C & R Pool Plastering has been busy doing swimming pool remodels and replastering but this new pool construction, plastered in the popular Gemstone pebble “Obsidian”, created a lot of excitement for us. In conjunction with Diamond Pools this Loomis pool project shows excellent landscape and pool design complete with vanishing edge, spa, pond with waterfall and an approach to the pool that has ‘pillars of fire’.

We completed a swimming pool remodel project in El Dorado Hills that was featured in the March edition of the Home Improvement magazine. Working with the design team of Green Valley Nursery & Landscape, we removed the white standard plaster and replaced it with Gemstone’s Sandstone Obsidian Gold. Along with Green Valley Nursery, our team included Erik Johnson Tile and Jill Hardesty from Beyond the Gate Landscape Design.

Many swimming pool contractors in the Sacramento region have provided Sacramento homeowners over the years with swimming pool/spa combinations. While at the time this option sounded great to homeowners, this type of spa was the “Poor Man’s Spa.” Yes, we know we might ruffle some feathers, but truth be told, not one swimming pool contractor would put this in their backyard. Why? These spas are horribly energy inefficient and therapeutically lacking. The design of this spa is usually done with the addition of a spa dam wall. The spa is operated by an oversized pool pump, which whether you are in the spa or not, you are using a large amount of energy to filter your pool 365 days a year. And, these spas were usually controlled manually.

In contrast, a well designed spa has an automated control system, a separate pump for the jets and the jets were looped meaning the pressure output of the jets were equal. Unlike the “Poor Man’s Spa,” where the jets are in a straight line, the first jet had the most pressure and the last jet had little pressure.

Take a look at the photos below to see how we converted an inefficient spa to a Caribbean shelf, great for the grand-kids and relaxing in a chair for you to sip on a margarita
