What to know before you build your swimming pool - So, you want to build a swimming pool? Custom pool designer, Mike Farley gives you details to think about when you are in the planning stages of wanting to get a pool for your yard. Mike has a background in Landscape Architecture and has been designing swimming pools for 30 years in California and Texas. In this video Mike goes into types of pools, but mainly talks about Gunite inground pools. Thinking about using space, activities, exercising, creating a setting, entertaining, and looking nice are all discussed. Also, where to put the pool, surveys and easements, codes, access and how the shape can affect the price of building a pool. Part 2 will go into soil conditions and things to think of while dealing with a pool designer or building contractor on your project.
