Just wait 
Quoted from Atari_Daze:Idk, looks damn cool from here!
LOL, fantastic idea.
Quoted from TractorDoc:If you could put a floating pinball/arcade station in the center now that would be something. . .
Quoted from PACMAN:So i hired a pool company to create a design. This is what i got. Crazy amount of plants and piles of rocks. NOT what had in mind, there's no style.
I agree. Not digging the rocks/edging that completely encircle the pool. Makes if feel confining.
Your starting point definitely has potential though.

That's because they were using the Donkey Kong pool design software.
You should contact Blimpey and see who he used for his pool. He has like a playboy "Grotto" and a pirate ship! I think the artificial rock wall would look better than a bunch of boulders.
That pool coping is UGLY. I like the stone but it should be flush with the deck. You have to stub you toe all around the pool? Also why is it so narrow almost looks like a fiber glass pool.
The Donkey Kong compraison made me spit my cereal all over my screen. I kept thinking that in looked familiar, lol
Quoted from zh2oson:I'm expecting at least this:
Don't knock it! That was the limo I took to the prom.

It is actually an improvment over their old software that was based on Contra, so...

I went through this two years ago. Did not modify the shell as the expense was outrageous. At the end of the day, the pool remodel & backyard renovation was just as expensive as a new pool would have been. Demo'ing the existing pool was crazy expensive as well. Here is a time-lapse video if interested:

Thanks! Lots more to come.
Quoted from sbmania:That is going to be incredible!! Your final design is off the charts! I thought my pool looked cool til I saw yours. Not even in the same ballpark. Keep us updated with pics along the way.
time lapse. Started about 3 months ago.
Quoted from zh2oson:Lots of work for an afternoon. These guys move fast!
Quoted from Pinballlew:This looks great! I have my bathing suit ready for the summer Pinball and pool party!
