In Pool Kings season 6 episode 10, entitled "Hillside Pool in Argyle, TX," the team is tasked with creating the ultimate backyard oasis for a family living on a hillside property in Argyle, Texas. The homeowners have a large backyard with a steep slope leading down to a small pond, and they are in need of a new pool that will fit seamlessly into the existing landscape and provide a place for their family to relax and entertain guests.
The episode begins with the team surveying the property and assessing the challenges of building a pool on a steep hillside. They decide to design a freeform pool with a natural rock waterfall and a built-in spa, as well as an adjoining deck area with a fire pit and plenty of seating for guests. The pool will be set into the hillside, with one end of the pool elevated to take advantage of the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
Next, the team begins the excavation process, which is complicated by the steep grade of the property. They use heavy equipment to carve out a space for the pool while also creating a retaining wall to hold back the earth. They also face challenges with the water supply, as they need to bring in a truckload of water to fill the pool due to the lack of a nearby water source.
Once the pool is excavated, the team begins the process of laying the foundation and installing the plumbing and electrical systems. They work closely with the homeowners to choose the perfect materials and finishes for the pool, including natural stone coping and a custom tile mosaic on the floor of the pool.
As the project progresses, the team encounters unexpected setbacks, including a surprise cold snap that threatens to delay the project. However, they soldier on, working long hours to make up lost time and ensure that the pool is completed on schedule.
Finally, after months of hard work, the pool and deck area are complete, and the homeowners are thrilled with the finished product. The pool blends seamlessly into the hillside, and the natural rock waterfall adds a touch of beauty and tranquility to the backyard. The deck area is perfect for entertaining guests, with plenty of seating and a cozy fire pit for cooler evenings.
In the end, the team has once again proved that they are the kings of pool construction, creating a beautiful and functional backyard oasis that the homeowners will enjoy for years to come.
