What Types of Inground Pools Can You Install?

When it comes to inground pools, there are several different styles, materials, and combinations to consider. Your decision will depend on factors such as budget, maintenance requirements, usage, and your current landscaping layout/features.

Options include:

Concrete pools
Vinyl liner pools
Fiberglass pools
Tile or stone pools

What Is the Ideal Pool Depth for an Inground Pool?

If you’re planning a family inground pool where young children will be playing, a shallow end of around three to four feet is typically ideal for safety and comfort. If you plan to use your pool for lounging or light recreational use, keeping the majority of the pool at a shallower depth might be a more suitable option.

For diving, a deep end of at least eight feet is often best, though this can be limited in smaller backyards. You may also prefer a consistent depth throughout for exercise pools, such as a uniform five-foot depth for lap swimming, eliminating the need for a deep end altogether.

What Custom Pool Features Can You Incorporate Into the Design?

When you're designing a custom pool, certain constructions allow you to incorporate unique features that enhance both functionality and aesthetics. Popular options include diving boards, slides, seating, and attached spas. You can also add unique lighting systems for night swimming.

If you're seeking a more personalized experience, custom tiles, rock features, and intricate coping and decking can complement your existing landscape. In terms of safety features, consider handrails, steps, and pool depth variations.

What Pool Shape Is Best for Your Backyard?

Your ideal pool shape depends on space availability, desired aesthetics, and intended use of your pool. While traditional rectangular is a popular choice, other shapes may be better suited for your needs.

Pool shapes include:

Kidney or free-form: Organic, curved designs that can create a natural, lagoon-like layout.
Geometric: Clean lines and angles, such as rectangular, squares, or L-shapes, for a modern look.
Roman: Symmetrical designs inspired by ancient architecture.
Lap pools: Long, narrow shapes ideal for swimming laps and exercising.
Custom or combination shapes: Unique designs that incorporate multiple shapes or features.

What Are Your Options for Pool Bottoms?

The pool bottom affects both the functionality and safety of your pool. Its shape and material affect water circulation, depth consistency, and ease of maintenance. Importantly, the slope and texture of the pool bottom impact your safety, especially for children or inexperienced swimmers.

Choosing the right pool bottom depends on how you plan to use the pool, the space available, and who will be using it. For recreational use, a sloped or flat bottom is both safe and versatile. If you plan on diving, a dished or deep-end bottom may be better suited.

Here are a few bottom types to consider:

Flat bottom: Even depth throughout, ideal for lap swimming or shallow recreational use
Sloped bottom: Gradual slope from shallow to deep, commonly used in residential pools for versatility
Dished bottom: A small deep section in the center or one end of the pool for diving
Deep end only: A defined shallow area with a steep drop into the deep end, good for pools with diving boards
Wedge bottom: One side of the pool is deeper, creating a sloping effect often used for infinity pools or specialized designs

What Are the Steps Involved in the Pool Construction Process?

Building a pool requires proper planning, preparation, and execution.

Here are the steps involved:

Obtain necessary permits and approvals from local authorities.
Excavate and grade the selected area for the pool.
Install the pool shell or liner, depending on the type of pool.
Construct the pool deck and surrounding hardscaping.
Install the pool equipment, including the pump, filter, and heating system.
Plumb the pool for proper water circulation and drainage.
Fill the pool with water and balance the chemistry.
Conduct final inspections.

How Long Does It Take to Build a Pool?

The duration of your pool construction project can vary based on several factors. While some projects can be completed relatively quickly, others may take longer due to certain complexities in the design.

Factors influencing duration include:

Size and design of the pool
Type of pool (concrete, fiberglass, vinyl liner)
Material and labor requirements
Inspection and permitting processes

What Are Some Important Planning Considerations for Pool Excavation?

Precise excavation is important—it ensures that your pool’s dimensions, depth, and contours match the design plan, allowing for the proper installation of materials and features like steps or ledges. It also affects how your pool integrates with your surrounding landscape.

There are three main considerations for the excavation phase:

Site assessment: We evaluate your property’s terrain, slope, and soil composition to identify potential challenges, such as drainage issues.
Utility location: Before excavation begins, we locate underground utilities such as gas lines, water pipes, and electrical cables.
Excavation equipment access: We plan how excavation machinery will access the site, especially if your backyard has narrow entry points or obstacles.

What Are the Different Types of Pool Heaters?

If you want your pool to be heated, you have a couple of options.

Heaters you can choose from include:

Gas heaters: Fueled by natural gas, these heaters quickly raise water temperature but have higher operating costs.
Heat pumps: Using electricity to transfer heat from the air, heat pumps are energy-efficient but can struggle in cooler temperatures.
Solar heaters: Solar heaters are eco-friendly and cost-effective in sunny regions but require ample space and sunlight to work effectively.
Electric resistance heaters: Suitable for smaller pools, these heaters convert electricity into heat but can be more expensive to operate.
