We built a bespoke pool plant room from Siberian larch which included a green roof ; laid new stepping stone slabs ( for access from the house to the lawn and up to the pool ); installed the pool drainage , and all new water and electrical services for the pool . On completion of the project , and due to all the site works traffic , the drive was fully reinstated with new stone to match the existing gravel .
The highlight for the Project Team was handing the completed swimming pool over to our clients , who commented “ we are delighted with our new pool . The landscape design and planting scheme create the soft and natural setting that we were hoping to achieve . George and the Urban Earth team worked hard to deliver our project on time with skill and positivity . They were a pleasure to have on site .” Delighted as always knowing that we have not only met , but have exceeded their high expectations ; and that everything went swimmingly !
