Tipton Pool Builders, in Knoxville, TN answer, Where should you put your pool?”
There are many things you need to think about when you’re going to become a swimming pool owner not the least of which is where should you put your pool. There are myriad options for pool placement and many considerations you will want to discuss with your swimming pool contractor from Tipton Pools.
Where should you put your pool?
Careful time and consideration needs to be put into the placement of the pool — let’s face it, once it’s in you can’t move it! Having the placement of the swimming pool mapped out prior to any excavation is part of the overall pool construction project. Your pool contractor will pay a site visit and will offer suggestions.
You need to determine if you want the pool to fit into the existing landscape or whether you want to remove trees or other landscape items to accommodate the pool. Many pool contractors can provide you with a three-dimensional view of the completed pool project. You may want to ask for a bird’s eye view of the project as well so you can get a true feeling for what your backyard will look like once the pool is complete.
Here are some thoughts to consider if you believe you want your pool to be house-adjacent.
- If you don’t want to dash across the yard to get to and from the swimming pool, you may want to have it placed closer to your home for ease of access.
- If you have a small backyard, you may want to have the pool abut the pool to the house to make efficient use of a small space. Placing the pool close to the house will leave more of the backyard space available for entertaining and outdoor activities.
- Having the pool next to the house may provide more privacy than placing it elsewhere. Effective use of fencing and landscaping can also help amp up the privacy of your pool area.
- A swimming pool is much more than a water-filled object. A swimming pool enhances the aesthetics of the home and your entire yard space. A swimming pool gives your house a “wow!” factor. Water features add to the relaxation and ambiance of a pool.
- Safety could be enhanced if the pool is next to the home. If the pool is close to the house you will be better able to see and hear what’s going on in the pool.
It is a very personal decision as to where you place your family swimming pool. Give it time, thought and consideration so you’re happy with the outcome.
