5 Steps To Building a New Swimming Pool in Minneapolis St. Paul, MN

When you consider seriously putting a swimming pool in your backyard, it’s time to decide the design, materials, equipment, time frame and cost. Many choices go into building an in-ground pool that will match your water recreation and entertainment ideas, and sometimes, they can be confusing. Making the wrong choices will not only affect the cost but also its long-term performance.

Getting started is easy, though. For over 40 years, the experienced designers at our top-rated Minnesota pool company have helped many Twin Cities metro area homeowners install the pool of their dreams. We’re always ready to help you make all the decisions based on your requirements and budget.

• 

  Choose the Construction Material

  The materials used to construct your new swimming pool affect the pool’s cost, durability, and installation time. In Minnesota, vinyl pools are the most affordable and popular choice. Their beauty, durability, and quick installation are some of the reasons why homeowners go with this choice. Available in various shapes, sizes, and beautiful designs, vinyl in-ground pools are an excellent choice for many homes.

• 

  Choose Your Pool’s Shape and Size

  The size and shape of your pool should match your needs and the available space on your property. They should allow plenty of surrounding space to accommodate decking, other amenities, and room for you and your guests. See our Swimming Pool Photos pages for a wide range of possibilities. Popular shapes include:

  • Rectangular Swimming Pools – These classic designs are among the most popular. They are available in sizes that fit almost any backyard. Rectangular in-ground pools also keep the initial cost low and can be installed quickly.
  • L-Shaped Swimming Pools – This shape is popular with families. It allows multiple uses for the pool for adults and children alike. They’re great for entertaining, too, offering plenty of poolside space for all sorts of activities.
  • Oval Swimming Pools – The classic oval-shaped pool, or variations of it, such as kidney-shaped and figure 8 shapes, provides visual interest to your swimming pool and its surrounding area.
  • Custom Shapes – Your new pool can be designed and built in various shapes that match your creative ideas. There’s no limit to what the design and construction experts at our Minneapolis swimming pool company can build.
• 

  Choose the Technology

  Swimming pools require pumps, filters, heaters, water purification equipment, and more. We will help you select the right equipment to suit your needs and budget, featuring top-quality Hayward products, but here are some basic choices to think about:

  • Standard Technology – When your swimming pool budget is at the top of your priority list, choosing standard, high-quality equipment can help to keep your initial cost low. The tradeoff is spending more time on maintenance than with more automated technology.
  • Automated Technology – Today’s advanced technology can give you almost complete freedom from many maintenance chores. A fully automated swimming pool maximizes enjoyment and minimizes chores like cleaning, water purification, and more.
• 

  Choose Optional Features

  The key to maximum enjoyment from your swimming pool is in the details. Adding amenities and unique features can make your aquatic recreation experience even more satisfying:

  • Lighting – For evenings spent around the pool, lighting, both above and below the water, can add beauty and drama.
  • Accessories – From water slides for youngsters and the young at heart to automatic safety covers, diving boards, and much more, these additions add enjoyment and fun.

• Surrounding Area

  The area around your in-ground pool is almost as important. Your choices of decking and other finishing touches give you complete control over the look of your backyard and make your swimming pool area unique. Some of your options include:

  • Concrete Decking – This can create a smooth transition with multiple color choices.
  • Tile Decking – This popular decking material offers many appearances and textures. There’s no limit to the design possibilities for a tiled decking area.
  • Landscaping and Fencing – The sky’s the limit in creating your poolside environment with plantings, fencing, and other enhancements.
