If you’re thinking about adding a pool to your property, there’s no need to wait until spring or summer to begin construction. In fact, wintertime pool construction has unique benefits for homeowners who live in moderate climates. Here are a few of the most compelling perks to consider. 

Why Should You Have Your Pool Installed in the Winter?

1. Provide Plenty of Time 

When pool construction begins in the winter, there’s no need to work against an aggressive deadline to ensure you get a chance to swim before cooler weather sets in. Winter construction allows for plenty of time for planning, permits, and construction. This means you can take your time deciding on every detail of your pool, making sure that it’s perfectly aligned with your vision. You’ll also have a buffer for any delays that could occur, such as if the permit takes longer to process than expected.  

2. Enjoy a Full Swim Season

There’s certainly nothing wrong with pool construction that begins in the spring or summer. However, it will likely shorten your first swim season. When you begin in the winter, your pool will be swim-ready by the time the first hot days arrive. In other words, you’ll get more out of your investment from the very start with the ability to enjoy a full season during your very first year of owning a pool.

3. Allow Landscaping to Grow In

Pool construction will naturally disrupt your landscape to some degree. Machinery will be driven over your property, and a good portion of your yard surrounding the pool may need new grass seed or sod to restore what gets dug up. Fortunately, having your pool built in the winter will give your landscape a chance to grow back in during the spring growth cycle. You can even incorporate other landscaping elements around your pool, such as small trees or shrubbery, for added privacy.
