Residential pool with water fall, Wood and concrete as a construction material for pool and deck and natural rock can also work. I like to get your comment about the design and what you think about it in general and this is just a preliminary design so is adjustable! Thanks.

A great blank canvas ! You could do allsorts. Build up the outside areas to make different height patios and sitting / eating areas? Build up the sides and have water features around the edges? Build on the limestone wall and make it look like a natural water feature? Have a 'hanging deck' area that slightly goes over the pool? I threw in the elephant water feature below for fun !

I worked in Australia building swimming pools, including some celeb clients. If you can, try to get hold of a copy of ‘poolside’ magazine from Australia. This is a consumer magazine and should give you lots of inspiration. Construction-wise we would normally pour a concrete ring beam around the pool deck that would anchor into the top of the pool sides with metal rebar dowels. Next the bullnose pavers would be overhung around the edge of the pool and then paved up to, before grouting. By the looks of it you’d be retrofitting this pool surround so could cause structural issues if the ground around the pool is not well compacted, and the ring beam moved, while being attached to the pool itself. With this in mind, you may want to look at something like compacted hardcore with a resin bonded gravel over the top. This will be non slip, can flex, if the ground moves, and by the time you’ve poured concrete and then paved it, would be cheaper and faster to install. Aesthetically, it may also be a good fit? Am not sure on compatibility for use around pools - perhaps seek reassurance from a U.K. provider first and then contract a reputable local provider. Decking is another option but slip resistance could be an issue on natural timber and the synthetic stuff fades and warps. Hope it goes well : )
