...take jaw-dropping
pool designs to the next level.

Anyone can build a pool,

00:00:30,029 --> 00:00:33,231
but these pools
are a little slice of paradise.

on the East Coast

00:00:40,204 --> 00:00:43,273
of Florida in Wellington
to check out a new project.
21
00:00:43,275 --> 00:00:45,377
I see the Steins' home.
22
00:00:45,379 --> 00:00:46,677
It's just incredible.
23
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:48,644
I mean, all the greenery
and the palm trees
24
00:00:48,646 --> 00:00:50,748
and the landscaping
bursts with colors.
25
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:54,518
Big, beautiful house
means big, beautiful pool.
26
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,852
Hey. Good morning.
27
00:00:55,854 --> 00:00:57,489
Hey. I'm Tracy.
Hi. Lucas.
28
00:00:57,491 --> 00:00:59,022
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
29
00:00:59,024 --> 00:01:02,293
I can't wait
to hear what they're thinking
30
00:01:02,295 --> 00:01:03,760
for their backyard paradise.
31
00:01:03,762 --> 00:01:04,827
What's up, guys?
32
00:01:04,829 --> 00:01:05,997
All: Hey, Lucas.
33
00:01:05,999 --> 00:01:07,531
Stepping into
the Steins' backyard,
34
00:01:07,533 --> 00:01:08,831
I can see
why they need me.
35
00:01:08,833 --> 00:01:10,901
They just have this big,
wide-open canvas.
36
00:01:10,903 --> 00:01:13,468
They're obviously looking
for something to do back here,
37
00:01:13,470 --> 00:01:14,972
and we're gonna
make that happen.
38
00:01:14,974 --> 00:01:16,472
Dream maker. Finally.
Yeah. what's up?
39
00:01:16,474 --> 00:01:17,810

Hey, Jeremy. Lucas.

Hi, Ginger.

Jeremy Jr.
Jeremy Jr. What's up, buddy?
42
00:01:21,112 --> 00:01:22,447
Tell me a little bit
about the family
43
00:01:22,449 --> 00:01:24,547
and why you guys
want this backyard.
44
00:01:24,549 --> 00:01:27,451
We first moved here
about four, five years ago.
45
00:01:27,453 --> 00:01:29,084
So we sat around
making our list
46
00:01:29,086 --> 00:01:30,655
of all the things
that we want to do --
47
00:01:30,657 --> 00:01:32,522
our dream list
of all the changes
48
00:01:32,524 --> 00:01:33,822
we want to do on the inside
49
00:01:33,824 --> 00:01:36,826
and then, ultimately,
the backyard.
50
00:01:36,828 --> 00:01:40,063
Jeremy and I, we usually do,
every year for our anniversary,
51
00:01:40,065 --> 00:01:41,797
the resort vacations.
Yep.
52
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:43,234
That's like
our favorite thing to do,
53
00:01:43,236 --> 00:01:46,638
is just to sit by the pool
and have a cocktail.
54
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,338
We just want to be able
to create that in our backyard
55
00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:50,742
and not have to travel.
56
00:01:50,744 --> 00:01:53,242
We're looking to have
that resort feel here
57
00:01:53,244 --> 00:01:55,446
so that we can spend
our anniversaries at home.
58
00:01:55,448 --> 00:01:57,146
Our 20th is coming up.
59
00:01:57,148 --> 00:02:00,450
Wow. Congratulations.
And I'm hoping that this
can be done by then.
60
00:02:00,452 --> 00:02:03,155
How much time
does that give me?
61
00:02:03,157 --> 00:02:04,355
Five months.
Alright.
62
00:02:04,357 --> 00:02:05,388
At least it's not
five weeks.
63
00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:07,859
This is gonna be
a really special project.
64
00:02:07,861 --> 00:02:10,992
I just need to find out what
they want to put back here.
65
00:02:10,994 --> 00:02:12,496
We have a lot of ideas.
66
00:02:12,498 --> 00:02:14,629
I am a Cuban-American,
so I kind of want
67
00:02:14,631 --> 00:02:16,600
that Mediterranean feel,
the Caribbean feel.
68
00:02:16,602 --> 00:02:18,034
Well, you got a lot
of space for it.
69
00:02:18,036 --> 00:02:21,238
So, are you thinking
mostly pool-resort area,
70
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,475
or you want to maintain
some grassy areas?
71
00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:25,242
Yeah. I actually want to try
and use up
72
00:02:25,244 --> 00:02:26,808
as much of the space
as possible.
73
00:02:26,810 --> 00:02:28,779
So basically, this whole thing
is my canvas.
74
00:02:28,781 --> 00:02:30,779
Whatever you can do,
make it happen.
75
00:02:30,781 --> 00:02:32,450
I want something
really majestic,
76
00:02:32,452 --> 00:02:35,350
but yet still feel
kind of homey.
77
00:02:35,352 --> 00:02:36,554
Anything else
to add to that?
78
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:38,687
I would like to make it
a little more private.
79
00:02:38,689 --> 00:02:41,425
But I want to ensure
that we keep this view in play.
80
00:02:41,427 --> 00:02:43,725
I'd like to do some sort
of sun shelf
81
00:02:43,727 --> 00:02:46,196
where the chair's
in the water,
82
00:02:46,198 --> 00:02:48,166
but you don't have to go
all the way in the water.
83
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:49,966
It just kind of keeps you cool.
Yeah.
84
00:02:49,968 --> 00:02:52,737
I want one of those.
We can do that.
85
00:02:52,739 --> 00:02:54,004
I don't know what else
is missing.
86
00:02:54,006 --> 00:02:55,804
I mean, you pretty much threw it
all out there.
87
00:02:55,806 --> 00:02:57,574
I got one more idea.
Yeah?
88
00:02:57,576 --> 00:02:58,974
We do a lot of,
you know, fitness,
89
00:02:58,976 --> 00:03:01,079
so we'd love to be able
to figure out a way
90
00:03:01,081 --> 00:03:02,379
to put an outdoor gym.
91
00:03:02,381 --> 00:03:04,349
That would be cool.
That would be a first for me.
92
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:05,616
Anything else
to add to that?
93
00:03:05,618 --> 00:03:07,883
I mean, pretty much your dad
said he wants everything.
94
00:03:07,885 --> 00:03:09,153
A hot tub
would be pretty nice.
95
00:03:09,155 --> 00:03:11,120

Yeah.

Lucas: That's what a resort's
all about.
97
00:03:12,826 --> 00:03:14,957
If you want to relax
or go wild,
98
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:15,991
you can do it all.
99
00:03:15,993 --> 00:03:17,128
Alright, guys,
well, I just need
100
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:18,628
a little alone time
in this backyard.
101
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:20,528
I'll come inside
and get you when I'm ready.
102

Sounds good.

that's a huge milestone.

And I'm going to make it
one they won't forget.
107
00:03:29,643 --> 00:03:31,341
I think I've got
the perfect design
108
00:03:31,343 --> 00:03:33,078
that will give them
everything they want
109
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,878
and maybe a little more.
110
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,115

see what they think.

00:03:37,117 --> 00:03:39,415
Oh, you guys are right in
your little lanai area.
112

That's it.

