Creative Inground Swimming Pool Designs Can Transform Your Property

Inground swimming pool designs are an extension of your personality and your lifestyle. From free-form to modern, your pool design will dictate the type of materials you use, colors you choose and the landscaping you plan.

That’s why it’s important to select a design that represents and compliments the architectural integrity of your home and matches your lifestyle.

How can a simple inground swimming pool design transform your property into a tranquil retreat? The right design:

• Creates a peaceful retreat after a long workday
• Complements your home and adds landscape appeal
• Adds value to your home
• Encourages more family time - like playing and having dinner around the pool
• Allows you to express your personality and creativity

Three Types of Inground Swimming Pool Designs

Although inground swimming pool designs can take on nearly any shape or form, the materials usually decide how your pool will be made. Depending on the type of pool you desire, homeowners can choose from:

• Gunite or concrete pools provide the most design flexibility because they can be moulded into any shape including free-form or irregular spaces. Inground swimming pool design takes about 12 weeks to build.
• Vinyl pools come pre-engineered and may be less costly to create than gunite. Vinyl comes in several pre-designed shapes and sizes and can be customized with additional features such as durable vinyl liners and colors. Construction time is typically 3 weeks.
• Fibreglass pools offer the quickest installation - 1 to 3 weeks. The pool arrives in one pre-finished piece that comes in several sizes and shapes. Fibreglass pools have the smoothest finish, which makes it difficult for algae to grow-less maintenance and chemicals!

Special Touches to Enhance Inground Swimming Pool Designs

Inground swimming pool designs are not complete until you add a few finishing touches. Sometimes those special touches are what bring out your personality and design taste. There are many different possibilities for added enhancement:

• Finish choices such as Pebble Tech or Diamond Brite determine if you want a
  lagoon-like pool or a bright blue traditional appeal
• Water features such as waterfalls and fountains add the soothing sound of trickling water
• Spas and hot tubs provide a relaxing, therapeutic soak
• Built in water slides--from the traditional fibreglass slides to rock caves for fun
• Inground pool lighting--your lighting scheme can change with your mood
• Inground pool furniture—i.e. table, swim up bar can be added for an extra “party” feature
