What happens here
With the site prepared, focus on the pool's structure. This includes installing a new pool liner if it's a vinyl liner pool, or applying a new finish for concrete pools (e.g., plaster, pebble tech). Concurrently, install the pool coping, which is the cap around the pool's edge. This can be made of concrete, natural stone, or pre-cast pavers. Ensure the coping is level, properly sloped away from the pool, and securely adhered to the pool bond beam. Integrate any skimmers, returns, or other pool features into the coping and pool structure.
Goal: Install the pool liner/finish and complete the pool coping.