Give you that majestic,
Mediterranean resort look,

00:03:46,659 --> 00:03:49,090
what if, as you walk
out of this lanai,
117
00:03:49,092 --> 00:03:52,228
the first feature you come to
will be your sun shelf?
118
00:03:52,230 --> 00:03:53,832
So you can be lounging here
119
00:03:53,834 --> 00:03:55,665
with your own little,
private waterfall.
120
00:03:55,667 --> 00:03:58,869
You'll have a beautiful view
of that infinity-edge spa
121
00:03:58,871 --> 00:04:00,736
connecting that view
to the lake,
122
00:04:00,738 --> 00:04:03,607
so it just feels like
one endless body of water.
123
00:04:03,609 --> 00:04:05,877
Then, as you swim
underneath the bridge,
124
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:08,844
you pop out on the other side,
where you have more waterfalls,
125
00:04:08,846 --> 00:04:12,215
the big grotto, back to this
little, secret beach area
126

with a natural,
woodburning fire pit.

00:04:14,654 --> 00:04:16,852
This little alcove right here
in the house,
128
00:04:16,854 --> 00:04:19,356
we build that into
basically an outdoor living room
129
00:04:19,358 --> 00:04:22,227
with built-in seating
and a fire pit
130
00:04:22,229 --> 00:04:24,827
and Jeremy's gym
on that side of the house.
131
00:04:24,829 --> 00:04:26,564
I mean, you're gonna have
all of the amenities.
132
00:04:26,566 --> 00:04:28,064
I really like that design.
133
00:04:28,066 --> 00:04:30,469

in Wellington.

LUCAS: This is going to be a
huge overhaul to their backyard,
137
00:04:36,475 --> 00:04:39,277
but I've got the perfect team
to get it started.
138
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,943
You guys ready to get
started or what?!

-Yeah! Let's go!
140

I got plans! Let's lay
this puppy out and see
what we're working with!
141
00:04:46,416 --> 00:04:49,552
Before we can start digging,
we have to survey the yard
142
00:04:49,554 --> 00:04:54,289
and mark out the shape of
this free-form pool and spa.
143
00:04:54,291 --> 00:04:55,726
Big spa.
144
00:04:55,728 --> 00:04:59,031
With the backyard all mapped
out, it's time to build.
145
00:04:59,033 --> 00:05:01,531
It'll move some dirt.
146
00:05:01,533 --> 00:05:04,735
The access to this backyard
is extremely tight.

That way.
No, the front that way.
151

Now it's time to start
doing some digging.
157
00:05:36,303 --> 00:05:38,934
This pool is massive. I'm taking
a lot of dirt out of here --
158
00:05:38,936 --> 00:05:40,338
360 yards.
159
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:42,738
That's like 25 dump trucks.
160
00:05:42,740 --> 00:05:44,709
Well, the pool's all dug.
Know what time it is?
161
00:05:44,711 --> 00:05:46,109
Rebar time.
162
00:05:46,111 --> 00:05:49,613
On this pool, we're using
13,000 pounds of #4 rebar,
163
00:05:49,615 --> 00:05:52,417
which is more than enough
support for all our rockwork.

has been installed

for the pool and huge spa,
168
00:05:59,490 --> 00:06:02,859
which will have eight
powerful therapy jets.
169
00:06:02,861 --> 00:06:07,029
We spray in 200 yards of gunite
to complete the pool form.
170
00:06:07,031 --> 00:06:09,933
That's five times as much
as your average pool.
171
00:06:09,935 --> 00:06:12,433
Once all the gunite's
shot in, we hand-trowel it

00:06:12,435 --> 00:06:13,904
so it's all smooth.
173
00:06:13,906 --> 00:06:17,175
Then once it's cured, it's time
for my favorite part --
174
00:06:17,177 --> 00:06:18,542
rockwork.
175
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:25,683
¶¶
176
00:06:25,685 --> 00:06:28,383
We're bringing in about 100
ton of Tennessee field stone
177
00:06:28,385 --> 00:06:30,554
to give them
that resort look and feel
178
00:06:30,556 --> 00:06:33,291
in that grotto
on a massive scale.
179
00:06:34,993 --> 00:06:37,362
Alright, guys. You ready
to build a grotto or what?
180
00:06:37,364 --> 00:06:38,629
-Yeah.
-Yeah, we're ready.
181
00:06:38,631 --> 00:06:41,500
Fellow rock mongrels,
here we are once again
182
00:06:41,502 --> 00:06:43,800
at the beginning
of a large rock job.
183
00:06:43,802 --> 00:06:45,637
We're gonna span
this entire thing
184
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,337
with just natural
Tennessee field stone.
185
00:06:48,339 --> 00:06:51,074
Now, I'm hoping we can do this
with 96 ton of stone.
186
00:06:51,076 --> 00:06:53,778
Basically we're making, like,
three little grottos
187
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:56,245
and piecing them together.
Pretty much.
188
00:06:56,247 --> 00:06:58,416
Guys, first day's
always a hectic, busy day.
189
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:00,816
We got a lot of work to do,
but once we get set up,
190
00:07:00,818 --> 00:07:03,720
we're gonna start stacking
some serious rocks. You ready?
191
00:07:03,722 --> 00:07:05,320
-I'm ready.
-Ready.
-Let's do it.
192
00:07:05,322 --> 00:07:08,124
¶¶
193
00:07:08,126 --> 00:07:11,428
First rock, huh?
194
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:14,166
We're gonna set this nice, big,
fat center column first...
195
00:07:14,168 --> 00:07:16,032
-Hey, toward me.
-Towards woman.
196
00:07:16,034 --> 00:07:19,136
...because that's the foundation
for the entire structure.
197
00:07:19,138 --> 00:07:21,870
With that in place, we set
the rest of the pillars
198
00:07:21,872 --> 00:07:25,140
and start stacking upwards.
199
00:07:25,142 --> 00:07:28,178
Second layer.
200
00:07:28,180 --> 00:07:30,849
Right there. Beautiful.
Come on down.
201
00:07:30,851 --> 00:07:32,082
-Yeah.
-Bring her in.
202
00:07:32,084 --> 00:07:34,853
-Bring it in.
-She's a beauty.
203
00:07:34,855 --> 00:07:36,919
This rock's the coolest thing
you've ever seen.
204
00:07:36,921 --> 00:07:39,490
And that point
leans into this.
205
00:07:39,492 --> 00:07:40,790
Looking good.
206
00:07:40,792 --> 00:07:42,290
With the grotto taking shape...
207
00:07:42,292 --> 00:07:44,861
Oh, my gosh.
That is awesome.
208
00:07:44,863 --> 00:07:47,065
...we begin work on
the octagonal fire pit
209
00:07:47,067 --> 00:07:49,065
and seating area.
210
00:07:49,067 --> 00:07:51,969
Cinder blocks are cut
and cemented into place,
211
00:07:51,971 --> 00:07:54,569
then it's capped
with decorative stone.

I'm just not pleased with it.

