Making Your Pool Dreams A Reality

You and your family have dreamed about it and talked about it for several years, but the time has come to realize your dream of making your pool dream a reality. Where do you begin, though?

The swimming pool contractors Austin TX from Sea Horse Pools say you need to determine what kind of pool will best suit your family’s unique needs. This could be anything from wanting a lap pool if you’re only looking at a pool for exercise reasons, or if you only have a small backyard. Or do you want a pool with a beach entry and sun shelves or a rock waterfall or diving board or slide or a spa at one end? The decision making process may seem overwhelming, but when you work with a trusted pool contractor it’s easy to come up with the answers to these questions and feel good about your ultimate decision.

Your pool contractor will likely ask two questions first:

 1.      What is your budget for the pool project and its ongoing upkeep?

 2.      What purpose do you want the pool for? Exercise? Relaxation? Parties? All, or some, of the above?

You will also need to consider how much of your backyard space you want to devote to the swimming pool project and what style pool fits into the existing landscaping, IE trees, natural slope of the yard, other structures. Do you have a “backyard with a view”? If that’s the case you may want to opt for a dramatic swimming pool design called the vanishing, or infinity, edge; these pools look as though they are falling off into the horizon. Actually, with the vanishing edge pool the water spills off the edge and is captured, filtered and returned to the pool; no water is wasted.
