Our Midcity New Orleans pool

Midcity New Orleans swimming pool

Here is our swimming pool located in mid city New Orleans.  This Midcity New Orleans swimming pool consists of an automatic pool cover on tracks, a raised brick wall with spitters, brick coping, silver travertine french pattern pavers with brick edging, chlorine with UV sanitation, a heat pump and cool system.  The pool is rectangular in shape and will have a bench on one end and the steps on the other end.  This Midcity New Orleans swimming pool tile and a cobalt blue color.  The brick on the coping and the raised wall were salvaged from the homeowner’s backyard during demo of concrete and brick area where the pool was to be placed.  The silver travertine french pattern pavers were outlined in the brick also, to tie in the decking with the pool. The owner had 6″ drainage ran from the rear yard to the street.   The cover is open and closed by a open/close switch by the back door.  The switch has a lock on it that only opens with a key, this is done for safety reasons.  The cover will keep the pool temperature warmer but will also prevent evaporation when the cover is closed.  Also, the cover will keep grass clippings and leaves out of the pool when the cover is closed.  The cover has a motor that opens and closes it and the process takes about 30 seconds to open all the way or close it all the way.

Mandeville swimming pool

Mandeville swimming pool

Here is our latest job for May 2012 being constructed in Mandeville, La.  This Mandeville swimming pool is a grecian pool that will have a suntan ledge with 3 bubblers, a bench, travertine pavers, and 3 deck jet spitters.  The dimensions of this Mandeville swimming pool is 15’X38.5′.  The owner will add on to their existing home so this pool sits back on their 1 acre yard.  This Mandeville swimming pool was constructed in Kevin Knott’s neighborhood and was a convience to build for Crystal Pools.  We did get rained on a lot during this construction process but we fought through it.  We finished this pool in under a month from the day we dug the pool.  We designed the steps to be offset from the suntan ledge to cut down from how much length we might have taken from putting the steps in front of the suntan ledge.

Finished up pool in Baton Rouge

We just wrapped up the swimming pool in Baton Rouge, what a beauty!  The construction from beginning to the end took exactly 4 weeks and that included the demolition of the old fiberglass pool. The pool has wonderful ivory french pattern travertine pavers with a upgraded 2″ 12″X24″ travertine coping.  The pool also features a midnight blue plaster, a computer system, 2 500 watt lights.  There is a raised wall that has 2 elevations.  The lower elevation walls are finished in stucco with a stone cap and a total of 4 fleur de lis spitters.  The raised portion of the wall is stacked stone with a stone cap and a 4 foot waterfall that can also trickle down the stone to give a rain like aesthetic.  In front of the wall features a bench so that the customer can sit under the waterfall.  The pool also has a suntan ledge with 3 bubbler fountains. I will update a new photo on Crystal Pools website sometime next week when the landscaper installs the landscaping.  Thanks and hope you enjoy our latest addition to our collection!!!

Baton Rouge fiberglass pool to gunite pool transformation

Here is our fiberglass to gunite pool overhaul

 

The last 2 weeks Crystal Pools and Spas have been working in Baton Rouge.  We tore out an existing fiberglass swimming pool and are replacing it with a gunite swimming pool with a new design/features.  The owner a prior happy customer of ours decided instead of renovating his existing swimming pool he wanted an concrete pool.  So the demolition began and as you can see in the photos the first step was ripping out the fiberglass pool and hauling it off.  The next step was the following day and we had to dig the dirt in a new larger design.  The new pool is equipped with a suntan ledge, benches, bubblers, and a raised stacked stone/stucco wall.  My father and I plumbed the pool with new equipment and our electrician hooked up the equipment.  We had our tile crew install the swimming pool tile, stacked stone, waterfall, and the 2″ travertine coping. Tomorrow we begin on the travertine paver decking followed by the plaster next week.
