Are you looking to transform your pool area into a stunning outdoor oasis? Join me as I continue my pool terrace expansion by building a beautiful stone terrace to complement my existing decking. This project is all about creating a uniform and professional look for the backyard.
In this walkthrough, I tackle the challenge of a sloping landscape at the front end of the pool. To ensure everything is level and matches the existing pool coping stones, I demonstrate how to install a sturdy retaining wall using concrete formwork blocks. You will see the entire process from digging the 60cm trench and pouring a concrete foundation to filling the blocks and preparing the gravel bed.
I also share my technique for securing the massive stone slabs. By gluing the outer stones and laying the inner ones on a bed of gravel, I achieved a perfectly level and durable finish that ties the whole backyard together. Stick around until the end to see the final reveal and hear about my upcoming plans for the garden kitchen, a new lighting concept, and a foldable sunshade!
Here’s what I cover in this video: ✅ Step-by-step process to build a professional stone terrace. ✅ Installing a stable retaining wall made of aerated concrete formwork blocks. ✅ Gluing stone slabs for added security and laying slabs on a gravel bed. ✅ Tips for achieving a uniform, level, and aligned design around your pool.
From digging the foundation to securing massive stone slabs, I share every detail of this project to help you create a flawless outdoor space. Whether you're planning your own terrace or looking for inspiration for outdoor upgrades like garden kitchens or lighting concepts, this video has you covered.
