Imagine stepping into your backyard on a hot summer day and plunging into the cool, refreshing waters of your very own inground pool. The idea of having a private oasis where you can relax, exercise, and entertain friends and family is undoubtedly appealing. Not only does an inground pool enhance the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space, but it also adds value to your home. Whether you envision lazy afternoons lounging by the poolside or lively gatherings with loved ones, an inground pool can transform your backyard into a luxurious retreat. Thinking about installing an inground pool but not sure where to start? Pools Patios and Spas is here to help you navigate the exciting journey of creating your own backyard oasis.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started on your inground pool project with Pools Patios and Spas:

Each type has its own benefits and considerations, so take the time to research and choose the best option for your needs and budget.  Click here to read an honest comparison from River Pools about the three different types.
  2. Determine Your Budget: Before you start designing your pool, it’s important to establish a budget. Consider not only the cost of the pool installation but also ongoing maintenance expenses. Visit the financing page on our website to explore financing options that can make your dream pool more affordable.
  3. Choose a Pool Design: We offer a variety of pool designs to suit your style and space. Whether you prefer a classic rectangle or a freeform shape, there’s a design that’s perfect for your backyard! Click here to check out some of our most popular pools.
