Project Detail:

- Three-tiered pool built in Texas Hill Country.

- Recipient of the 2007 Masters of Design award from Pool & Spa Magazine.

This intriguing pool design was created to incorporate Mediterranean style, a therapuetic spa, and safety for children. Decorative concrete was the decking material of choice. Here's a summary of the project:

  • Decorative concrete was used to recreate a Mediterranean style inspired by the Alhambra, a 13th century Moorish palace in Spain.

  • The entire pool is surrounded by 2,000 square feet of earth-toned decorative concrete pool decks.

  • Scofield's Arizona Tan dry-shake color hardener was used to complement the stone coping.

  • A rock-salt finish produced a natural appearance and improved slip-resistance.

  • Decorative concrete, produced from local materials, provided a highly durable surface, and saved time and money for the client.

  • Installing decorative concrete pool decks allowed the design-build firm to meet the clients' tight construction deadline, and leave some money in the budget for attractive planters and outdoor furniture.
