Rachel Fuda recently made a major upgrade to her backyard. After The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member shared photos of her pool being built in July, she had an exciting update to share two months later.

On September 28, Rachel invited her followers to ask her anything on Instagram. When one fan asked, "Is there a pool update?" the RHONJ cast member spilled the tea. Or rather, the pool water.

"It's done!" she wrote, adding a heart. It's easy to see why Rachel is smitten with her new pool. The "after" photo showed a gorgeous pool with its own resort-style amenity. At the edge of the pool, four white stools were submerged in water in front of a glossy black bar. 

When you see how far the pool has come since it was a mere hole in the ground, you'll be left wondering whether the "after" photo below shows a home or a posh resort. 

Rachel Fuda's New Pool

A pool deck paved with smooth, gray stones and checkered flooring surrounded it, and lush landscaping filled in the rest of Rachel's yard. The before photos from July were slightly less glamorous. They showed a yard with dug-up dirt and a construction site where the pool would eventually go.

Take a look at the before-and-after pictures:

Meanwhile, Rachel isn't the only RHONJ cast member who's made changes to her yard. Margaret Josephs  — who's also renovating her home — recently added a pool to her own backyard. “Doing the splits… cause my pool is officially getting put in this spot next week,” she wrote in an Instagram post from last November. Just as Rachel did, "The Marge" tagged The Pool Boss NJ for their handiwork.

The company is also responsible for Melissa Gorga's beautiful new pool. “My very good friend happens to be an amazing pool designer […] [The Pool Boss] thank you for giving my family exactly what we wanted,” Melissa captioned an August 9 Instagram post with different views of the backyard and pool. 

The images showed a complete look at the rectangular pool, several black deck chairs, and two “day beds” that Melissa noted were from outdoor furniture retailer The Wickery. The outdoor patio space also features a firepit and beautiful landscaping.
