Master Formation Pool and Spas – Layout and Excavation
All of our pool layouts are actually laid out on the ground by the designer himself. Sometimes companies pay the excavator to layout your pool, but we feel the best way to avoid any miscommunication or mistakes is for the designer and one of the owners of Master Pools and Spas to lay out your pool design.
Our designers start by measuring out and marking the anchor points with stakes and nails. Once these points are plotted, we pull our radii and straight lines from these points. Once the pool is plotted in your back yard, we put a colored ribbon around the stakes so you get a better view of what your pool will look like. Now you have an outline that will survive as the basis for your design. If you have a second story to your home, we ask you to go to your second-story window and get a better view of how your pool will look. We find that with the colored ribbon, even at ground level, your pool will stand out well enough for you to see how your pool will look in your back yard. At this time, once you see your pool in your yard, it will be easy to adjust the design to your satisfaction within the allowed perimeter footage. Yes, you still have time to adjust things, (but it is much harder to change anything once the dig begins).
One simple thing that you don't want to overlook during your Houston swimming pool construction is the route of access for the excavators. They need access for a backhoe or a bobcat to enter your pool site. If you are a really lucky person, you have an RV gate providing ready access to the backyard with a short clear path straight to the pool site. They will travel back and forth along that path, hauling all of that dirt out, and there'll be more than you think! Finally, if you are luckier in love than in cards, then you don't have an RV gate at all, and we will have to take a portion of the gate down for access.
