Ray Saunders pool was difficult to maintain. Nearby plants dropped lots of leaves into it and the straw roof of the gazebo had deteriorated over the years so even bits of straw would end up in the pool.
Says Ray, ‘The original pool pavers were small and old-fashioned, sat unevenly and weeds thrived in the gaps. After removing them and laying a concrete slab, I replanted the plants in the garden away from the pool. Then I laid new terracotta pavers.’
‘I removed the straw roof from the gazebo and fashioned Western red cedar into a weatherproof long-lasting roof. The pool has never looked better or been easier to clean’.
Ray pulled up old pavers and poured a concrete slab to keep new terracotta paving on the level
