Q: How much room do you need around a pool?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-choose-a-swimming-pool-design.htm">When designing your dream pool</a>, it's important to leave enough room for safe walkways, patios, and extras such as outdoor kitchens and fire pits. Your local building codes may specify the minimum space between your pool and your house, utility lines, and property line. In most cases, the area of the patio around the pool should be equal to or greater than the surface area of the pool.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals customize enclosures to fit unusual spaces?

• <div><p>Yes, with custom measurements ensuring perfect fit and function.</p></div>

Q: Can I customize my pool design according to specific preferences?

• <div><p>Yes, pool designs can be customized to accommodate specific preferences, allowing for unique shapes, personalized tiling, special lighting features, water fixtures, and varying depths to create bespoke leisure experiences.</p></div>

Q: Can a retaining wall be a pool fence?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-retaining-wall.htm">retaining wall</a> can only function as a fence if it&rsquo;s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn&rsquo;t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall. </p></div>

My concrete is now peeling up all over and it is absolutely horrible. They had a reasonable price and seemed to work very hard but this work just wasn’t worth the money. It also isn’t flat so water pools in it. I saw that it wasn’t very good right at the beginning and told them not to...
