Shared walls and neighbors
In walled subdivisions, your pool barrier often includes walls you share.
This is an independent referral guide. It connects homeowners with independent providers and may receive compensation. It is not a licensed contractor and it does not do the work.
The Town rule

Common cases
- Removing a wall section for access
- Lowering grade on one side
- Adding a gate
Talk early
