Absolutely! We finished such an installation last summer and love it! Some considerations:

1) Be sure that your pool + deck dimensions will fit on the slope. The slope is often visually deceiving. Use a string and string level to stake out a horizontal line out over the slope and measure at the proposed down hill side of the pool for appropriate depth. Check this every few feet across your proposed pool area, as you will need to excavate ONLY to make a flat spot for the pool. Do not try to build up a level spot with fill. It will settle taking your pool with it! Also avoid placing your pool in a gully swale or drainage path, anywhere that channels water runoff.

2) Spray paint excavation lines 2-3 ft wider than the pool dimension to guide the dig.

3) DIG! A bobcat will make short order of your work.

4) Slope the upside of you excavation so that fill does not wash in upagaist the pool sides. We chose to cover the up hill side of the dig with landscape fabric to minimize washing of the soil.

5) Be sure your excevation is level, and that soil will not build up against pool walls.

6) Assemle the pool and Deck it, spanning from pool to ground level.

Can you install an inground pool over the building restriction line?

No, you cannot install an inground pool over the building restriction line. Building restriction lines are established by local zoning laws to ensure safety, privacy, and proper land use, and they typically set limits on where structures can be placed on a property. Installing a pool beyond these lines may violate local regulations and could result in fines or the need to remove the pool. Always check with local authorities or a zoning expert before proceeding with such installations.


Where can I find pool deck designs?

One of the biggest trends in outdoor design today is a decorative concrete pool deck, a colored, textured and inviting area surrounding the pool that does more than provide a safe, slip-resistant deck for sunbathing and barbecuing. Inground pool decks are now given nearly as much attention as the interior design of the home.
