Do not plant large trees close to the pool. Or maybe any trees.

You handled the permits? How did you find all of the subs (diggers, plumbers, electricians, plaster, masons, etc.)? I assume you have friends that are contractors?

Longest operating fiberglass pool builder in area. The Hebert family has been doing this since early 80’s. Don’t waste time with any others

Russel doesn’t do fiberglass and gunite that size would cost $140-150 sf for basic pool

Prices change quickly but the best vinyl liner pool installer in the area is Kerry Hebert if you can get him. No relation to Hebert family at Central Pools. Both really fine people!

I've been told there are two Russell Pools (brothers who split). One is supposed to be good, the other not so much -- but I can't tell you which is which. Just beware.
