In this industry populated by people, who have learned their craft by the seat of their pants, or from others who did the same, it is nice to know there is a place where quality workmanship and industry standards are actually taught.

		<description><![CDATA[By Eric Herman (written for Luxury Pools Magazine)
There was a time when swimming pools were relatively limited in terms of their aesthetic bandwidth. They were either kidney, rectangular, or lazy-L shaped, with white plaster, blue waterline tile, bullnose coping, and—if you were lucky—maybe tile mosaics depicting fish.
These days, however, that has changed completely. Swimming pools [...]]]></description>

In our previous articles on pool construction we have discussed design, required city permits, excavation and steel reinforcement. We are almost ready for shooting the pool shell. However we most consider that some tasks required in the construction of must be at least partially performed before the pool shell is built, namely the [...]]]></description>

It should be noted that not everything must be the same. Sometimes even simplest changes, such as the direction of the tile can make all the difference in the world. Doing so may add visual interest by emphasizing a new direction for the eye to follow. On a recent project we used a [...]]]></description>

It has long been known we are effected by color. Our moods and emotions are altered by the application of the colors that surround us. For example artist, across a variety of media, have been using color to bring emotion to their creations since the beginning of time. Decorators use a similar understanding of color, carefully applying their [...]]]></description>

Not all water features need be massive rock waterfalls that relinquish a torrent of water and sound. Some of the nicest water features are small in size but powerful in effect. These smaller water features can stand on their own or be part of a larger body of water, such as a pool [...]]]></description>

In a recent renovation project, we had the opportunity to completely change the appearance of a pool by both the choice of our material, and by the attention to detail in its application. Originally the pool was surrounded by red brick. There was red brick everywhere, as coping to the pool beam and as [...]]]></description>

It is amazing, if not mind boggling, that something as big and as heavy as a concrete deck can move. One would think that something of this sort, when constructed would stay put. However, decks can and do move. Sometimes just slightly, with only slightly noticeable effects, and other times by several inches or more, where [...]]]></description>
