[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]A pool is a worthy investment that can turn your space into the ultimate stage for relaxation, socializing, partying and other feel-good activities. It allows you to keep the heat at bay during summer and increase the value of your property in one stroke.However, there are a couple of key considerations to take into account before diving in. You have to ponder the layout of your outdoor area, the landscaping design, your budget, preferences, and the features you want to include. Besides, pools come in all shapes and sizes, so it is best to first take a deep breath. Here is how to design your ultimate water sanctuary.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="74"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1522976671006{padding-top: 400px !important;background-image: url(http://imagineerremodeling.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/image1.jpg?id=25447) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height="yes" css=".vc_custom_1457706868588{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1522976686559{padding-top: 400px !important;background-image: url(http://imagineerremodeling.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/image2.jpg?id=25448) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1492720050089{padding-top: 75px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}"][gem_divider margin_top="43"][vc_column_text]
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]It goes without saying that installing a pool is a costly endeavor. To make the right call, work out a budget. Factor in the price of the pool, but also the costs of installing it as well as creating additional structures (deck, patio, fences, etc.). Likewise, it would be wise to take into account the costs of owning a pool, most notably the maintenance and the power supply for the filtration and heating unit. Next, you should assess the amount of space you have.Get the exact location of your property lines and plan how the pool is going to fit the present layout, surrounding structures, and landscaping. Make certain that the location is not shaded during the day and that there is enough space for a walkway along the water edge. You do not want to make a mistake that would be expensive to set right afterward. That being said, you should try to think creatively, beyond just slapping the pool in the backyard and then adding a border of concrete around it.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="74"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height="yes" css=".vc_custom_1457706868588{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1457706737265{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background-color: #f5f7f6 !important;}"][gem_divider margin_top="43"][vc_column_text]
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]Once the dimensions and the location are sorted out, you have to determine what type of pool to go for. Namely, we have two basic variations: in-ground and above-ground pools. The latter is a cheaper option and they are also much easier to install. The flipside is that they tend to be smaller and shallower than their in-ground counterparts. What is more, the design choices of above-ground pools are quite limited: most of them are either circular or rectangular.On the other hand, in-ground pools come in three basic forms: fiberglass, vinyl, and concrete. All the options have their own pros and cons you should weigh in. For instance, vinyl pools involve a shorter construction time and are available in a slew of patterns and colors. Concrete pools are the most expensive solution, but they are also the most durable of the three. As an added benefit, it is possible to finish them with glass bead, marble or tiles.With the passage of time, your pool is bound to lose some of the appeal it had when you installed it. This is where special pool paint comes into action. In no time, your pool will go from looking kind of old and dirty to the one the looks like it came straight out of a catalog. These coating solutions are quite durable, making your pool easier to clean and preventing dirt and bacteria from harboring in any cracks.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="74"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1522976772156{padding-top: 400px !important;background-image: url(http://imagineerremodeling.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/image3.jpg?id=25449) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height="yes" css=".vc_custom_1457706868588{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1522976838468{padding-top: 400px !important;background-image: url(http://imagineerremodeling.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/image4.jpg?id=25450) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1492720050089{padding-top: 75px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}"][gem_divider margin_top="43"][vc_column_text]
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]Upon reaching a decision regarding the basic design, you can proceed to customize your pool with accessories. For example, in case you went for an in-ground pool that is deep enough, add a diving board or bring utter joy to your children by investing in a slide. A volleyball net is an affordable feature that can turn your pool into a watersports arena. There are, of course, some more expensive additions that can significantly boost your enjoyment, such as an adjoining hot tub.In any event, a nice seating area with outdoor dining tables and comfy furniture is a must. If you want an attention-grabbing centerpiece for your poolside patio, you can get a concrete statue or figurine. To deliver personal touches, do some landscaping around the pool and foster a breathtaking oasis. This is also your chance to be smart and enhance your privacy with well-placed evergreens, arbores, and landscape mounds.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="74"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height="yes" css=".vc_custom_1457706868588{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1457706737265{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background-color: #f5f7f6 !important;}"][gem_divider margin_top="43"][vc_column_text]
