My solution would be to take the floor/grass texture, duplicate it in black/white, make it all white except for the pool area (and a bit more since it will be hidden by the wood parts) that will be black. Then use the resulting image as the opacity map for the ground surface.
Tell me if I'm not explicit enough.

Actually I really don't have a clue how to do that
I just started with DAZ in late Feb.

That looks like the same setting but with way different grass than what is in mine??? I like the grass I had to delete grass in my set it was scraggly...

The removing a polygon or hiding it did the trick. The area was so large that I will have to be careful of the angle, but for under water it is no problem though.

Is that a different grass option in Harwood House that I likely missed...

If you are talking about the grass built into the aset you can easily reuse it wherever you want

I believe I understand what you're trying to do... (I may misunderstand though)
I don't exactly see any issue with the "above-ground" render, however it seems that you want to dump the pool into the same
house prop but I actually do see the need to try anymore since it's not working...
Example of workaround: Movie shots in France may actually take place in Southern California yes ?
So if the pool model has/ came with a bottom I don't see the issue. Please forgive me if I'm totally lost on your "problem"
If the pool didn't come with a bottom, are you able to get a texture, create a "plane" and put it exactly where you need it,
then apply that texture to the plane for your pool bottom ? Again, sorry if I'm actually silly on this thing.
Yes that is the original scene grass but it is UGLY!! I wanted it to look more what it would if taken care of like in your first capture, but not totally necessary.
That is about it, and did try with HDR's and different background scenes, and because the series of shots that I plan to make will involve the house, and drive that didn't fit in with the flow of things that I am thinking of. That is all subject to changes of course... I think with the one poly hidden that I can get what I need. maybe
