Now that the pool has almost been completed, the process of landscaping the surrounding area has begun. The removal of an elderberry tree to limit the damamge caused by leaves and the effects of bird droppings around the pool. The creation of a concreted slab base on which to erect a gazebo tent is well underway with the incursion of weeds and other uninvited vegitation being curtailed through concreted ditches and dividing fences.
The main area around the pool outside of the flagstones wil be gravelled with walkways of tiles and duckboards to break up the scene and to make the transition from pool to seat without foot protection a relatively painless experience.
