When the Brewster Road client said they wanted a pool in their back yard, it didn’t seem all that remarkable. Then we saw the site. They wanted their pool on a steep and inaccessible hill, covered with 8’-high brambles and thorns, with no possible access for larger equipment. I mapped the topography, laid out a terraced scheme that balanced cut and fill (no need to import fill or cart away excess earth) with a seventy-foot-long retaining wall, and figured a way to get it built. We used a 125’ boom pump-truck to deliver the swimming pool concrete over the house. Now the place serves as an open, watery oasis.
