An elevated patio is a great idea.
Building a retaining wall for a pool.
This should include at a minimum the height length and location of the wall the types of materials needed and the required tools.
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.
The walls are built using hollow concrete blocks which will be filled with concrete per the design discussed in a previous post.
Including a cascade fountain or two on the wall is also a nice touch.
These walls are built upon the footings that were poured just before we broke for winter.
A pool retaining wall is a small wall that surrounds part of a pool.
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 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.
The next step is to build the retaining walls that will enclose the pool on three sides.
Basic steps for building a retaining wall come up with a design plan.
