Designing a Pool

 

Step One - Plan Your Backyard
Existing Home: Before you begin shopping for your pool installer, think about the entire yard and the type of pool that you want to build. While most often the swimming pool becomes the center of attention, it’s important to think about the picnic areas, the barbecue, the pool house and landscaping you may want to add.

New Home Construction: There are many benefits to building your pool or spa during the construction of your new home. You will avoid the inconvenience and noise of construction re-occurring in your backyard after you have just moved in. During the home construction process, there is easier access to the backyard, which will eliminate the cost of repairs to landscaping, and there is no need to remove and replace fences or walls. Also, you will be better able to integrate the pool design and all the other backyard features with your home design. Best of all, you can add the pool to the first mortgage and lower your finance costs.

Step Two – Envision Your Pool or Spa

While you’re planning, consider the type of pool you want to build. Is it to be a play pool, one with a constant depth or one with varying depths, but with enough area for you and your family to enjoy pool games such as volleyball or basketball? There are other things to contemplate as well when deciding on the shape and depth of your new pool -- will it be used for exercising, diving, or just for entertaining friends and family around a beautiful landscape element?

Step Three – Design Your Backyard Dream
By contacting our office, we can schedule a representative to visit your home, at your convenience, for a free, no-obligation consultation. By viewing your property and discussing with you your ideas, our consultant can help custom-design your dream pool.

We carefully plan and install your pool based on many conditions, including the region of the country, weather conditions, local laws and municipal building codes - but most importantly with your backyard dream in mind. Your design consultant will discuss with you sizes, shapes and features, as well as landscaping options to complete your backyard environment. They can review with you any special considerations that may be required based on your property conditions. Once you've selected a pool design, they can suggest deck options, raised or connected spas, locations for steps and swimouts, handrails or diving boards; as well as placement of your equipment. Pricing is determined on the size and features, not on the style you want; and there are numerous options you can incorporate into your backyard project. 

  • Ask about adding a raised or connected spa to your pool
  • Illuminate your pool and backyard landscaping with colored lighting
  • Ask about other products such as pool cleaners, covers, automatic control systems and more