LUCAS: We're here
in Wellington, Florida,
217
00:08:12,189 --> 00:08:16,825
building a backyard beach resort
for the Stein family.
218
00:08:16,827 --> 00:08:19,795
Something's
not right here.
219
00:08:19,797 --> 00:08:21,229
What? It looks good.
220
00:08:21,231 --> 00:08:23,133
I mean, the rocks that are here
look amazing,
221
00:08:23,135 --> 00:08:26,070
but overall,
I'm just not pleased with it.
222
00:08:26,072 --> 00:08:27,270
It's so wide open.
223
00:08:27,272 --> 00:08:29,037
I mean, it doesn't feel
like a grotto.
224
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:31,708
It feels like the grotto
needs to come to here,
225
00:08:31,710 --> 00:08:34,445
so this is a nice, big,
massive hangout area.
226
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:37,345
But this is a huge change
to finish this properly,
227
00:08:37,347 --> 00:08:40,516

I like to see it.
228
00:08:40,518 --> 00:08:41,820
Make the call.
229
00:08:45,055 --> 00:08:47,224
LUCAS: We've got to make
this grotto right.
230
00:08:47,226 --> 00:08:48,857
So while we've got
the equipment,
231
00:08:48,859 --> 00:08:51,228
we're gonna go
bigger and better with it.
232
00:08:53,530 --> 00:08:54,965
We're tiling
the infinity edge
233
00:08:54,967 --> 00:08:58,636
with over 20,000
multicolored iridescent tiles.
234
00:08:58,638 --> 00:09:00,603
Right now, we need to start
building that bridge
235
00:09:00,605 --> 00:09:02,070
that connects
the fire pit area
236
00:09:02,072 --> 00:09:05,140
off the house to
the opposite side of this pool.
237
00:09:05,142 --> 00:09:08,311
The seats for the octagon
fire pit are getting installed.
238
00:09:08,313 --> 00:09:12,615
And now, it's time
for interior finish.
239
00:09:12,617 --> 00:09:15,053
Then, we're ready
to fill this baby up.
240
00:09:15,055 --> 00:09:16,453
Once the pool's filled,
241
00:09:16,455 --> 00:09:18,586

finishing touches.

Lucas: This grotto
is very different
269
00:10:14,079 --> 00:10:15,843
than any grotto
I've ever done before,
270
00:10:15,845 --> 00:10:18,814
and the fact that there's
so many entrances and exits.
271
00:10:18,816 --> 00:10:21,218
Plus, the fire feature
on top of the grotto --
272
00:10:21,220 --> 00:10:23,051
I think that's
my favorite fire feature.
273
00:10:23,053 --> 00:10:25,322
I mean, by far
the most dynamic,
274
00:10:25,324 --> 00:10:26,589
coolest grotto
we've done.

This pool will also feature
a bridge
344
00:13:20,533 --> 00:13:22,431
to an island
in the center.
345
00:13:22,433 --> 00:13:24,835
The family wants more
than a seating area,
346
00:13:24,837 --> 00:13:28,135
so the crew kicks it up a notch
by adding a sunken fire pit
347
00:13:28,137 --> 00:13:31,773
for those cool
California nights.
348
00:13:31,775 --> 00:13:33,177
With the plans
in place,
349
00:13:33,179 --> 00:13:36,210
it's time to get moving
on this mountain-top mega pool.
350
00:13:40,852 --> 00:13:43,084
LUCAS: The Leasure's pool
project is coming right along.
351
00:13:43,086 --> 00:13:45,521
The gunite's cured,
and it's on to the title.
352
00:13:45,523 --> 00:13:49,125
This 40-foot-long infinity edge
will take over 800
353
00:13:49,127 --> 00:13:51,896
carefully placed porcelain tiles
to cover it.
354
00:13:53,731 --> 00:13:55,529
The crew brings in
tons of rock
355
00:13:55,531 --> 00:13:56,667
to build the grotto,
356
00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:59,400
and to accent several areas
around the pool.
357
00:14:02,306 --> 00:14:05,708
The largest is a 9,000-pound
solid piece of stone
358
00:14:05,710 --> 00:14:09,179
to complete the bridge
to the island.
359
00:14:09,181 --> 00:14:11,612
MAN: Okay, slowly,
let's swing this thing over.
360
00:14:11,614 --> 00:14:14,016
I've moved some big stones
in my day,
361
00:14:14,018 --> 00:14:16,354
and the one thing I can tell you
is you can't rush it.
362
00:14:16,356 --> 00:14:19,321
One little mistake,
and this nearly 5-ton stone
363
00:14:19,323 --> 00:14:22,458
could crash into the pool,
and ruin seven weeks of work.
364
00:14:22,460 --> 00:14:25,895
That is perfect, guys.
365
00:14:25,897 --> 00:14:27,462
LUCAS: The crew
finishes the rockwork
366
00:14:27,464 --> 00:14:29,233
on the interior of the grotto,
367
00:14:29,235 --> 00:14:32,604
and the entire pool
is plastered.
368
00:14:32,606 --> 00:14:34,404
After weeks of work
on this project,
369
00:14:34,406 --> 00:14:38,374
it's time to fill
this megapool with water.
370
00:14:38,376 --> 00:14:41,078
This is a moment where
all the hard work pays off
371
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,845
and the family
gets their first peek
372
00:14:42,847 --> 00:14:44,312
at their new backyard.
373
00:14:44,314 --> 00:14:47,549
Leasure family,
Here's your brand-new pool!
374
00:14:47,551 --> 00:14:48,882
Oh, my God!
375
00:14:48,884 --> 00:14:51,553
Oh, my God!
Are you kidding me?!
376
00:14:51,555 --> 00:14:54,191
¶¶
377
00:14:54,193 --> 00:14:56,791
LUCAS: This pool
covers 1,700 square feet
378
00:14:56,793 --> 00:15:00,061
and needs 62,000 gallons
of water to fill it.
379
00:15:00,063 --> 00:15:01,999
MAN: Unbelievable!
380
00:15:02,001 --> 00:15:05,199
¶¶
381
00:15:05,201 --> 00:15:06,603
MAN: Really,
what we wanted to do
382
00:15:06,605 --> 00:15:09,540
is carry out this
entire natural theme
383
00:15:09,542 --> 00:15:11,274
that you not only have
in your house,
384
00:15:11,276 --> 00:15:13,744
but you wanted
to create in your yard.
385
00:15:13,746 --> 00:15:17,749
Can't believe the bridge
that you guys built!
386
00:15:17,751 --> 00:15:19,682
That is crazy!
387
00:15:19,684 --> 00:15:22,019
¶¶
388
00:15:22,021 --> 00:15:25,653
This bridge is made up
of one natural boulder
389
00:15:25,655 --> 00:15:28,957
that actually weighs
9,500 pounds.
390
00:15:28,959 --> 00:15:30,361
You guys did a great job.
391
00:15:30,363 --> 00:15:35,032
It looks exactly like our
swimming hole down at the river.
392
00:15:35,034 --> 00:15:38,136
LUCAS: Let's not forget
that epic sunken fire pit.
393
00:15:38,138 --> 00:15:40,602
It's a great place
to cook up some s'mores,
394
00:15:40,604 --> 00:15:41,902
and it's at the perfect level
395
00:15:41,904 --> 00:15:43,740
to look right over
the infinity edge
396
00:15:43,742 --> 00:15:46,844
to the gorgeous views
of the lake and valley.
397
00:15:46,846 --> 00:15:48,511
WOMAN: And I think it'll be
a great place to sit
398
00:15:48,513 --> 00:15:50,211
and have a glass of wine
at night...
399
00:15:50,213 --> 00:15:54,919
let the kids swim, look
at the view, and just relax.
400
00:15:54,921 --> 00:15:56,952
-I like the cave.
-You know what?
401
00:15:56,954 --> 00:15:59,056
That cave is 8 feet wide,
402
00:15:59,058 --> 00:16:01,589
and the water underneath it
is 8 feet deep,
403
00:16:01,591 --> 00:16:03,660
so you can actually
jump off that
404
00:16:03,662 --> 00:16:05,294
into the water,
405
00:16:05,296 --> 00:16:08,931
and the grotto is actually
finished with real flagstone.
406
00:16:08,933 --> 00:16:10,598
We wanted to carry
this natural theme
407
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,168
throughout the entire pool.
408
00:16:12,170 --> 00:16:15,606
MAN: It looks like
it belongs here.
409
00:16:15,608 --> 00:16:18,073
CHILD: I can't believe
this is really our pool.
410
00:16:18,075 --> 00:16:20,310
LUCAS:
This spa was planned perfectly.
411
00:16:20,312 --> 00:16:22,210
It's raised above the pool
and angled
412
00:16:22,212 --> 00:16:25,214
so you have the perfect vantage
point to enjoy that view.
413
00:16:25,216 --> 00:16:27,284
It's beautiful. I like
how you did the edge, too.
414
00:16:27,286 --> 00:16:30,218
You can sit on the top,
put your feet in. Looks great.
415
00:16:30,220 --> 00:16:32,689
MAN: The infinity edge, too.
That's phenomenal.
416
00:16:32,691 --> 00:16:34,822
How big is that
infinity edge?
417
00:16:34,824 --> 00:16:36,326
40 feet long.
418
00:16:36,328 --> 00:16:39,260
It's actually the longest one
that we've ever built.
419
00:16:39,262 --> 00:16:42,064
You guys did a great job.
Time for a pool party!
420
00:16:42,066 --> 00:16:45,034
Party at
the Leasure log cabin!
421
00:16:45,036 --> 00:16:47,839

