Bedrock Landscape Company - Trinidad


Bedrock Landscape Company of Greenville, NC installed a beautiful Trinidad Viking Pool over the summer. They documented the whole installation process with photos. How exciting!

This Trinidad was manufactured with our Ceramic Core making it the strongest fiberglass pool in the industry.

One of the neat things about our Trinidad design is that it is a one-piece pool and spa combo. There is no need for 2 installations. Just one and your done!

This Trinidad has our standard Viking Blue gel-coat finish and Caribbean Blue perimeter tile from our Martinique collection. There are 2 Viking Steams build into the perimeter of the pool to give the pool even more elegance.

The built-in spa has 10 jets for superb relaxation!

The new owners of this wonderful Trinidad fiberglass pool by Viking Pools can even enjoy their relaxing pool during the night with the PAL-2000 L.E.D. lighting from Fiberstars.

View all photos of the installation from a plain backyard, to digging the hole, to the finished product on Bedrock Landscaping Company's Facebook Page at http://clicky.me/6b6S
