Regional differences can play a large role in swimming pool design and cost. Concrete may be similarly priced to vinyl in southern states, such as Florida, but considerably more expensive the further north you go. The hard shell of fiberglass is largely impervious to the harsher winter conditions of northern climates. Talking to a local contractor can be invaluable for learning about the performance of different swimming pools in local climates.
Above Ground Pool Design
The major choice for above ground pools is whether your pool should be soft-sided or hard-sided. Soft-sided pools are cheaper, but less durable. These pools are a better idea for homeowners who want to provide their kids with a pool and an occasional soak, but probably won't want to keep their pool installation after the kids have left the nest. Hard-sided pools can range in price and longevity to match a homeowner's need. With a quality deck installation, they can rival in ground pools for luxury and appeal.
You may hear that an above ground pool is harder to maintain. This is a fallacy. The problems most homeowners have with their above ground pools are skimping on the filter and pump installations, along with materials. Even the cheapest swimming pools deserve a quality filter and cleaning system to ensure the required maintenance and repair is kept to a minimum.
Custom Swimming Pool Design
High end swimming pools can be designed to meet any personal preference for luxury or backyard ambiance. The first step in custom swimming pool design is to design an organic shape that is pleasing to the eye and blends into the dimensions of your yard. Pool and spa combinations can get pricey but will certainly streamline the cost of installing them separately. Waterfalls are the epitome of creating a backyard oasis and can be easily connected to a swimming pool design. Anything you can imagine that would be associated with a swimming pool or pond can typically be incorporated in the design.