-Yeah!

00:16:51,207 --> 00:16:52,643
MAN:
It's a game-changer,
424
00:16:52,645 --> 00:16:56,213
living in California, where
the summers are 100 degrees.
425
00:16:56,215 --> 00:16:57,513
WOMAN: Go in the cave!
426
00:16:57,515 --> 00:16:59,280
It'll change
our day-to-day life
427
00:16:59,282 --> 00:17:02,551
because the kids will always
be outside in the pool,
428
00:17:02,553 --> 00:17:04,788
and we'll have some
peace and quiet.
429
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:07,455
It's awesome.
We can't believe it.
430
00:17:07,457 --> 00:17:08,859
[ Indistinct shouting ]
431
00:17:08,861 --> 00:17:11,226
-Look at the view.
-I know. It's perfect.
432
00:17:11,228 --> 00:17:14,763
It's miles above, you know,
what we expected.
433
00:17:14,765 --> 00:17:18,201
It's beautiful. It sparkles
when the sun hits it.
434
00:17:18,203 --> 00:17:22,405
And I really couldn't ask
for a better backyard and pool.
435
00:17:22,407 --> 00:17:28,075
¶¶
436
00:17:28,077 --> 00:17:29,679
LUCAS:
In Franklin, Tennessee,
437
00:17:29,681 --> 00:17:31,613
this run-of-the-mill backyard
is about to get
438
00:17:31,615 --> 00:17:35,584
a very splashy upgrade.
439
00:17:35,586 --> 00:17:37,088
MAN:
Once the pool is built,
440
00:17:37,090 --> 00:17:40,754
I'd say 95% of our party
is going to be outside.
441
00:17:40,756 --> 00:17:42,925
We're so ready for the pool,
right, guys? [ Laughs ]
442
00:17:42,927 --> 00:17:44,925
I'm ready to swim in it!
443
00:17:44,927 --> 00:17:47,863
LUCAS: This pool offers way
more than just a place to swim.
444
00:17:47,865 --> 00:17:49,800
It's loaded with
family friendly features
445
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:51,633
for the Rowlands.
446
00:17:51,635 --> 00:17:54,037
The elevation of the backyard
is steep,
447
00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:55,871
and there is no better way
to utilize it
448
00:17:55,873 --> 00:17:57,608
than building
a massive waterfall
449
00:17:57,610 --> 00:18:00,475
that spans the entire
backside of the pool.
450
00:18:00,477 --> 00:18:03,079
On the other side will be
a complete outdoor kitchen
451
00:18:03,081 --> 00:18:05,883
with vanishing-edge walls
on both sides.
452
00:18:05,885 --> 00:18:08,483
¶¶
453
00:18:08,485 --> 00:18:10,454
The tanning ledge
is the perfect size
454
00:18:10,456 --> 00:18:13,758
for a couple of lounge chairs
and includes three bubblers.
455
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,291
It will also be a great place
456
00:18:15,293 --> 00:18:17,895
for their young children
to play.
457
00:18:17,897 --> 00:18:19,829
The back corner
will feature a pergola
458
00:18:19,831 --> 00:18:22,599
with a built-in stone fire pit.
459
00:18:22,601 --> 00:18:26,670
And to crown this pool
is a huge spa and spillway.
460
00:18:26,672 --> 00:18:29,137
This pool will be
the ultimate entertaining area
461
00:18:29,139 --> 00:18:30,308
for the Rowlands.
462
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:33,308
And with their approval,
the build gets under way.
463
00:18:33,310 --> 00:18:36,612
¶¶
464
00:18:36,614 --> 00:18:38,749
The transformation
of this steep backyard
465
00:18:38,751 --> 00:18:40,249
is progressing quickly.
466
00:18:40,251 --> 00:18:42,182
The pool, spa, and tanning shelf
467
00:18:42,184 --> 00:18:44,153
have been formed
without a hitch.
468
00:18:44,155 --> 00:18:46,420
But just when you think
you're ahead of schedule,
469
00:18:46,422 --> 00:18:48,524
the work slides to a halt
470
00:18:48,526 --> 00:18:51,628
when the family decides
to add a 37-foot slide
471
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:54,428
that comes in about 35 pieces.
472
00:18:54,430 --> 00:18:55,932
MAN: I think what we're
going to do is start
473
00:18:55,934 --> 00:18:58,099
with the entry part
right there...
474
00:18:58,101 --> 00:19:00,503
Build it back.
...and work our way
up the hill.
475
00:19:00,505 --> 00:19:02,940
LUCAS: Building a slide
is like rockwork.
476
00:19:02,942 --> 00:19:04,774
You have to get
the first piece set right,
477
00:19:04,776 --> 00:19:06,907
or the whole thing will be off.
478
00:19:06,909 --> 00:19:09,111
Luckily, these guys
make quick work of it,
479
00:19:09,113 --> 00:19:11,748
and now we have
one fun-looking slide.
480
00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:13,082
All right. Looks good.
481
00:19:13,084 --> 00:19:16,286
You just made some little kids
very, very happy.
482
00:19:16,288 --> 00:19:17,886
-I hope so.
-They're going to love it.
483
00:19:17,888 --> 00:19:19,457
LUCAS:
With the addition of the slide,
484
00:19:19,459 --> 00:19:22,257
the right side of the waterfall
is looking off balance.
485
00:19:22,259 --> 00:19:25,494
The solution? A third spillway
flanking the slide
486
00:19:25,496 --> 00:19:27,698
that will improve the view
and sound quality
487
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:30,031
for anyone sitting in the spa.
488
00:19:30,033 --> 00:19:32,836
With the slide creating
a domino effect of changes,
489
00:19:32,838 --> 00:19:35,706
the Rowland family stops by
to check out the progress.
490
00:19:35,708 --> 00:19:37,773
Here it comes.
491
00:19:37,775 --> 00:19:40,544
-How cool is that?
-Yay!
492
00:19:40,546 --> 00:19:43,610
Keep in mind, that's like 10%
of what it's going to be.
493
00:19:43,612 --> 00:19:45,048
I love that.
494
00:19:45,050 --> 00:19:47,715
LUCAS: With the family's
seal of approval,
495
00:19:47,717 --> 00:19:50,985
it's down to the details
of this oasis.
496
00:19:50,987 --> 00:19:54,156
Barring any more changes,
this pool will soon be ready
497
00:19:54,158 --> 00:19:56,927
for one fantastic reveal.

