An elevated patio is a great idea.
Building a retaining wall for a pool.
Including a cascade fountain or two on the wall is also a nice touch.
Sometimes a retaining wall is used to add more room for the pool by cutting into a small hillside or to allow for perimeter space all the way around the pool.
Building the wall right on the edge of the pool itself is another option.
On average pool owners who need a retaining wall will spend 7 000 20 000 on it.
This should include at a minimum the height length and location of the wall the types of materials needed and the required tools.
When reviewing retaining wall designs for swimming pools consider plans where the wall is more than just a wall.
On the other hand if you decide to adjust the patio and fill dirt on a slight slope instead of building a whole wall that costs 1 000 4 000.
Some home owners incorporate a retaining wall into a water feature such as wall spouts or rock waterfalls but that s a topic for another day.
A pool retaining wall is a small wall that surrounds part of a pool.
Basic steps for building a retaining wall come up with a design plan.
The walls are built using hollow concrete blocks which will be filled with concrete per the design discussed in a previous post.
