The time it takes to build a swimming pool can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, weather conditions and the time of year the project is starting, location of the project and permitting requirements for that municipality. Typically, the construction timeline for a standard project can take between 6-10 weeks. Our design team can give you a custom-tailored estimate of what time frame to expect for your individual project. 

Choosing the right style of pool for your backyard can be difficult. The first thing to consider is your family’s individual aesthetic preferences. Do you like curvy, free form shaped pools, or the more modern style pools with straight lines and sharp corners? The second thing to consider is the shape of your yard and the available space you have. Our designers can create a custom design that not only fits perfectly in the area you would like to build but looks exactly like what you imagined. We listen to you, and that is one of the most important parts of creating the perfect design!

1. Rectangular Pools: Classic and timeless, rectangular pools are ideal for swimming laps and fit well in formal, traditional landscapes.

2. Kidney-Shaped Pools: With a natural, soft shape, kidney pools are great for landscapes aiming for a more organic look. They blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment and are versatile for various activities.

3. Infinity Pools: Best suited for yards with a view, infinity pools give a stunning effect of water with no boundaries. They are perfect for luxurious, contemporary spaces.

4. L-Shaped Pools: These pools are excellent for families looking for separate deep and shallow areas or a distinct swimming and lounging section.

5. Circular and Oval Pools: Ideal for smaller spaces or more intimate settings, these pools are great for relaxation and easy conversation.

6. Custom Shapes: If you have specific needs or want a pool that uniquely fits your space and style, a custom-designed pool might be the right choice.

Consider how each style complements your home’s architecture and your landscape’s layout. Additionally, think about the maintenance requirements and long-term enjoyment of the pool. Consulting with a pool design expert can also provide tailored advice based on your specific circumstances.

The size and shape of your backyard will determine the dimensions of the pool you can have installed. The first step we would recommend is to measure your backyard and contact your local building/planning department to see what setbacks are required, from the water’s edge to property lines and structures. Make sure to ask officials whether there are any easements or regulations for pool equipment positioning that may reduce the building space you have. To make things easier, just give us a call and we will gladly get the answers for you.

1. Minimum Size Requirements: Generally, for a small pool (about 20 feet long and 10 feet wide), you will need at least a backyard space that is 30 feet by 15 feet to accommodate the pool and the necessary surrounding area for installation and maintenance access.

2. Setback and Easement Requirements: Local building codes often require pools to be set back a certain distance from property lines, structures, and public easements. These setback requirements can significantly influence the size and positioning of your pool.

3. Purpose of the Pool: Consider what you want to use the pool for. If it’s primarily for exercise, like swimming laps, you might need a longer and relatively narrow pool. For general leisure or family fun, a smaller or differently shaped pool might suffice.

4. Additional Features: If you plan to include additional features such as a deck, diving board, slide, or spa, you will need more space. These features should be planned in advance to ensure they fit comfortably within your property boundaries.

5. Landscaping and Outdoor Living Areas: Don’t forget to account for areas around the pool. You’ll likely want some landscaping, lounging areas, and perhaps a patio or outdoor kitchen. Make sure to plan for enough space to integrate these elements without feeling cramped.

As a rule of thumb, measure your available space and consult with a pool contractor or a landscape architect to get a professional assessment of what pool size your backyard can accommodate. This planning phase is crucial to align your desires with the practical realities of your property’s dimensions and local zoning laws.

Maintaining a swimming pool involves several routine tasks to ensure clean, healthy, and enjoyable water. It’s important to clean filters, empty debris baskets, and brush interior surfaces regularly.

If you don’t think pool maintenance is for you, there are many affordable pool service professionals that can take care of it for you.
