Mandeville lounge pool and pool house

Mandeville lounge pool and pool house

This pool was completed in early 2016.  It is a freeform shape with a tanning ledge and two teal ledge loungers.  The pool has a colored LED light, salt water.  The pool has a gray plaster and ceramic tile.  The decking is a silver travertine deck on a limestone bed.  We also built her a stucco fire pit with fire brick on the inside and it sits on a concrete pad with a drain.  We also poured the concrete for here new pool house/outdoor kitchen.  We built a 2’X2′ silver travertine walkway and the landscaper planted dwarf mondo grass between the joints, to break up the solid travertine deck look.  They also installed string lights that really added a nice element to the project.  Here are some photos:

 

 

Dive pool

Dive pool

Here is a pool we completed in 2016 on the lakefront in Mandeville across the street from the Candy Bank.  It is a lagoon/freeform style pool.  It is 8′ deep at the deepest point right in front of a Rico Rock kit we installed.  The children are able to dive off the top of the rock into the pool.  The pool also features a very large suntan ledge with 2 bubblers.  Being close to the Lake Ponchartrain we elevated the pool equipment on a wood platform.  The pool has a tahoe blue plaster and 2 large colored LED lights.  The pool deck is a unique travertine color and most is installed on a limestone bed but some was placed on top of existing concrete that was there.  We did custom 8″ travertine drainage too.  Also, we did a greenish rectangular glass tile.  We built the client’s sisters pool a few years prior in Madisonville.  You can look up her testimonial under Rachael Estopinal.  I believe this pool would be a very fun one to own!

 

Madisonville custom design pool and spa

Madisonville custom design pool and spa

Here is a custom pool we completed in March of 2015 in Madisonville.  It was designed by an architect.  It is a large but beautiful design that in tied into their huge pool house with outdoor kitchen and fireplace.  The pool deck is a french pattern noche travertine.  The pool has an organic tahoe blue plaster color and on the tanning ledge there is a light beige plaster with aqua bead crete and 2 bubblers.  The pool has two large LED colored lights and the spa has one colored LED light.  We did a custom travertine drain that is 8″ wide so that there would be no small plastic drain on this deck.  Also, we cement 2’X2′ travertine stones and theres grass between the joints.  Overhead there is now string lighting over the large area.  The hot tub has a large split face travertine and the overflow to the pool goes over the whole facial.  The spa tile is a glass tile and the pool tile is a ceramic tile.  Check out this beauty!!

Beach Entry swimming pool

Mandeville Beach entry swimming Pool

 

This beach entry swimming pool was started in December of 2015.  The day we shot gunite that evening, two days prior to Christmas it decided to rain a lot.  The pool features a zero or beach entry that has two colored LED bubblers.  There are also 2 colored Laminar water jets coming out of the deck.  Also, the pool has lots of colored LED lighting in the pool and spa.  We did a brown river rock plaster for the beach so that we could go above the water line and go onto the ivory travertine decking.  The coping was a gray or silver travertine tumbled edge.

Pool deck and plaster

The deck was an ivory french pattern deck set on a limestone bed.  The plaster color for the pool was an organic green color and we also laid two rows of glass tile on the beach and suntan ledge to separate the aqua green plaster from smearing the brown beach plaster.  In the spa we did a dark organic Tahoe blue plaster with a clear and teal bead crete plaster so that the plaster was a bit more pleasing than regular plaster.

Spa

The spa is an infinity spa what we put an ivory split faced travertine on the face and the spa is surrounded by the suntan ledge with two teal Ledge Loungers.  The pool tile and top of the spa is a black glass iridescent tile.  The pool is 40′ long and the width varies but roughly 15′ wide.  There is also a raised tanning deck that we built with a concrete footer and cinderblock with stucco finish.  On the front of the raised deck there are 5 spitters with fleur de lis deco spitter.  In between each spitter we used a travertine paver to give depth and around each spitter we used a white glass tile so that it recessed back.  On the suntan deck there are 4 lounge chairs.  On the other end of the pool we built a fire pit that is 3 steps down, so that kids could sit on the pool coping and it would act as a bench.  The owner also put string lights over the fire pit area.  The deck surrounding the fire pit is a broken flagstone with mortar joints.  We also topped their existing concrete porches with travertine.

Landscaping

Lastly we built the 4′ aluminum fencing surrounding the pool with 3 gates leading to the pool.  The owners put a nice assortment of tropical landscape with 2 Sylvester palm trees by the beach entrance, 3 mule palms by the raised deck, 4 queen palms by the house and 3 Chinese palms.  They also put clumping bamboo on the neighbors side that really screened the next door neighbors house.  There are an assortment of banana trees that actually fruit!  Check out the construction photos and latest photos where the landscaping was to where it is now!

 

Swimming pool construction

Here is a job we completed June 2013.  This swimming pool construction is located uptown in New Orleans.  This pool features a raised stucco finished wall with 4 New Orleans Sewer and Water Board sconces and spitters.  It also features a travertine diamond cut pattern, a 12″X24″ coping, a ground level hot tub, suntan ledge with bubblers and a swim jet.  The swim jet allows the owner to swim against a current without going anywhere.
