Ready for an in-ground swimming pool in your back yard? Before you take the plunge into your dream oasis, here are a few tips on buying a swimming pool.

Create a Wish List: You’ve been thinking about having your very own backyard swimming pool for years. You may already know what you want. But a little bit of homework, gathering ideas, and researching the latest technology, can ensure you get the pool of your dreams. When you speak with the design team at Dreamscape Pools and Spas they can finalize all the details and make your dream a reality.

Shape of the Swimming Pool: The design and shape of your swimming pool is crucial, for both daily activity and aesthetics. For a classic, timeless feel, a rectangular shape is perfect, they are great for swimming laps and family games. For a more natural feel, a free form or a kidney shape pool may be better suited. They blend in with the vegetation and look great with grottos and waterfalls.

How Will You Be Using The Pool: A relaxing retreat with the tranquil sound of a waterfall, a vanishing edge, and glass tile. If the pool is going to be for the kids, a splash pad, wading area, beach entry and a slide would be tons of fun. If it is for entertaining or even an investment, you may want a beautiful water feature, a fire feature, and a negative edge would really create a dramatic ambiance.

Eco-Friendly and Energy Efficient: Today’s technology has made in ground swimming pools more cost efficient than ever. Lighting timers and pumps can save tons of money in energy savings. Natural alternatives have replaced many harsh chemicals and attached ponds can be used to help filter the water.

Water Features and Final Touches: You may have a budget, but don’t skimp on the things you really want, adding features after the pool is complete can end up costing significantly more. Everyone enjoys water features, from bubbling fountains, fun spouting fish, to elegant rock waterfalls, they are all easier to install when the pool is initially being built.
