No, that drops off to the lawn and dock below. We will have a gradual grade to the canal wall. That patio and garden will be about 9 feet above the canal, so the pool overlooks it all.
The front and sides I didn't really get many pics of, but on the full front of the house you can see how it's not even graded yet.
We don't have the pool screen on yet, so what you see will be all screened in.
Oooooh, so when you look out toward the pool you'll see deck, pool, garden, canal ? Who maintains that garden in the summer, a homeowners association ?
Oh! You are going to screen? Oops, back to the drawing board. :)
I've got your photo 118-1826 up in another window and I see that you already have some beautiful palms along the canal. Also, there is a good shot of the houses across the canal in thta same photo .... Is that how yours will look like once the contractor finishes his part of the landscaping ?
