The pool is a step down from their bar area and the outdoor kitchen next to the pool along with the golf putting green was everything they had dreamed of. They are a very sociable family and even supply a gate to the next door neighbour for them to use the pool. The main challenge we faced was access into the garden. The only way we could gain access was through a school behind the clients fence. We took down the fence and had all materials and machinery come through the school! We had a small window of the 6 weeks holiday to do this and the school were very accommodating as long as we finished on time, so it was all hands on deck for this installation! We installed some stunning pearlescent glass mosaics in line with keeping with the dark copings and decking surround. The white LED lights at night highlight the tiles and beautiful colour of water to m
