Adding an in-ground pool to your home can greatly enhance the quality of your outdoor living space. We asked the expert, Asa Pelman, at Nelson Pools for tips and trends to help make the best choices for your backyard oasis. 

What type of pool is best for my backyard? 
During your initial consultation, we carefully consider all aspects of your project: What space is available? How do you intend to use the space for recreation, exercise, relaxation, entertainment? What type of budget are we trying to stay within? What styles, colors, materials, plant life are you interested in? 

How long does it take to build a pool? 
A pool or pool/spa can take as little as 3-4 months, and a pool or pool/spa that includes landscaping, hardscaping, and outdoor living can take as little as 5-6 months. Of course, these timelines can vary. 

Can you do all the concrete design and landscaping around the pool, too? 
Absolutely, whether you’re after turf accent strips, decorative cuts, overlays, designs and/or colors, we offer it all. We work with only the highest quality artisans and masons to provide a quality finish. 

What are some new trends in pools? 
Multi-functional spaces are the go-to build in 2024, combining the swimming space with a shallow lounging section, spas, fire pits and kitchen areas. Plunge pools are becoming increasingly popular too. They are easier to maintain, but can also double as a spa, or a swim lane. 

What are some mistakes to avoid when having a pool installed? 
Planning for a swimming pool project can be exciting, but most people don’t know where to begin. We offer a free consultation to go over relative costs, pros and cons, as well as provide insight for any questions or concerns you might have.
