Rock Work: Wasatch Mountain Granite
Trying to blend perfectly with the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, this remodel project was built with Wasatch Mountain boulders on the waterfall and thoughout the steps and spa. The pool used to be just a standard flat kidney bean shape. We added a 2 large reef steps, a waterfall around the spa, a multi-tiered waterfall in the pool, and a planter wall. The boulders inside the pool had to be cut to form around the gunite which gave the appearance that the pool was formed around the boulders. We also brought in a custom landscaper to create multiple elevations with planters and give it that perfect mountainesqe feel. A nice mix of birch trees, pine, and low level Utah native plants spread throughout the yard. The firepit is formed 1/2 with a wall and 1/2 with a boulder. Like the pool, the idea was to make it seem like the firepit was built around this existing boulder. Big sheets of flagstone pavers make up a good portion of the decking area with a little stamped concrete.
