Patio Addition - Worth the $$
We recently added some patio space around our pool This was for two reasons.
- We wanted more space for patio furniture.
- We wanted it to be easier to maintain.
Additional patio furniture was needed as we only had two chaise lounges. They are great, but with a family of 4, more was needed.
What was a great bonus, was the ability to have a set of lounges that capture the morning sun and a set that captures the afternoon sun. Not having to move these heavy loungers around was key! One of my favorite springtime activities is jumping into a 50 ° F pool then getting warmed up by the spring sun!
Second, cutting down on the grass around the pool helped keep grass out of it when mowing. I was surprised how much less grass gets in the pool after I mow. Some still gets in, but it's less and it's worth it to us to have natural grass around the pool.
As you can see in the picture above, we were also able to encompass the drains in concrete too. This makes it easier to use as well.
The project wasn't cheap, especially with concrete prices rising, but well worth it. It's like we have a brand-new pool now!