is finally finished,

and this backyard beauty,
complete with the slide,
501
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:08,235

-Yeah.
-This looks amazing!
509
00:20:25,020 --> 00:20:27,422
LUCAS: This backyard
went from a blank slate

00:20:27,424 --> 00:20:29,527
to an ultimate paradise.
511
00:20:29,529 --> 00:20:33,227
And my favorite part --
the rockwork, of course.
512
00:20:33,229 --> 00:20:36,331
This is a complete
transformation!
513
00:20:36,333 --> 00:20:39,168

00:27:28,411 --> 00:27:29,847
We got this
plumbed in, too, now.
684
00:27:29,849 --> 00:27:32,413
So that's going to be a lot of
water shooting out of that pipe.
685
00:27:32,415 --> 00:27:35,084
Oh, man! This is great!
I can't believe this!
686
00:27:35,086 --> 00:27:36,684
This is what I wanted!
687
00:27:36,686 --> 00:27:39,088
I can't believe he's
that excited about plumbing.
688
00:27:39,090 --> 00:27:42,425
I can't believe it!
I can't believe it!
689
00:27:42,427 --> 00:27:44,592
...and you're getting more
excited about the swim jet.
690
00:27:44,594 --> 00:27:46,596
I'm excited about this!
I'm ready to swim!
691
00:27:46,598 --> 00:27:48,963
-Oh, man.
-Oh, man! This is something!
692
00:27:48,965 --> 00:27:53,434
This is a theme of my pool
right here, my therapy pool.
693
00:27:53,436 --> 00:27:56,871
Hey, Crash, old man!
Henry loves your swim jet!
694
00:27:56,873 --> 00:27:58,542
All right!
[ Laughter ]
695
00:27:58,544 --> 00:28:00,042
That's it.
Y'all go home, take a nap.
696
00:28:00,044 --> 00:28:02,142
-Glad you like it, Henry.
-I love it, man.
697
00:28:02,144 --> 00:28:04,046
Keep up the good work.
-Thank you.
698
00:28:04,048 --> 00:28:06,950
Henry doesn't think anybody
can build the backyard dream
699
00:28:06,952 --> 00:28:08,283
he's always been wanting,
700
00:28:08,285 --> 00:28:10,250
but it's our job
to change his mind
701
00:28:10,252 --> 00:28:13,121
and show him that
we can really rock his world.
702
00:28:13,123 --> 00:28:15,292
All right, Crash, I want to
get you to help me strap this.
703
00:28:15,294 --> 00:28:16,958
CHRIS: We're getting ready to
put the lid on the grotto.
704
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,996
I mean, this is like the
crowning jewel of our waterfall.
705
00:28:19,998 --> 00:28:21,896
This thing is big.
706
00:28:21,898 --> 00:28:25,333
This rock weighs
about 5,000 pounds.
707
00:28:25,335 --> 00:28:27,037
One grotto comin' up!
708
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:29,637
This is
the most exciting part!
709
00:28:29,639 --> 00:28:33,541
-Just stay out from under it.
-Little more.
710
00:28:33,543 --> 00:28:36,045
All right, well,
we got to get mud under it
711
00:28:36,047 --> 00:28:39,145
and come in a little bit more.
712
00:28:39,147 --> 00:28:41,649
Bring her down. Okay.
713
00:28:41,651 --> 00:28:45,954
I mean, it looks awesome.
Look at that. Perfectly level.
714
00:28:45,956 --> 00:28:48,824
LUCAS: Henry wants his backyard
to make him go, "Wow!"
715
00:28:48,826 --> 00:28:50,958
So why stop
at just one waterfall grotto?
716
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,928
I see that we actually have
quite a few large stones left,
717
00:28:54,930 --> 00:28:57,732
so it'll enable us
to give Henry his wow factor.
718
00:28:57,734 --> 00:29:00,270
Sometimes I look over,
see a rock, and I know,
719
00:29:00,272 --> 00:29:03,037
you know, what its destiny
was supposed to be,
720
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:06,407
and I'm like, "You know what?
You're gonna be another grotto."
721
00:29:06,409 --> 00:29:08,578
¶¶
722
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:09,778
Swing it over!
723
00:29:09,780 --> 00:29:11,945
All right, Crash.
Let's get her in!
724
00:29:11,947 --> 00:29:13,949
¶¶
725
00:29:13,951 --> 00:29:18,053
We finished the second
grotto idea in record time.
726
00:29:18,055 --> 00:29:21,290
MAN: I'm gonna be connecting
the two pools with the stream
727
00:29:21,292 --> 00:29:22,824
and a bridge going over it.
728
00:29:22,826 --> 00:29:25,061
LUCAS: With the river bed
almost complete,
729
00:29:25,063 --> 00:29:28,128
2,400 square feet of
travertine decking are laid,
730
00:29:28,130 --> 00:29:31,132
giving the Taylors an abundance
of entertaining space.
731
00:29:31,134 --> 00:29:33,769
Really grown in there.
732
00:29:33,771 --> 00:29:35,803
We're also putting in
the landscaping,
733
00:29:35,805 --> 00:29:38,173
and I love that part because
it really starts softening
734
00:29:38,175 --> 00:29:40,540
and making everything feel
a lot more natural.
735
00:29:40,542 --> 00:29:42,411
I mean,
the rockwork is beautiful,
736
00:29:42,413 --> 00:29:43,844
but the plants
really set it off.
737
00:29:43,846 --> 00:29:45,482
MAN: One of the last things
we gotta do
738
00:29:45,484 --> 00:29:47,115
is get the pool finish in there.
739
00:29:47,117 --> 00:29:50,286
The Taylors have a dark-blue
pebble finish on their pool.
740
00:29:50,288 --> 00:29:52,552
All right.
Let's fill this thing.
741
00:29:52,554 --> 00:29:55,190
¶¶
742
00:29:55,192 --> 00:29:58,561
The Taylors have been
waiting 10 years for this.
743
00:29:58,563 --> 00:30:01,565
We gotta make sure
that everything is exactly
744
00:30:01,567 --> 00:30:03,365
the way they want it.
745
00:30:03,367 --> 00:30:05,802
We're powerwashing,
planting plants,
746
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:09,035
and just doing whatever it needs
to be done to make it perfect
747
00:30:09,037 --> 00:30:10,873
for the Taylors
so that they're happy
748
00:30:10,875 --> 00:30:14,477
that they waited 10 years
to get their backyard oasis.
749
00:30:14,479 --> 00:30:16,444
One, two, three.
750
00:30:16,446 --> 00:30:17,781
Holy...
751
00:30:20,784 --> 00:30:22,349
LUCAS: The Taylors have waited
a decade for their dream pool,
752
00:30:22,351 --> 00:30:23,853
and today's the day.
753
00:30:23,855 --> 00:30:25,386
I can't wait for them
to see it.
754
00:30:25,388 --> 00:30:27,724
We are so excited!
We are so excited! Ohh!
755
00:30:27,726 --> 00:30:29,524
