Installed a new tub and shower and am left with this small area in 2 places. a screw in a small piece of drywall just crumbles the drywall to bits. what is the best way to fill these two areas in? BTW the black wire is my temp shower curtain rod! Thank you

How to fill in an area around a pool
Comments (1)One idea would be a gravity block (mortarless) retaining wall for that 3 foot drop. My short walls have lasted 8 years now and are still good.

Comments (24)Well, yeah, I suppose plants around the pool would be nice - but for now I'll stay with the rocks. So many of them - I'd have no idea what to do with them. Biggest mistake was letting a contractor expand the area so much. He put a stone border around it which looks nice and keeps the rocks from migrating into the lawn, but added much more work - like many projects do I suppose!...See More
