Custom Pools Built for LaPlace Backyards
LaPlace sits about ten feet up on the east bank, with the Mississippi on one side and Lake Pontchartrain's wetlands on the other. Which way a garden drains is the first question a pool here has to answer.
Designing a Pool Between the River and the Lake
Ten feet is comfortable ground by the standards of this region, but LaPlace sits on a band between two waters. Toward the river the ground is the firmer levee material; toward the lake it softens and wets.
So the design settles the direction of fall and the bearing before it settles anything else. With that done, ten feet gives more room to work with than most of the parishes closer to the coast.
TurnKey Pool Builders serves LaPlace and the surrounding Jefferson Parish area.
What Shapes a Custom Pool Design in LaPlace
- Which way the lot drains: River side or lake side changes the ground and the drainage, and it is established at the start.
- Levee ground toward the river: The firmer material the Mississippi left is on the river side, and it supports more.
- Softer ground toward the lake: Away from the river the ground wets and the water table rises, and the design answers that.
- Permits before excavation: Pool work in St. John the Baptist Parish needs the right approvals and a barrier meeting local requirements, settled before anything is dug.
Custom Pool Work in LaPlace
Custom Pool Design and Construction
Design starts with which way the lot drains between the river and the lake, then works outward to shape and finish.
Pool Renovations
Older LaPlace pools show wear on the river side and settlement toward the lake.
Pool Landscaping
Planting and grading are set to move water in the direction the lot actually falls.
Water Features and Lighting
Features and lighting run off the pool’s own circulation, with fittings chosen for year-round damp.
Maintenance and Repairs
Humidity from two directions means servicing follows the fittings as much as the hours.
