress’, I am having some trouble finding the final pictures taken of this pool project. I often take pictures for legal and educational reasons, the truth is.  I like proving the work was done appropriately.  It has less to do with suspicious motives or anything else, although in the event of contestations, the record is right there.  I just feel the clients feel better served knowing some of the history put into what they see. It also serves me extremely well in this blog because people can get a much better sense of what actually goes into a landscaping project.  When I tell clients to “Expect Beirut”, lol, I need a reason.  I do indeed mention that landscaping is just about 80% preparation and 20% finishing.  That’s the God’s truth, the fact is.

The picture above has to do for now.  It being wet illustrates the overall look when we finally put a bright sealer on top of the pavers, giving it a permanent “wet look”.

A little more perspective along the side:

When I find (grrrrrrr) the others, I will update this.  It looked fabulous, planted and sealed. I guess you’ll have to take my word for it.  There was a party opening it officially to the neighborhood, friends and family which was a challenge to survive.  I made it and slept over that night, lol.

    Heh, heh,
    Maybe that’s why you can’t find those photos, Steve.

  2. lol, Donna. That might be funny if it weren’t so true.

    I changed computers, the thing is………..never let a landscaper change computers. I must have 5K photos on the other one. Too many to save. I’ll plug it back in soon enough, I guess.

  3. Thanks Stuart. From the looks of things, it might be a bit. I confess I get lost in my own machines………..and this is #2!

    There’ll be a different dish served here tomorrow.

  4. Hey thanks! It was a fun one also. Some residential projects are neater than others, as you obviously know. This one was out in the woods real well…….nice and private. I mean, we still had to watch our language and all………….but nice anyway.