It's been 10 years
in the making.
756
00:30:29,526 --> 00:30:31,795
You guys want
to follow me out back?
757
00:30:31,797 --> 00:30:33,895
-I can't wait.
-Enough talking, right?
758
00:30:33,897 --> 00:30:36,165
Let's go!
759
00:30:36,167 --> 00:30:38,799
Guys, get together.
Keep looking down.
760
00:30:38,801 --> 00:30:41,036
The emotion
is just overwhelming.
761
00:30:41,038 --> 00:30:43,203
Let's get on with this thing
before I fight.
762
00:30:43,205 --> 00:30:44,407
[ Laughter ]
763
00:30:44,409 --> 00:30:45,940
All right. On the count
of three, you guys,
764
00:30:45,942 --> 00:30:50,611
I want you to look up.
Here we are.
765
00:30:50,613 --> 00:30:52,082
Holy...
766
00:30:52,084 --> 00:30:55,548
¶¶
767
00:30:55,550 --> 00:30:56,652
Wow!
768
00:30:56,654 --> 00:30:59,052
I want to cry!
It's beautiful!
769
00:30:59,054 --> 00:31:02,623
Oh, my goo--
[ Laughs ]
770
00:31:02,625 --> 00:31:04,894
To think what we had.
[ Laughs ]
771
00:31:04,896 --> 00:31:07,127
Oh, man!
772
00:31:07,129 --> 00:31:08,731
Oh, my goodness!
773
00:31:08,733 --> 00:31:10,531
This is unbelievable.
774
00:31:10,533 --> 00:31:13,902
Gee whiz. Got tears coming out
my eyes. Stop that! Stop that!
775
00:31:13,904 --> 00:31:15,536
LUCAS: With all the palms,
everything is all about
776
00:31:15,538 --> 00:31:17,173
embracing the nature,
777
00:31:17,175 --> 00:31:19,806
framing the view of
that beautiful preserve
778
00:31:19,808 --> 00:31:21,610
You guys moved here
to be at.
779
00:31:21,612 --> 00:31:26,181
Oh, man. Wow!
This is it! A waterfall.
780
00:31:26,183 --> 00:31:29,152
That is just unbelievable.
781
00:31:29,154 --> 00:31:31,452
I didn't expect it
to be this great.
782
00:31:31,454 --> 00:31:33,323
So I heard you say "wow"
four times.
783
00:31:33,325 --> 00:31:35,723
Does that mean I brought you
your wow factor?
784
00:31:35,725 --> 00:31:38,527
Oh, you are
three-quarters there.
785
00:31:38,529 --> 00:31:39,793
[ Laughs ]
786
00:31:39,795 --> 00:31:40,998
You're three-quarters there.
787
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,531
Oh, you won't even
give it to me!
788
00:31:42,533 --> 00:31:43,931
He still won't
give it to me!
789
00:31:43,933 --> 00:31:45,368
Well, I want to
get you to 100%,
790
00:31:45,370 --> 00:31:46,902
so let me give you
the 100% tour.
791
00:31:46,904 --> 00:31:48,368
By the time
we're done with it,
792
00:31:48,370 --> 00:31:50,239
I'm pretty sure you'll
be right there with me.
793
00:31:50,241 --> 00:31:52,406
Wanted Valerie's to be able
to walk down in here
794
00:31:52,408 --> 00:31:54,143
and not have it be too deep,
795
00:31:54,145 --> 00:31:56,776
so I left a little walking ledge
all the way around.
796
00:31:56,778 --> 00:31:58,481
And then we left
a deep spot
797
00:31:58,483 --> 00:32:00,247
so you can
jump off the grotto
798
00:32:00,249 --> 00:32:01,951
into that deep
little swimming hole.
799
00:32:01,953 --> 00:32:04,185
All right. All right.
You're 90% there.
800
00:32:04,187 --> 00:32:06,222
You're not 100% yet, but --
801
00:32:06,224 --> 00:32:07,389
All right.
Well, we'll keep walking.
802
00:32:07,391 --> 00:32:10,926
I have a feeling
I'll get there.
803
00:32:10,928 --> 00:32:12,659
Check out your bridge.
804
00:32:12,661 --> 00:32:15,197
I mean, doesn't that just
move like a natural stream?
805
00:32:15,199 --> 00:32:17,530
It does.
The water's rippling
over those rocks.
806
00:32:17,532 --> 00:32:20,701
You can actually sit down here
and put your foot in the water.
807
00:32:20,703 --> 00:32:22,472
It's just unbelievable.
808
00:32:22,474 --> 00:32:24,638
Henry, I know I'm not
quite at 100% yet,
809
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,443
but I still have more
to show you, so follow me.
810
00:32:27,445 --> 00:32:29,809
Gave you an 80-inch TV.
811
00:32:29,811 --> 00:32:32,147
You can probably be
way back there in the grotto
812
00:32:32,149 --> 00:32:33,747
and see that.
813
00:32:33,749 --> 00:32:35,151
Thank you. Thank you.
I love it.
814
00:32:35,153 --> 00:32:36,851
If you think that's
big and awesome,
815
00:32:36,853 --> 00:32:38,621
I saved the best for last.
816
00:32:38,623 --> 00:32:39,888
Check it out, man.
817
00:32:39,890 --> 00:32:42,792
Oh, Lucas. Show me.
Please show me.
818
00:32:42,794 --> 00:32:45,926
Show me my swim jet!
Show me my swim jet!
819
00:32:45,928 --> 00:32:47,830
Yeah.
You can swim forever.
820
00:32:47,832 --> 00:32:50,330
Plus, instead, set of five
therapy jets, I gave you eight.
821
00:32:50,332 --> 00:32:52,300
So you got room
for eight people
822
00:32:52,302 --> 00:32:54,671
to hang out there
getting massaged.
823
00:32:54,673 --> 00:32:56,504
And the cool thing is,
when you're in there,
824
00:32:56,506 --> 00:32:58,909
you can turn it on and off
with the air switch right here.
825
00:32:58,911 --> 00:33:01,242
Oh, this is beautiful!
826
00:33:01,244 --> 00:33:05,979
By golly, the swim jet.
That took it over the top.
827
00:33:05,981 --> 00:33:08,917
Man, you made it.
You made it.
828
00:33:08,919 --> 00:33:10,117
Did we hit 100 yet?
829
00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:12,154
You got 120%.
830
00:33:12,156 --> 00:33:15,525
Yeah! Wow! That last one was a
lot of percentage right there.
831
00:33:15,527 --> 00:33:19,262
We are gonna spend countless
hours out here, really.
832
00:33:19,264 --> 00:33:20,862
I never thought
this day would happen.
833
00:33:20,864 --> 00:33:22,329
I really didn't.
834
00:33:22,331 --> 00:33:24,533
...really hard for this.
835
00:33:24,535 --> 00:33:27,671
Yeah. I am.
This is a lot.
836
00:33:27,673 --> 00:33:28,937
It's beautiful.
837
00:33:28,939 --> 00:33:30,737
Party time, guys!
838
00:33:30,739 --> 00:33:33,341
This is a celebration day
for us.
839
00:33:33,343 --> 00:33:36,512
This is what we've been dreaming
of doing for a long time.
840
00:33:36,514 --> 00:33:38,745
And now this day
is finally here.
841
00:33:38,747 --> 00:33:41,150
I never thought
this day would happen.
842
00:33:41,152 --> 00:33:43,483
GIRL: Go, go, go, go!
843
00:33:43,485 --> 00:33:45,720
