Among all the decisions that come with adding a pool, the decision of gunite vs. fiberglass is the very first one to decide upon. These two pool materials are completely different and therefore have their own sets of advantages and disadvantages.

The material from which your pool is constructed is obviously an important decision and you want to invest your money wisely.

You may be worried that you’ll make the wrong choice and be disappointed. That may be why you’re doing some research at the onset in order to make sure that your pool is a wonderful addition to your backyard—and not a constant source of worry.

The patio surrounding your pool is a key element of the entire pool design, though it’s often given a lot less thought than it should. It’s where you’ll lounge while watching your kids play or while you’re taking a break from your own swim.

A six-foot elevation change is not exactly what most people have in mind when they picture their dream backyard. For one Leesburg family, however, a sharply sloped property in two different directions became the starting point for an ambitious outdoor transformation. Working with Rock Water Farm, experienced pool builders in Loudoun County, allowed the homeowners to turn difficult terrain into an advantage, ultimately creating the resort-like pool and outdoor living environment they had envisioned for their forever home.Because apparently asking gravity to simply stop being a problem was not an available option.

At Rock Water Farm, we design and build complete outdoor living environments throughout Northern Virginia. Our projects can incorporate custom pools, natural stone patios, outdoor fireplaces, retaining walls, landscape plantings, lighting, and drainage solutions, all developed around the conditions of the individual property.
