—POOLS—
Imagine yourself at your favorite family vacation spot during summertime. The warm sun is shining on your face as you relax in a comfortable lounge chair with your feet in the water, sipping a cool drink and reading a book. You can hear the joyful sounds of children playing in the water nearby. Suddenly, you look up from your book and realize that you are not on vacation at all, it's Saturday afternoon, and you are in your own backyard!
Pools are gradually becoming a integral part of the landscape in the Midwest, as Americans aim to spend more time outside and be closer to nature. There are several benefits to owning a pool, including family recreation, entertainment, health, and relaxation. With advancements in maintenance technologies, such as chlorination systems and auto covers, owning a pool has become less labor-intensive. Additionally, pool heaters can significantly extend the pool season in our climate.
There are three main types of pools to consider: fiberglass, liner, and concrete pools.
Fiberglass pools are gaining popularity due to their low maintenance and durability, but their design options may be limited due to the transportation of the fiberglass shell.
Liner pools are more customizable than fiberglass pools, but they usually require more maintenance and need their liner replaced every 5-10 years.
Concrete pools offer a sense of permanence, are highly durable, and are infinitely customizable. However, they require more maintenance than fiberglass pools and are the most costly to install.
Regardless of the type of pool you choose, you have the opportunity to create a backyard paradise. At Brookside, we can help you with the entire installation process from concept to completion. We can assist in deciding the best location and layout for your pool, as well as help create spaces surrounding the pool. Paver pool decks are an excellent choice because they provide a non-slip surface that is both beautiful and durable. Other options, such as water features that interact with the pool, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, seat walls, and fire features, are just a few of the amenities we can provide to help complete your dream backyard paradise.
