1. 6 ESSENTIAL STEPS TO
BUILDING YOUR DREAM
SWIMMING POOL

2. Thinking of investing in a swimming pool for your property?

3. Crystal Blue Waters
 Homeowners are now looking for
ways to create a perfect getaway right
at their yard. It’s a practical choice.
You get to eliminate the need to block
schedules and book for flights and
hotels. Add to that, your property
value also increases.
 And since a vacation would not be
complete without dipping into crystal
blue waters, swimming pools make
for a wonderful addition to your very
own outdoor living space.

4. Designing and Building a Swimming
Pool
 However, requires careful
planning. From the design to
the pool construction itself, the
key to making the process
easier is to start ahead of time.
 In this article, we’ll walk you
through the basic steps
involved in building a pool. It
would be beneficial for you, as
the homeowner, to know this.

6. Creating the Design
 You need to work with a
professional landscape designer
on this part, although doing
your own research also helps.
 Look for inspirations online
that you deem fitting of your
yard size and style. And then
talk to your designer later on
about integrating these details
to the final pool design.

7. Securing Permit
 Avoid unnecessary delays.
Coordinate with your local
government about the permit
you need to secure.
 Discuss this as well with your
landscaping partner. City
policies should be clear to
everyone before starting out
with the construction.

8. Building the Pool
 Once the design is ready and you’re done
obtaining permit, then your landscaping
company can now proceed to excavating
the yard. With proper equipment or
machinery and of course, skilled
workers, this can be completed in a day.
 As to the soil removed, you can request
to have it placed in another area in your
yard. After the digging, the steel
reinforcement can now be installed
along all sides and floor of the pool.
These steel rods will serve as your pool’s
strong skeleton so it stays durable and
tough.

9. Laying Down Drains and Piping
 Next step is to install all drains
and piping required along with
electrical components needed.
 At this point, make sure that
someone from the landscaping
team does a thorough check on
the site to ensure quality.
 This part is critical (any error
may pose a threat to safety) so
do coordinate with your pool
builders too.

10. Adding Cement, Placing Tiles
 Next part of the project is adding the
cement. This is done by ‘shooting’
cement on the walls of the pool using a
hose.
 Once this is finished, the pool must be
left to dry for approximately seven days.
During this period, see to it that you
water the concrete several times a day
to prevent cracking.
 Once the cement is dry, your pool
builders can now focus on the tile work.
Tile patterns to be used should have
been decided right at the planning
stage.

11. Finally, Completing The Pool Interior
 The last step is finishing the
final look of your pool. Again,
there are several choices
available that suit your personal
preferences.
 Work closely with your
landscaping company to make
sure your pool is done just the
way you’ve imagined it, or
maybe a lot better even.
