If you are considering investing in a backyard pool, one of the initial choices you will have to make is whether you opt for an in-ground or above-ground pool. It’s a decision that can significantly impact your overall experience with your pool, so we’re here to explain why we choose in-ground pools.
In-ground pools aren’t just alluring; they have many advantages over above-ground options. For most homeowners looking to make the best of their outdoor space, an in-ground pool is a longer-lasting, more elegant option.
Aesthetics and Property Value
One of the most compelling reasons to opt for an in-ground pool is its transformative effect on the aesthetics and value of your home. Unlike above-ground pools, which can sometimes appear as standalone structures, in-ground pools seamlessly integrate with the surrounding landscape, creating a harmonious and visually captivating focal point in your outdoor space. Your pool will look like your space was designed with it in mind, removing any notion that it was an afterthought.
Adding an in-ground pool can elevate the overall appeal of your property, leaving an impression on visitors and potential buyers alike. While you are unlikely to install a pool in a home you will soon leave, should you relocate down the line, your in-ground pool will attract a certain type of buyer, who like you, is discerning about their outdoor space.
Design Flexibility
In-ground pools offer design flexibility that is simply unmatched by above-ground alternatives. From the shape and size to the incorporation of unique features, in-ground pools allow you to create the pool you dream of. Whether it's a sleek and modern geometric design or a free-form pool that mirrors the landscape’s natural contours, the possibilities for personalization are virtually limitless.
You can also consider tanning ledges, vanishing edges, and other modern design elements that elevate your pool experience.
Durability and Longevity
When investing in a pool, durability and longevity are paramount considerations. In this regard, in-ground pools are durable and enduring choices. In-ground pools boast a longer lifespan than above-ground pools, often made of thinner materials that may be susceptible to wear and tear over time. This durability ensures that your in-ground pool will continue to be a cherished feature of your property for years to come, requiring minimal maintenance and offering enduring enjoyment for you and your family.
Enhanced Features and Add-Ons
In-ground pools may be a great choice on their own, but they also offer a wide array of customizations. Plenty of features and add-ons can help you customize your pool precisely to your liking. Imagine the soothing sound of a cascading waterfall, the luxury of an integrated spa, or the enchanting ambiance created by custom lighting and carefully curated landscaping elements. These enhancements transform your in-ground pool into a luxurious and personalized aquatic sanctuary tailored to your unique vision of relaxation and entertainment.
Swimming Depth and Space
If you appreciate a truly immersive swimming experience, the depth and space offered by in-ground pools set them apart from their above-ground counterparts. With greater swimming depth and overall space, in-ground pools give you and your family more room to relax and enjoy. Whether it's a refreshing morning swim or a lively poolside gathering, the generous dimensions of an in-ground pool ensure that there's always room to dive in and make a splash.
Year-Round Use and Heating Options
A pool is an investment, and we know you want to make the most of it. The traditional swimming season in Atlantic Canada may be short, but you’ll find the heating options of an in-ground pool an alluring advantage. With environmentally friendly options for heating, in-ground pools can easily extend the swimming season well into the cooler months, meaning more time for you to enjoy your outdoor space.
Customization for Diverse Terrain
The adaptability of in-ground pools to diverse terrains and landscapes makes them an ideal choice for homeowners with varying property layouts and topographical considerations. Above-ground pools often require levelling work or are limited by the geography of your backyard. In-ground pools can be expertly customized to harmonize with the natural features of your property. It can adapt to gentle slopes, uneven terrain, or unique landscaping elements or features. The end result is a cohesive and captivating outdoor space.
