Pools

Inside Spokane city limits, build it to at least 54 inches: the fence code calls for that height, though the City's handouts still say four feet, and gates need self-closing, self-locking hardware. Spokane Valley and unincorporated Spokane County use 48 inches, and both require gates that latch on their own and swing outward, away from the pool.

In the City of Spokane and Spokane Valley, not into the sanitary sewer: the City's pool permit calls for dechlorinated water drained on site, and Spokane Valley prohibits sewer discharge. Spokane County's conditions for draining to the ground or a storm drain include chlorine at 0.1 ppm or less, a neutral pH, no copper algaecides and a release slow enough to avoid erosion. Saltwater pools cannot drain to storm drains at all.

It depends on where you live and how deep it is. The City of Spokane requires no pool permit for pools under 24 inches deep; Spokane Valley requires one for any pool holding more than 24 inches of water, above-ground included; and Spokane County exempts prefabricated pools of 5,000 gallons or less, installed entirely above ground, from a building permit. Barrier rules can still apply to the deeper ones.

That is not a problem at all. Many of our clients choose to do their landscape project in phases. If we know in the beginning that you would like to phase out your project, we can work with you on the best way to split the design so that it fits your budget for this year, and then plan the second half for next year.

We would love to get you on our calendar for next year! The first step would be to contact our office so we can take you through the design process. Once that is completed and you've signed off on the design, we normally request a deposit to reserve your spot with us.

We are a general contractor, so typically we hire subcontractors for certain types of work, which in our case would include concrete curbing. If you have a larger project, we would be happy to talk to you about how we can help coordinate all the work that goes into a complete landscape design so that you don't have to worry about any of that.

Absolutely! Starting now can give you first pick on next year's calendar. If you're not ready to build yet we encourage getting a good design in place so that you can know what to expect. Please give us a call. We would be thrilled to walk you through ideas and concepts - we have lots of ideas!

Our main work takes place in Spokane and Kootenai counties. We also work in Bonner's County, ID. If you are in any of the neighboring counties and have a project that you are looking for help with, we would love to hear from you.
