The idea of designing your dream residential pool is something many people who live in the triple digit temperatures that are part of Arizona dream of. When you work with a swimming pool service and repair contractor from SwimRight Pools you can desing and build the pool of your dreams or you can upgrade an existing pool to become the pool of your dreams.
Designing your dream residential pool
If you have dreamed of owning your own swimming pool for as long as you can remember and have decided that this is the year that you’re going to make it happen, you will first want to find a pool contractor to do the project for you. Ask for referrals from friends. Meet wtih a few pool contractors, ask for information and advice, browse their photos of completed projects and don’t sign any contract until you’re satisfied with the price and how the project will progress. Determine your budget for the project before you meet with pool contractors — don’t go armed with a $20,000 budget and a 1.2 million project wish list!
- Determine the ideal shape for your pool. The beauty of your dream residential pool is that you can let your imagination run wild when you’re designing the project. Do you want a shape that will flow with the existing lines of your yard or do you want to have a pool that cuts its own swath in the backyard? Work with a pool contractor who can help you realize the pool design and shape of your dreams.
- What accessories do you want in your dream pool? Do you want sun shelves? A diving board or slide? A rock waterfall or a fountain? How about a swim up spa or a beach entry? These are items you will want to consider and budget for when talking with your pool contractor to begin the project.
- Do you have a “yard with a view?” If so, you may want to consider a vanishing edge or infinity edge pool to make the most of the beauty of your view.
- What color and what building material do you want your pool made from? Do you want to use tiles to add interest and intrigue to your pool and its design?
- Do you want the swimming pool to blend in or stand out? This is a decision you’ll need to make before you meet with a pool contractor. The pool can be the focal point of your property or it can be placed in a secluded area of the yard and be a grotto getaway.
- Consider the landscaping of the pool and the addition of any outdoor living space as part of your overall pool project. Even if you can’t complete all of the items on your wish list up front, you will have the drawings to guide you when you are ready to complete the pool of your dreams.
