There are a number of things to consider when deciding which style or model of in-ground pool is right for you:
- the layout and topography of the land
- the type of soil
- the design
- the investment
You also need to think about where the sun hits your yard throughout the day and how nearby trees and vegetation will figure into your pool’s location. Then you’ll have to plan the layout of the living spaces around the pool. Ideally, you want to make sure it blends in with the other landscaping in the yard and that it’s safe for your family and neighbors.
To guarantee your project runs smoothly and avoid any unpleasant surprises, we strongly suggest you have precise plans drawn up by a landscape designer or architect. Consulting with a master landscaper to maximize the landscaping is also a good idea.
For optimal safety and enjoyment, it’s wise to locate your pool farther away from the house. This will protect you from foundation issues caused by overflowing water and leaks caused by storms. Plus, it keeps noisy heat pumps in the distance. Finally, make sure you have a fence installed that complies with all current standards. The safety of your family and others is at stake.
