3 Big Things to Consider if You Want to Install a Pool in Your Home
Deciding to install a pool in your home is an exciting step, and doing it has the potential to completely revamp your family’s leisure time. That being said, the excitement of deciding to get a pool can often overshadow the practical things that must be considered before getting started. Installing the pool itself is only half the battle – and, even then, it’s the second half. Before you install a pool in your home, it’s crucial to consider three big factors that will have a major impact on the process. To learn about navigating these three big factors, read our tips below.
1. Budget
First (and maybe most obviously), it’s important to set a strict budget for the pool installation process. This will be crucial to helping you determine the type of pool you’ll be installing, as well as its size (more on that in a minute), building materials, and the overall scope of work required to bring it to like. Outlining your budget early on, whether it’s in the form of a one-time payment or a financed payment plan over time, will be the most impactful factor in your pool installation process.
2. Size
Consider the size of your dream swimming pool. How does it fit into your yard? How much space does it leave for movement in the surrounding patio and deck? The size of your pool will be the biggest factor in the amount of time and money that it will take to be built. That being said, it’s critical to consider not only the size of the pool itself, but the amount of patio and deck space you’ll need to leave around it. Consult with a professional to determine the scope of work and time required to bring your vision to life, and turn to a trustworthy paver in order to gauge whether the pool you’re envisioning really is the best fit for your home and yard.
3. Landscaping
One of the last things that people usually consider when they install a pool in their home is actually one of the most important: the landscaping. When you install a pool in your home, you alter the structure of your yard significantly. In short, installing a pool is a major landscaping project that doubles as an exciting remodeling opportunity (if you’d like it to be one).
A new pool introduces a new set of needs and priorities in your landscaping. Though looks and durability might have been two of the biggest factors you took into account in your patio previously, a pool introduces a new priority: installing pavers that will enhance the fun that this new amenity brings – without compromising on the safety. This means looking into paving your deck and patio with moisture- and slip-resistant pavers. Luckily, there are plenty of options to choose from, each offering a unique look and set of benefits. Don’t hesitate to ask your paver company for their recommendations when it comes to safe slip-resistant pavers.
If you’re looking to install a pool in your home, it’s important to be informed about the many parts of the process – and to be both thorough and organized as you navigate them. By understanding the big three considerations to keep in mind as you gear up for installing a pool – budget, size, and landscaping – you’ll be set up for success. The next step is working with professionals you can trust. To learn more about landscaping and paver installation for your home, download our guide to picking the best pavers for your home.
