3 Things to Consider Before Building a Pool

Are you ready to add an in-ground swimming pool to your home? There are so many benefits to owning a pool, both for your health and your property value. However, before you jump into pool ownership, you need to consider a few factors to make the most of your purchase. Here are three major considerations when planning for your new in-ground pool project.

  1. Type of pool. You have a few options when it comes to the type of pool you will build. While fiberglass pools are budget-friendly, they can be limited in size, shape and require access to the pool area for delivery. Cement or custom pools are more expensive, but have advantages in longevity and building options. The size and placement of your pool will impact the type of pool you may need.
  2. Pool equipment. What type of water system will work best for your needs? You need to think about the different filtration and sanitation options before you order your pool. Talk to your pool service about the different equipment available so you can make an informed decision.
  3. Additional features. It is simpler to have extra features included with your pool installation than to add them later. Consider whether you want interior lighting, a waterfall, spa or fire feature added to your pool area. These can be installed with your pool so that everything is done at the same time.

Building a new swimming pool is an exciting project, but you want to make sure you get the pool you envision. Find a quality pool contractor that has an excellent reputation for superior service to get the pool of your dreams.

4 Features to Upgrade Your Pool

You don’t necessarily need a full pool renovation to upgrade your pool area. If your pool’s surface and decking is still in good shape, but you want to improve the overall style of your pool area, adding features can be the best option. With a few additions, you can make your pool area more enjoyable and beautiful. Here are four features that can spruce up your pool area without the need for a complete renovation.

  1. Underwater Lighting. Pool and outdoor lighting can make a big difference in the look of your backyard, especially at night. Underwater lighting can turn your pool into a centerpiece, along with spotlighting to enhance your landscaping and other features.
  2. Waterfalls and other waterscapes. Adding moving water to your pool area offers a relaxing sound and sparkle. Consider a waterfall, water wall or fountain to add beauty to your pool space.
  3. Spa. Spas can be added to your pool area after the fact, giving a separate spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. There are many design options available that can complement your pool area while giving you the luxury of a massaging spa in your backyard.
  4. Fire features. Adding fire features around your pool can give your outdoor space a dazzling appearance. Flames reflecting off the water can create an entrancing area for nighttime entertaining. Consider pool edge fire features, fire pits or other options to add a different element to your pool space.

Give your pool an update without breaking the bank. Talk to your local pool remodeling service to discuss features that can give your pool a new look or improved function.