Whoa!
844
00:33:45,722 --> 00:33:49,791
LUCAS: To see somebody so happy,
what bigger reward is there?
845
00:33:49,793 --> 00:33:52,328
So, let's watch one more
family's backyard dream
846
00:33:52,330 --> 00:33:53,328
come to life.
847
00:33:53,330 --> 00:33:55,128
In New Braunfels, Texas,
848
00:33:55,130 --> 00:33:58,166
Amy and Mike Ohm are ready
to plan some pool parties.
849
00:33:58,168 --> 00:33:59,499
MIKE:
We're empty-nesters now,
850
00:33:59,501 --> 00:34:01,437
and we thought it'd be
a great time to build a pool.
851
00:34:01,439 --> 00:34:03,870
AMY: So we want a pool
that's not really going to be
852
00:34:03,872 --> 00:34:05,674
about a bunch
of small children.
853
00:34:05,676 --> 00:34:08,378
This pool is going to be
a relaxing opportunity,
854
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:10,778
lots of lounging
and cocktails.
855
00:34:10,780 --> 00:34:13,382
So we want a
no-splash-zone pool.
856
00:34:13,384 --> 00:34:16,182
Can't get water in your
cocktails if people jump in.
857
00:34:16,184 --> 00:34:18,786
Our yard's very Hill Country.
It's very rustic.
858
00:34:18,788 --> 00:34:21,057
And we want it to look like
it's always been there,
859
00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:23,624
so it needs to look like
a pond or a lagoon.
860
00:34:23,626 --> 00:34:24,895
It'd be great
to be able to use
861
00:34:24,897 --> 00:34:26,595
some of the natural rock
that's already here
862
00:34:26,597 --> 00:34:29,665
so it just blends in
that much better.
863
00:34:29,667 --> 00:34:32,432
LUCAS: Instead of tile and
coping, the entire perimeter
864
00:34:32,434 --> 00:34:34,803
will feature natural boulders
and smaller rocks
865
00:34:34,805 --> 00:34:37,373
to give the Ohms
their natural-pond feel.
866
00:34:37,375 --> 00:34:39,840
This perfect,
no-splash cocktail pool
867
00:34:39,842 --> 00:34:42,911
will feature depths
ranging from three to five feet
868
00:34:42,913 --> 00:34:45,648
and a huge
350-square-foot sun shelf
869
00:34:45,650 --> 00:34:47,815
for optimal relaxation.
870
00:34:47,817 --> 00:34:51,052
A large waterfall will span
the back of the pool
871
00:34:51,054 --> 00:34:54,490
with three different spillways
seen from all angles.
872
00:34:54,492 --> 00:34:57,056
And outside the pool
is a rainbow-pebble deck
873
00:34:57,058 --> 00:34:59,327
that offers a great place
to hang out.
874
00:34:59,329 --> 00:35:01,527
And since
this is a cocktail pool,
875
00:35:01,529 --> 00:35:03,365
it needs to come alive at night.
876
00:35:03,367 --> 00:35:06,502
Three multicolored LED lights
ought to do the trick.
877
00:35:06,504 --> 00:35:09,669
¶¶
878
00:35:09,671 --> 00:35:11,740
They say things
are bigger in Texas,
879
00:35:11,742 --> 00:35:17,210
and so is the equipment required
to dig this massive party pool.
880
00:35:17,212 --> 00:35:19,214
These guys
are just starting to dig
881
00:35:19,216 --> 00:35:21,781
when they hit solid limestone.
882
00:35:21,783 --> 00:35:23,685
The good news is this stone
883
00:35:23,687 --> 00:35:25,885
matches what's already
on the property,
884
00:35:25,887 --> 00:35:30,360
so it's basically like finding
free building materials.
885
00:35:30,362 --> 00:35:32,427
Now that the rebar
and plumbing are in place,
886
00:35:32,429 --> 00:35:34,497
it's time to shoot some pool.
887
00:35:34,499 --> 00:35:39,435
¶¶
888
00:35:39,437 --> 00:35:41,268
Dozens of boulders
are being placed
889
00:35:41,270 --> 00:35:44,406
to create the perimeter
of this pond paradise.
890
00:35:44,408 --> 00:35:47,810
¶¶
891
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,143
Time to see
what homeowner Mike thinks.
892
00:35:50,145 --> 00:35:52,547
MIKE: Start with
the most important part.
893
00:35:52,549 --> 00:35:54,714
We love the waterfall.
It's dynamite.
894
00:35:54,716 --> 00:35:56,851
This section over here,
it may be a little tall,
895
00:35:56,853 --> 00:35:59,455
so we want to kind of
hold off on that for now.
896
00:35:59,457 --> 00:36:01,555
So, then, looking
at the Baja shelf,
897
00:36:01,557 --> 00:36:02,922
we have this
main boulder here,
898
00:36:02,924 --> 00:36:04,759
which is really the focal point,
right, of the pool.
899
00:36:04,761 --> 00:36:06,926
-Big-time focal point.
-People are gonna sit on it.
900
00:36:06,928 --> 00:36:09,163
You're gonna see it when
you walk out from the house.
901
00:36:09,165 --> 00:36:10,863
So it's a pretty nice rock,
902
00:36:10,865 --> 00:36:13,001
but I think we're gonna use it
maybe somewhere else,
903
00:36:13,003 --> 00:36:14,801
and we want to find something
a little more smooth maybe
904
00:36:14,803 --> 00:36:17,738
and just a perfect boulder
for that area.
905
00:36:17,740 --> 00:36:20,109
LUCAS: With Mike's approval
on most of the boulders,
906
00:36:20,111 --> 00:36:21,576
the waterfall and pool border
907
00:36:21,578 --> 00:36:24,913
can start to be mortared
into their permanent spots.
908
00:36:24,915 --> 00:36:27,650
It's like working
one big complicated puzzle,
909
00:36:27,652 --> 00:36:30,684
except when the puzzle's done,
it's never coming apart.
910
00:36:33,824 --> 00:36:35,855
LUCAS: Rockwork isn't finished
at the Ohms' pond paradise.
911
00:36:35,857 --> 00:36:39,193
There's one final piece of the
rock puzzle left to complete --
912
00:36:39,195 --> 00:36:43,463
the focal point of the pool,
the sun-shelf boulders.
913
00:36:43,465 --> 00:36:46,134
One boulder will be
completely submerged.
914
00:36:46,136 --> 00:36:48,167
The other
is partially submerged,
915
00:36:48,169 --> 00:36:51,571
offering a unique place
to sit and stay dry.
916
00:36:51,573 --> 00:36:54,809
And homeowner Mike is here to
ensure the perfect placement.
917
00:36:54,811 --> 00:36:59,846
¶¶
918
00:36:59,848 --> 00:37:02,950
All right.
Watch this pipe here.
919
00:37:02,952 --> 00:37:04,888
Mike, what do you think
about this right here?
920
00:37:04,890 --> 00:37:06,754
-Looks good. Yeah.
-Okay.
921
00:37:06,756 --> 00:37:09,125
LUCAS: Finding the perfect rock
is tricky,
922
00:37:09,127 --> 00:37:10,492
