What Are the Best Options for a New Pool This Summer?

There is often no better way to beat the heat than a backyard pool. Selecting the best installation options is important when it comes to boosting the value of your property or for ensuring that your new pool can provide the full range of features, extras, and amenities available.

Hot Tubs
Having your swimming pool makes it much easier to take a dip or get some sun, but choosing to install a hot tub as well can make for an even more enjoyable experience. An adjacent or attached hot tub can often be had without substantially raising installation costs and such an option makes it easy to enjoy your pool all year long.

Shade and Landscaping
Incorporating your pool into the surrounding landscape can help to improve the overall look of your home’s exterior. Shade trees, shrubs, and other landscaping elements can also be used to shade an area or to create a more private or exclusive environment. While not every pool installation may require a landscaping upgrade, making even a few modest changes to your pool’s surroundings could end up making a bigger difference than you might expect.

Above Ground Pools
Above ground pool installation can often be arranged for a much less overall cost than a below-ground option. An above-ground pool can often be a more ideal option when it comes to installing a pool next to a planned or existing deck, porch, or patio. Exploring more affordable installation options can make it much easier to enjoy the perfect backyard pool without breaking the bank.

In-Pool Heating and Cooling
While temperature control may seem like an unnecessary extra, in-pool heating and cooling options can allow you to get far more use out of your pool. Pool water can become uncomfortably warm during long summer days and taking a dip in water that is less than refreshing can become more trouble than it’s worth. A heated pool can also be of benefit, especially if you are interested in swimming or relaxing poolside during late spring or throughout the early fall.

From hot tubs and in-pool heating to shaded areas and above-ground decks and patios, there are plenty of options that can help to enhance your poolside enjoyment. Selecting the best features for your new pool installation can go a long way towards ensuring that the results are more likely to provide you with greater comfort and enjoyment. By following these tips, you can make sure that you family will have a place to beat the summer heat all summer long.
