Can you build a pool in thin air?

This beautiful pool and spa were built in an area where there was no backyard whatsoever, just a steep hillside.
 

 
Before this pool could be built, we first had to build the yard. A 27-foot high by 120-foot long concrete retaining wall backfilled with over 3,000 yards of soil had to be engineered, constructed and pass rigid inspection by the L.A. Building Department.

Yes, this was a very expensive project on a hillside in Los Angeles, but it shows we have the knowledge and experience to build a pool where there was previously no yard, just air.

For detailed photos of the construction of the retaining wall, yard and this pool, buy our New Pool and Remodeling CD or you can first take a look at some of our case studies.
