When most people think about building a swimming pool, spring and summer probably come to mind. But if you’re dreaming about enjoying a new pool next summer, fall may be the perfect time to start planning.
Choosing to build a pool in the fall or simply getting the process started early gives you more time to find the right builder, explore designs, plan your budget and financing, and think about the complete backyard you want to create.
From getting ahead of the busy spring season to potential end-of-season deals, starting now can put you one step closer to enjoying your new backyard when warmer weather returns. Here are five reasons to get your pool project moving this fall.
Spring and summer are busy seasons for the pool industry. By starting your pool project in the fall, you can get ahead of homeowners who wait until warmer weather to begin contacting pool builders.
Getting started earlier gives you more time to choose your builder, finalize your swimming pool design, explore pool financing options, and prepare for construction before peak pool season arrives.
Even if construction doesn’t begin immediately, starting the conversation with a pool builder in the fall can put you further along when spring arrives.
Building a pool is often about more than the pool itself. Patios, decking, outdoor kitchens, landscaping, fencing, pergolas, spas, fire features, and other upgrades can turn a new swimming pool into a complete outdoor living space.
Starting your pool planning in the fall gives you more time to think about how you want your entire backyard to look, feel, and function. Planning these features together can help you create a more cohesive outdoor living space and better understand the overall budget for your project.
Another reason to consider starting a pool project in the fall is the potential for end-of-season savings. Some pool builders, manufacturers, and suppliers may offer seasonal promotions or special pricing as the busy summer season winds down.
Depending on your builder, location, and the type of swimming pool you’re considering, there may also be opportunities to save on available inventory, pool equipment, upgrades, or other outdoor living features.
End-of-season pool deals are not guaranteed, so ask your pool builder about current promotions, available inventory, and seasonal incentives when planning your project.
A swimming pool is a major home improvement project, so understanding your budget early can help you make more informed decisions about the size, design, and features you want.
Starting in the fall gives you more time to understand the overall project cost and explore how you want to pay for your new pool.
If you’re considering swimming pool financing, exploring your options early can also help you understand how your project could fit into your monthly budget. Financing can make it possible for qualified homeowners to consider the pool and additional outdoor living features they want while spreading the cost over predictable monthly payments.
If your goal is to enjoy your new pool next summer, waiting until spring to start planning can leave you with less flexibility.
Pool construction timelines can be affected by weather, permitting, material availability, contractor schedules, and other factors. Starting the process in the fall gives you a longer runway to work through the details and move your project forward before warmer weather arrives.
Instead of spending the beginning of summer choosing finishes, finalizing plans, or waiting to get on a builder’s schedule, you can already be further along in the process.
You don’t have to wait until construction begins to start thinking about financing. Exploring pool financing early can help you establish a realistic project budget and understand what a potential monthly payment could look like before finalizing your plans.
