Choosing a pool for your background can be hard work. A pool requires you to invest time, resources, and yard space. If you are going to build a pool, you better research well before undertaking the project. Here are the steps we encourage you to take before hiring pool contractors.
There are a few different types of pools you can choose for your house. While it is largely dependent on the owner’s artistic tastes, you can take a look at these three popular types of pools, Hydroscapes has worked on before.
● Fiberglass pools - Fiberglass pools are popular because of their shorter installation times and low maintenance.
● Concrete pools - Concrete pools are more durable than their fiberglass contemporaries. They however do need to be maintained more regularly.
● Infinity pools - Not a broad category like fiberglass or concrete, but infinity pools are perfect for patrons looking for modern chic in their designs. Infinity pools create the illusion of a never-ending edge.
Once you have an idea of what kind of pool you want, you will be able to figure out how much you are willing to spend on it. The first step is to decide on a realistic budget and then attempt to get great value for your money. We can look at different options and compare their prices to figure out the best that appeals. For example, a pool with a waterfall is going to cost more than a geometric pool. Hydroscapes Pools & Patios also offers financing options for its patrons.
Your pool needs to be conveniently situated on your property. There is more to selecting a location than how good it looks in the landscaping. There are certain local government permits that need to be adhered to. Pool contractors can only install your swimming pool at a safe distance from your home and the property line. You will also want electricity or gas lines to extend to your pool for heating purposes. Ideally, the pool should be situated under ample sunlight but you get to decide if you prefer the morning sun or the afternoon.
Finally, you need to keep in mind that if your backyard slopes, however gently, you will need to have it graded.
If you have a large family, you will obviously gravitate towards larger pools but don’t forget to consider the following factors before deciding. Pools that are meant for swimming will need to be 30 feet long or more. Some people prefer hanging out by the edge of the pool, if you are one of them, make sure you leave out enough space for the patio. The size of your backyard is also going to massively impact the size and shape of your pool.
