~Courtyard/Pool Renovation in Bluff View Estates ~ We Removed Old concrete decking, coping, and tile. Leveled the pool, created new stained concrete w/salt finish concrete decking, coping, tile, planters, plaster, and laminar color-changing fountains. Then landscaped the beds. click here to see the job pics, start to finish

Demolition Time!
Laminar Jet Fountain installation
You must look at these color changing Laminar Jet fountains at night to get the full effect, but here you can still see some of the light reflecting through the stream of water.
Finished installing the Base (crushed Limestone) and starting the rebar work
Now waiting on Special order Iridescent Glass Tile to be manufactured so that we can proceed with the project.
Above: Old tile removed, now to fix the bond beam (to level the pool)
Wood forms complete, now ready to pour on top of bond beam to level it before tile installation
Above: A generous amount of bonding adhesive is applied to ensure a strong, chemical bond between the old cement of bond beam and the new fortified cement we are using to level the pool.
Above: Now that forms are off, scored/perforated the tile area to prep it for the fortified brown coat that serves as a waterproof backing for new tile
Below: It took almost four months for the Artisan in California to hand craft the custom tile.
"At last, the special order iridescent peacock glass tiles finally arrive!!!!!"
