"It went very well.  Construction was behind schedule due to the weather.  Approximate build time was 11-12 weeks. Christian did everything we contracted him to do with no hidden expenses or extra charges.  He provided us a packet with all the build details and costs.   He didn't bill us till what we thought was the appropriate time for each stage of the building process.  If we needed to call him and ask questions, he always answered or called us back within a short amount of time.  Christian worked with a two to three man team and they were always professional and respectful.

Christian looked at our property and gave us a vision of what he thought would work and look good.  We trusted his vision and it came out perfectly.  We requested some additional changes and he was very accommodating.  One was outside the budget and we felt the extra expense was very fair.  

The pool came out great.  Everything was level, the travertine and tile (water line) came out perfect.  The travertine was cut perfectly and uniform around the edges.  We were very happy with the color of the plaster (he recommended), tile, travertine, and the rock (tanning ledge).  After completing the pool, Christian provided us with the cleaning equipment including a pressure side pool cleaner, skimming net and scrub brush, and chemicals to get started.

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

The difference between river rock and landscaping rocks is size, smoothness, and use. River rocks are smooth and flat, as if polished by water, and come in diameters between 1 and 8 inches. Landscape rock can vary in size from small pea gravel installations to car-sized boulders. However, landscaping and river rocks are interchangeable in many situations. River rock is best for pathways, walkways, garden bed mulch, water features, and planting accents, while small landscape rocks can serve as a walkway base, gravel playground areas, and filler between pavers.

The ideal amount of mulch is the square footage of your desired depth in inches divided by 324. Aim to keep your old and/or new mulch at a depth of no more than three or four inches.

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.

The right depth depends on your intended use for the area. For instance, pea gravel for walkways and patios typically only needs to be about 2 to 3 inches deep. However, driveways and other areas with heavier loads may require 4 to 6 inches for better stability.

Mulching any time of year can attract termites, so there’s no added risk in the fall. The important thing to remember is that termites are attracted to rotting wood, so you need to lay a thin enough layer that won’t trap too much moisture and lead to rotting. A layer between 1 and 4 inches thick should provide all the benefits you’re looking for without attracting termites.
