Swimming Pool Construction; Worried About Unexpected Expenses?

Jul 25, 2021

When you have an in-ground swimming pool built in Florida, it is only natural to think about the budget and unexpected expenses. Here at Dreamscapes Pools and Spas we take pride in being transparent. 

We have the newest 3D computer technology to walk you through the entire process and to ensure your vision comes to life. You will be able to visually see your new swimming pool from inside your home, walk outside to be virtually surrounded by your backyard oasis. 

We also go over all the aspects of construction. Leaving no stone unturned. With that being said, there are legitimate unforeseen expenses that can arise.

Here are a few potential issues:

Debris buried in the yard where the pool is going. This recently happened to us just a month ago. As we were excavating we actually found the remnants of a shed that was buried beneath the ground. We had to do some extra excavation and have the trash hauled off. Then we had to bring in extra dirt. This can ultimately add to the cost of excavation. 

The weight of a swimming pool is substantial. It takes adequate soil to withstand this type of weight. This can mean the soil on your property may need to be amended to ensure it is resistant to compaction. If not, it can lead to issues with the concrete pool shell down the road. If this is the case, it can also increase the excavation cost. 

Here in Florida, it is possible that we run into groundwater during excavation. Depending on the extent, rocks may need to be brought in toil part of the hole. Ultimately, the water may need to be diverted to another area on the property.

Our free consultation will give you a feel for our design process and work ethic. We also encourage you to look at our gallery page for our previous pool construction.
