A Comprehensive Guide on How to Prepare for New Pool Installation

Choosing the Right Location

Consider Location: Selecting the perfect spot for your new pool is crucial. Think about how the sun hits the designated pool area throughout the day, the proximity to trees that might shed leaves into the pool, and how the pool location integrates with your home’s layout. Avoid uneven areas and ensure easy access for maintenance and enjoyment. You also should ensure the size of your pool fits well within the location you choose.

Contact HOA and Insurance: Before you start preparing for your new inground pool installation, check with your HOA for any necessary permits. Contact your homeowners insurance agency to discuss any changes to your policy. Proper preparation ensures compliance with all legal requirements and avoids future complications.

Securing Necessary Approvals

Permits and Legal Requirements: Obtaining the necessary permits for your area is a critical step in the pool installation process. Each municipality has its legal requirements for pool construction, including setbacks from property lines and underground utilities. In-ground pool installation and above-ground pools also have different permit requirements. Ensure all paperwork is completed before breaking ground. Neave Group can help take care of all your permit needs, so you can have peace of mind that your new pool is designed and installed according to any legal requirements in your area. 

Insurance Adjustments: Updating your homeowner’s insurance is essential to cover the new addition to your property. Discuss coverage options for both inground and above-ground pools with your insurance provider.

Preparing for Maintenance

Routine Maintenance: Maintaining your new pool requires proper planning and the right equipment. Pool pumps, water testing kits, and covers are essential for keeping your pool area in top condition. Regular maintenance and safety features will ensure your pool remains a beautiful and functional part of your backyard. Working with the company that installed your pool is one of the best ways to keep it running smooth all year long. Neave Group provides on-going maintenance for your pool, as well as closing and opening, so you can enjoy your pool without worry. 

Equipment and Supplies: Invest in quality maintenance supplies such as automatic cleaners and pool pumps to simplify the upkeep of your new inground pool. Water testing and treatment components are also crucial for maintaining water quality.

Enhancing Your Pool Experience

Fun Additions: Enhance your pool area with features like lights, slides, diving boards, and fountains. These additions not only make your pool more enjoyable but also increase its aesthetic appeal.

Luxury Additions: Consider adding luxury features such as integrated spas for ultimate relaxation, sun shelves for lounging in shallow water, and infinity edges to create a stunning visual effect, elevating your new inground pool to a lavish retreat.

Safety Measures: Safety is paramount. Install safety features such as fences and self-latching gates around the pool to protect your loved ones. Proper planning for pool safety ensures peace of mind.

Landscaping Around Your Pool

Post-Installation Landscaping: Once your pool is installed, consider how you will integrate it with your existing landscaping. Repair any sod damaged during construction and plan new landscaping to enhance the pool area.

Design Ideas: Explore landscaping options that complement your pool and overall backyard design. From vibrant gardens to serene green spaces, the right landscaping can transform your pool area into a stunning retreat.

Functional and Aesthetic Choices: Balance usability with visual appeal to create a pool area that meets your family’s needs and preferences.

Accessorizing Your Pool

Pool Accessories: Equip your pool with must-have accessories like poolside furniture, toys, grills, and more to elevate the enjoyment of your new pool.

Enhancing Comfort and Fun: Accessories like loungers, umbrellas, and outdoor kitchens make your pool area a hub of relaxation and entertainment.

Getting Ready for Installation

Timeline and Expectations: Understand the timeline and expectations for your pool installation. From initial planning to the final touches, the installation process typically takes several weeks to a few months, depending on the pool size and complexity.
