Being on a sloping block it great to see all the different levels and zones, we have lots of space so we have banked large parts of the yard to plant on instead of using retaining wall, working with the slope instead of making in all flat. We now have to wait for the cut sandstone to come from Heildon to retain the paving around the pool which will be a 2 tier paved area. I can finally order the fence as the levels are sorted so the custom panels can be made. The path from the deck will curve around the rock garden.

So after 3 weekends of trying we also were able to get the bobcat back to lay all the garden soil and mulch to stablise the slopes.

Fingers crossed the fence will go in on Monday, and my house of cards only got wet and not washed away and the pool will be finished for Christmas.

Re: Our pool journey begins - The sandstone blocks are in 67Dec 17, 2010 9:42 am Your pool and landscaping are looking fantastic. Hope it is all done before Christmas for you. Sonya Re: Our pool journey begins - The sandstone blocks are in 68Dec 20, 2010 2:50 pm OMG what a morning we have had, after waiting 4weeks for the pool fence to turn up (when we were told 2 no more than 3) the installers came this morning, but it turns out that 2 off the custom panel are the wrong size (I am sure at times that they don't listen to you when you give them all the levels & measurements) So now we have a rush on getting the correct size panel and all fingers and toes are crossed that the installer can come back on Wednesday. We can only keep on hoping it will all be finished by the end of the week.

So we just made it for christmas. Landscaping still hasn't been finished with the rain and flooding we have had up here has caused delays. We are still waiting for the landscaper to able to get access to the sandstone mine at Heildon which was badly effected by the flash flooding. Here is some photo I took whilst the pool was being filled.
