With cooler temperatures and colored leaves just around the corner, fall in Alabama is only a few weeks away…hopefully. Yet, if you’re an Alabama resident then you know that there are quite a few “false falls” during these upcoming colder months. 

This means a couple of things: if you already have a swimming pool, you can extend those relaxing summer days a little longer. And if you don’t have one yet, there’s still time to make it happen! If you find yourself in that second “bucket” and you’re searching for a guide on the new swimming pool construction process, here is a guide from the new pool builders at Mr. Pool. 

Your Custom Swimming Pool, From Dream to Reality

Much like any new construction process, building a custom swimming pool is a lengthy process that requires expertise and patience. This is why it’s essential to choose a custom pool builder who understands the permits required in Alabama, the necessary steps, and the most efficient construction process to make your swimming pool “swimmable” as soon as possible. 

Before any dirt is moved, custom pool construction starts with a few necessary choices. These include choosing a pool shape, pool add-ons, and most importantly, an expert pool builder. A few custom pool options could include adding a custom hot tub, outdoor kitchen, waterfall, lights, and more.

After establishing what shape, size, and custom options you want with your new pool builder, actual construction can begin. Typically, new pool construction can be broken down into three main stages: preparation, construction, and final touches, then pool cleaning and maintenance the months after the pool is completed.

1. Preparation

The construction process begins with extensive preparation, which often involves tree removal and site cleanup to establish the exact location for your new pool. This step is critical because once the structure is in place, relocating a pool becomes nearly impossible…believe it or not.

2. Construction and Final Touches

After excavation, the actual construction of your new pool can take place. This includes structural support, plumbing, electrical components, and any custom options you choose at the beginning of the process, like a hot tub or tanning ledge. 

Once everything is set and secured, the final touches are added. This includes applying the pool liner and installing any additional accessories you’ve selected.

3. Pool Cleaning and Maintenance

After weeks of work, it can be amazing to see your backyard come to life with the addition of a new custom pool. Yet, without proper cleaning and maintenance, a swimming pool can quickly become disgusting, and green algae is just the beginning…

So, before diving in, it is important to have a schedule in place to make sure your new investment remains well-cleaned and maintained. Regular swimming pool maintenance extends the life of your pool and equipment and keeps your backyard’s aesthetic pristine.
