The crisp autumn air might not have you thinking about swimsuits and sunscreen, but for savvy homeowners in Howard County and surrounding areas, fall is the ideal season for swimming pool construction. While many people wait for the spring rush, building your pool in the off-season offers significant advantages. At Absolute Landscapes, our expert custom pool builders can begin your project this fall, ensuring your private oasis is ready for the first warm days of spring.
Key Advantages of Fall Pool Installation
As a premier swimming pool contractor in Howard County, we’ve managed countless projects and have found that fall construction provides distinct benefits for homeowners.
- Greater Scheduling Flexibility: The spring and summer months are peak season for pool installations. By scheduling your project in the fall, you can avoid the rush and benefit from more open availability, ensuring your project gets the focused attention it deserves.
- Optimal Healing Time for Your Landscape: A new pool installation inevitably disrupts the surrounding yard. A fall build allows your lawn and new landscaping months to recover and establish strong roots before the heavy use of summer. By the time you’re ready for your first pool party, your landscape will be lush and beautiful.
- Ideal Curing Conditions: The cooler, more stable temperatures of autumn are perfect for curing concrete and other masonry work. This slower curing process, as recommended by industry leaders like the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, results in a stronger, more durable, and longer-lasting pool shell and patio.
- Potential Cost Savings: Beat the annual price increases that often occur in the spring. Scheduling your swimming pool construction in the fall can help you lock in current-year pricing for materials and labor.
Be Ready for Next Season
Imagine starting next spring with a beautiful, fully functional swimming pool instead of a construction zone. A fall installation means the work is completed while you’re not using the yard, so it doesn’t interfere with your summer plans. Our professional team also appreciates the milder weather, which often leads to a more efficient and faster construction timeline.
