Purchasing a pool can be an exhilarating experience for the entire household. However, to make the experience seamless, some critical work needs to happen behind the scenes. While the process may feel overwhelming, our swimming pool designers and inground pool contractors will work with you to make the whole experience quick, easy, and enjoyable.
Understand the Size of Your Yard
With so many pool sizes and designs to choose from, the possibilities are endless. The one finite thing is the amount of space you have to work with. Your swimming pool contractor will work with you to measure your backyard so that the pool you pick fits both your needs and your outdoor space.
Choose Your Pool Layout and Design
Once the size is finalized, it will be time to pick your pool and choose the surrounding elements. This includes:
- Picking your pool shape and design features. This includes considering the incorporation of sun ledges, Baha benches, corner vs wide pool stairs, etc.
- Picking your vinyl swimming pool liner (including the colour and design)
- Choosing your cover (regular vs built-in, mesh vs solid)
- Deciding on your pool heater (gas, electric, propane, solar)
- Considering other elements, such as a pool house. While some customers want something to cover and protect the equipment, others prefer a larger structure to house everything from change rooms to tiki bars.
- Finalizing your decking (pavers vs concrete and the coping that will ultimately surround your pool)
At Ultimate Pool and Spa, we offer end-to-end pool construction and also have the ability to landscape your entire backyard once your pool has been installed. From fencing to hardscaping, from green spaces to privacy barriers, we can build it all!
Plan for Construction
Once you have decided on a custom pool shape and style and have made a plan for your entire backyard, the real work will begin. Building your perfect pool takes skilled workers, machinery, and various materials. If you are building an inground pool, it will also require excavation. Before construction starts, your pool builder will work with you to figure out permits (if applicable) and advise on access. This could mean temporarily removing fencing and pre-existing landscaping elements to allow for the passage of equipment, materials, and workers.
