Winter may seem like an unusual time to start thinking about a custom pool, but in Alabama, it’s actually the perfect season to start planning and building! Discover why building an in-ground pool during the winter months with the experts at Mr. Pool offers unique benefits, from saving money to having your pool ready for summer. 

Lower Demand 

In Alabama, it is not unusual for pool contractors to have more availability in the winter, as the demand for in-ground pools is typically lower. By starting your custom pool project during the off-season you can avoid the peak season rush. This means you have the advantage of more attention from your contractor and a quicker more flexible timeline. 

Ready in Time for Summer 

In Alabama, the weather warms up fast in the spring and many homeowners start dreaming of cooling off in their custom-built in-ground pool. By building your pool during the winter you guarantee that your pool is ready to enjoy by the time warm weather arrives. No waiting and no construction interrupting the unbearable heat–just a perfect, ready-to-use pool. 

Optimal Construction Conditions

Winter in Alabama brings cooler temperatures and fewer rain delays making the weather ideal for pool construction. Ground preparation, excavation, and installation will proceed more smoothly in the winter than in the spring due to the more predictable weather conditions. By starting now you can likely avoid weather delays in constructing your custom-built in-ground pool letting you enjoy Alabama’s hot summer months to their fullest. 

Increase Property Value 

An in-ground pool is a highly sought-after feature for many Alabama homeowners. A custom pool can significantly increase your property’s appeal and value  When building during the winter your pool will be ready for those spring open houses and appraisals or just neighborhood admiration.  

Add Luxury to Outdoor Living Space

Building a custom in-ground pool is more than just adding a place to swim in your backyard. It transforms your backyard into a luxurious, relaxing retreat. Winter is the perfect time to dream up your perfect outdoor oasis, allowing you time to consider the additions of features offered by Mr. Pool like spas, water features, or custom lighting. Imagine spending the summer relaxing in your beautiful in-ground pool without construction disturbances. 

Poolside Landscaping

If you’re planning to add landscaping around your in-ground pool, winter is an amazing time to start preparing your plans. You can work with landscape designers to create a cohesive, beautiful backyard design. By the spring you’ll be ready to plant those flowers, and shrubs, or even install outdoor furniture around your custom pool for a fully-designed outdoor oasis. 

Pool Permitting

Once your pool design is finalized it must be approved. Exact paperwork will vary based on city and county but one thing is certain, getting approval in the summer months can take weeks. Building in the winter gives you the advantage of having your paperwork on the top of the stack so to speak, further ensuring you will be able to enjoy your new custom pool when those hot months roll around.