so it can be nerve-racking
923
00:37:10,494 --> 00:37:13,896
until it's safely
in its final placement.
924
00:37:13,898 --> 00:37:16,463
-I'm kind of liking that.
-It makes an easy transition
925
00:37:16,465 --> 00:37:18,067
from here down to here, too.
926
00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:20,433
LUCAS: The placement
of those rocks is spot-on.
927
00:37:20,435 --> 00:37:23,038
It's not only
the perfect seat on a hot day,
928
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,508
but it's a unique
natural handrail when entering
929
00:37:25,510 --> 00:37:26,842
and exiting the pool.
930
00:37:26,844 --> 00:37:29,042
You first. You get to use them
first getting out of the pool.
931
00:37:29,044 --> 00:37:31,312
[ Laughter ]
932
00:37:31,314 --> 00:37:32,879
LUCAS:
With the boulders in place,
933
00:37:32,881 --> 00:37:35,750
the rainbow-pebble pool deck
that can finally be laid.
934
00:37:35,752 --> 00:37:38,387
These guys have to spread
multicolored pebbles by hand
935
00:37:38,389 --> 00:37:41,725
over the entire surface.
936
00:37:41,727 --> 00:37:47,162
The pebbles are pressed into the
concrete and given time to set.
937
00:37:47,164 --> 00:37:50,099
Brush off the surface
and wash the sand away,
938
00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:52,933
leaving a beautiful
textured rainbow-pebble deck
939
00:37:52,935 --> 00:37:58,374
that ties perfectly into the
natural-pond look of the pool.
940
00:37:58,376 --> 00:38:01,141
The final step in this
stunning super pond --
941
00:38:01,143 --> 00:38:03,512
a nice blue-pebble finish.
942
00:38:03,514 --> 00:38:05,678
¶¶
943
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,549
Anything worth doing
is worth overdoing.
944
00:38:09,551 --> 00:38:12,487
-Okay.
-I'm-a pull it to my side.
945
00:38:12,489 --> 00:38:15,291
LUCAS: So why not add
a triple floating fire feature
946
00:38:15,293 --> 00:38:17,191
right in the middle of the pool?
947
00:38:17,193 --> 00:38:19,028
This will really light things up
at night.
948
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:22,028
With the final touches done,
it's time to show Amy and Mike
949
00:38:22,030 --> 00:38:23,699
their new party pond.
950
00:38:23,701 --> 00:38:25,299
All right.
So what do you guys think?
951
00:38:25,301 --> 00:38:28,703
Wow! Wow!
You just nailed it!
952
00:38:28,705 --> 00:38:30,370
-Yeah.
-This is amazing.
953
00:38:30,372 --> 00:38:32,874
LUCAS: This pool looks like
it's been here for years.
954
00:38:32,876 --> 00:38:34,340
MIKE:
The stonework's unbelievable.
955
00:38:34,342 --> 00:38:37,145
LUCAS: It's the perfect
combination of natural elements
956
00:38:37,147 --> 00:38:39,549
combined to create a party vibe.
957
00:38:39,551 --> 00:38:41,549
AMY: And y'all used lots of
different types of stones,
958
00:38:41,551 --> 00:38:43,153
all different shapes
and sizes and colors,
959
00:38:43,155 --> 00:38:44,519
which really makes it
interesting.
960
00:38:44,521 --> 00:38:46,419
-It's exactly what we wanted.
-Awesome.
961
00:38:46,421 --> 00:38:48,957
¶¶
962
00:38:48,959 --> 00:38:51,123
That Baja shelf
is unbelievable.
Huge.
963
00:38:51,125 --> 00:38:52,594
AMY: Look at all
the areas to sit.
964
00:38:52,596 --> 00:38:54,828
And where you walk in,
it's got the stones.
965
00:38:54,830 --> 00:38:56,065
It looks like a creek.
966
00:38:56,067 --> 00:38:57,932
And then, geez,
all the landscaping.
967
00:38:57,934 --> 00:39:00,036
MAN: The rainbow-pebble decking
behind all these boulders
968
00:39:00,038 --> 00:39:01,969
was just about the perfect
amount of patio space.
969
00:39:01,971 --> 00:39:03,706
It's the right amount.
It looks really nice.
970
00:39:03,708 --> 00:39:05,840
'Cause it blends in really well
with the landscape,
971
00:39:05,842 --> 00:39:07,606
so it keeps that natural
look and feel.
972
00:39:07,608 --> 00:39:09,177
It's definitely dreamy.
973
00:39:09,179 --> 00:39:11,044
MIKE: We don't have
young kids anymore,
974
00:39:11,046 --> 00:39:13,015
so we kind of wanted to have
more of a pool to relax in
975
00:39:13,017 --> 00:39:14,481
and just kind of
be able to chill out.
976
00:39:14,483 --> 00:39:16,419
Great place to hang out
and stay cool
977
00:39:16,421 --> 00:39:17,685
in this hot Texas heat.
978
00:39:17,687 --> 00:39:19,585
And just even sitting
by the pool is nice, right?
979
00:39:19,587 --> 00:39:20,723
Just the sound is nice.
980
00:39:20,725 --> 00:39:22,490
LUCAS:
That natural-water sound
981
00:39:22,492 --> 00:39:24,894
really gets you
into that relaxation mind-set.
982
00:39:24,896 --> 00:39:27,160
-I think it's calling my name.
-Yeah. Let's go.
983
00:39:27,162 --> 00:39:29,064
LUCAS:
This pool is the perfect place
984
00:39:29,066 --> 00:39:30,264
for Amy and Mike to kick back
985
00:39:30,266 --> 00:39:31,964
and relax
with their friends and family.
986
00:39:31,966 --> 00:39:33,902
MIKE: People just love
sitting around the pool.
987
00:39:33,904 --> 00:39:35,435
The dogs love
jumping on the rocks.
988
00:39:35,437 --> 00:39:37,006
They love climbing
on the waterfall.
989
00:39:37,008 --> 00:39:39,139
And it's great just to hang out.
People hang out all around
990
00:39:39,141 --> 00:39:40,777
'cause there's so many
different place to sit,
991
00:39:40,779 --> 00:39:42,377
and it works out great.
Just put your feet in.
992
00:39:42,379 --> 00:39:43,843
You don't even
have to go swimming.
993
00:39:43,845 --> 00:39:45,747
Casually hang out.
It's like sitting
around a pond, yeah.
994
00:39:45,749 --> 00:39:47,747
LUCAS: As good as this pool
looks during the day,
995
00:39:47,749 --> 00:39:49,018
you've got to see it at night.
996
00:39:49,020 --> 00:39:50,951
We definitely got a pool
with a wow factor.
997
00:39:50,953 --> 00:39:53,089
I'm amazed at how great
it turned out.
998
00:39:53,091 --> 00:39:55,422
And it's definitely a wow pool.
I love it.
999
00:39:55,424 --> 00:39:57,193
Yeah, the pool really does
look incredible.
1000
00:39:57,195 --> 00:39:59,893
LUCAS:
This is one party pond that
I'd love to have in my yard.
