Things To Consider During The Swimming Pool Design Process
At Bask Pools + Outdoors, we want to help you enjoy a swimming pool that is the envy of your neighborhood in terms of both aesthetic and function. Swimming pools are a highly valuable asset — they can increase your property value by several thousand dollars while simultaneously giving you the perfect setup for long, fun summers with the family and unforgettable nights of entertaining guests. When you choose us to design and install your swimming pool, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to make informed choices throughout the design process and get the most value out of your swimming pool build. Below are some of the things to know and things to consider at each step in our swimming pool design process:
Step 1 — The First Phone Call
We’re so excited to start helping you bring your dream backyard swimming pool to life. Your first phone call with us is a discovery meeting. We will discuss the basic details of your project in order for us to understand you needs and wants. This information will be passed along to our swimming pool design team — They will dive into the good stuff and all the specifics in our design meeting together later on. Still, it’s good to keep a few things in mind when you first connect with Bask Pools + Outdoors.
What to Consider:
- The Financial Value Of Installing A Swimming Pool — A swimming pool may be a sizable investment, but with significant investments comes significant rewards. Some studies have shown that adding a swimming pool can raise a home’s value by 7 percent or more. Another study, conducted in a warm-weather market, found that the addition of a swimming pool can add anywhere from $11,000 to $95,000 to a home’s property value!
- The Quality Of Life Benefit Of Installing A Swimming Pool — Pools may have a tangible benefit to your property value, but that pales in comparison to the invaluable enjoyment you and your family will get out of your pool for years to come. Swimming pools aren’t useful only for summer fun and entertaining guests — swimming pools are useful for exercise and therapeutic purposes, too!
- The Associated Costs Of Owning A Swimming Pool — When budgeting for a new swimming pool project, don’t forget to factor in the associated costs of owning a swimming pool. Basic pool maintenance costs about $1,200 annually. Throw in the cost of repair work you’ll need down the road and the increase in your utility bills, and it costs about $3,000 a year to own and operate a swimming pool.
Step 2 — Design Meeting & Swimming Pool Concept Development
In this phase, we’ll dig into the meat of your project and flesh out the details of your new swimming pool project. Given that we are a custom swimming pool builder there are a lot of different details to consider as we build the design of your swimming pool together.
What to Consider:
- Your Desired Type Of Inground Swimming Pool — We offer multiple kinds of swimming pools at Bask Pools + Outdoors, including free form pools, geometric pools, infinity pools, zero-edge pools.
- The Location Of Your Swimming Pool — If you have a larger property, do you have a specific area in mind for your pool?
- Water Features — The Bask Pools + Outdoors team has the expertise to add a variety of water features to your swimming pool, including fountains, waterfalls, grottos, and more. Click the button below to get a peek at what we can do!
- Other Special Features — If you have special features in mind, such as having a heated pool, an automated control panel, pool lighting, or more, ask our swimming pool design team! We’re here to get your dream swimming pool built right, down to the last detail.
Step 3 — Swimming Pool Design Finalization & Beginning Of Construction
Once you’ve made all the decisions regarding the design of your swimming pool and you’ve approved a final design from our architects, we’ll link up with you to conduct a final site walkthrough before our team of swimming pool builders get to work. There are a few final details to consider before we break ground.
What to Consider:
- Pool Accessories — As your swimming pool nears completion, it’s time to start considering the necessary and optional pool accessories, such as a swimming pool cover, pool maintenance equipment. water toys for the kids, etc.
Step 4 — Pool Startup & Basic Pool Maintenance Walkthrough
Once our swimming pool builders have finished your project, we’ll meet with you one last time to start up your pool for the first time and conduct a brief “pool school” session so you understand how to maintain your swimming pool and keep it running in peak condition. As you get prepared to maintain and enjoy your pool for many, many years to come, there are just a few things to keep in mind.
What to Consider:
- Pool Maintenance Options — In addition to our swimming pool installation and repair services, the Bask Pools + Outdoors team can take care of your pool cleaning and water quality maintenance for you, if you’d like!
What to Know:
- Essential Pool Maintenance Tasks — Before Pool School is complete, make sure you feel confident in knowing how to test your water quality and chemical balance, clean both the surface of your pool and the surfaces of the basin, and perform standard pool maintenance tasks, such as backwashing and shock treatments.
- Essential Pool Maintenance Supplies — In addition to the obvious pieces of equipment, such as skimmers, pool cleaners, and chlorine, you’ll want to have a number of chemicals and pool water treatments on hand in case your water gets out of balance, including algaecides, flocculants, stain removers, and water quality testing kits.
Step 5 — Ongoing Swimming Pool Assistance & Maintenance (Upon Request)
We hope you’re enjoying your brand new swimming pool! Remember that you can call Bask Pools + Outdoors at any time if you have questions about your swimming pool, best swimming pool maintenance practices, or are concerned about anything regarding its function or condition.
