# **Sharing Surveys and Photos**
### *Professional Pool Company — How to Send Your Survey and Backyard Photos*
To design an accurate pool layout and provide a reliable estimate, we need a copy of your **property survey** and a few **backyard photos**. These two items allow us to confirm setbacks, measure usable space, check elevation, and understand your yard’s layout.
This article explains exactly what to send and how to send it.

# ⭐ **1. Why We Need Your Property Survey**
Your survey shows:
* Property lines
* Dimensions
* Setbacks
* Easements
* Drainage swales
* Existing structures
* Screen enclosure outlines
* Driveways, patios, and utility areas
This information helps us determine:
✔ The maximum pool size that fits
✔ Proper placement and orientation
✔ Space for decking and walkways
✔ Equipment pad location
✔ Drainage planning
✔ County compliance before construction
A survey ensures your pool design is **accurate** and **buildable**.

# ⭐ **2. Acceptable Survey Formats**
You can send your survey in any of these formats:
* **PDF** (preferred)
* **Photo / Screenshot** of the survey
* **Scan** from a closing packet
* **Digital file** from your title company
* **HOA-issued survey copy**
If you’re unsure whether a document qualifies as a survey, send it anyway — we’ll confirm.

# ⭐ **3. How to Find Your Survey (If You Don’t Have It)**
Most homeowners can find their survey:
* In their closing documents
* Through the builder
* In HOA records
* Through a title company
* In online property appraiser portals (varies by county)
If you still can’t locate it, we can guide you on how to request a new one.

# ⭐ **4. Why We Ask for Backyard Photos**
Backyard photos help us understand:
* Access paths for equipment
* Existing patios or landscaping
* Fence placement
* Trees, slopes, or obstacles
* Sunlight and shading
* Real-life elevation differences
Photos give context that surveys alone cannot provide.

# ⭐ **5. What Photos to Send (5–6 Is Ideal)**
Please include:
### ✔ **1 photo facing straight out from the back door**
Shows the main view and usable depth.
### ✔ **1 photo from each back corner (left & right)**
Shows total width and layout.
### ✔ **1 photo of each side yard**
Important for equipment placement and access.
### ✔ **1 photo of any specific area you want designed**
Example: where you’d like the spa or sunshelf.
If your yard slopes, include a photo that shows the elevation change.

# ⭐ **6. How to Send Us Surveys & Photos**
You can send files through:
* **Email**
* **Text message**
* **Crisp chat attachment**
* **Website upload form** (if applicable)
We accept images, PDFs, and zipped files — whatever is easiest.

# ⭐ **7. Your Information Is Always Confidential**
We never share:
* Your address
* Survey
* Photos
* Personal details
Your files are used **only** to design your pool and confirm build requirements.

# ⭐ **8. What Happens After We Receive Your Files**
Once your survey and photos are received, our team:
1. Confirms setbacks
2. Reviews easements and usable space
3. Studies your yard’s shape and sun exposure
4. Evaluates access for excavation
5. Designs your pool directly onto your survey
