Elegant Poolside Party in Goochland

Goochland, VA

Project Synopsis

This project features a stunning 20x42' gunite pool with an automatic cover, expansive pool decking, and two cabanas from Hillbrook Collections. Both the pool coping and pool decking are Grano travertine from Marmiro Stone. Additionally, to control the slope and create a flat area, brick walls were built to wrap half of the space. To match the architecture of the historic home, handmade brick from Cushwa was used for these walls.

For our first cocktail, in honor of Fathers' Day, we have chosen a refreshing recipe for the bourbon-loving dads out there.
