Pools and Spas: Everything You Need to Know to Design and Landscape a Pool

I purchased three popular books on pools from Amazon. Of the three, the Sunset book was clearly the most useful in helping us to decide where to put the pool, how to build it, which options to choose, and how to landscape it. My least favorite book, Pool Idea Book by Tauton, had more photos of pools but less instruction. I also recommend Pools & Spas by David Short.

Mostly about pool construction; from where to place in your yard to finishing. I purchased this book because I wanted landscaping ideas for around my existing pool.....the book has plenty of pictures of finished pools with lots of potted plants....did not meet my needs for quality of information, because I do not want a bunch of pots as landscaping.

Use this as an reference guide when developing a backyard project plan. Gives practical information on all the things you need to consider... hundreds of decisions to be made! Research the components so you can make informed decisions in advance and talk with contractors/suppliers confidently. I bought a used book, its condition is very good and delivery was quick.

good ideas. I am a landscape designer

Excelente, buenas ideas

this was a gift for my friend who was thinking about putting a pool in her yard. She said it had lots of good information.

I was looking for something with more detailed information about the common pool equipment on the market and how it works. Good for aesthetic planning.

it's original, good qualiti and fast shiping . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
