Have you always wanted a pool in your backyard but thought that perhaps you did not have room or you could not afford it? There may be a solution, and you could be swimming in your backyard in a matter of months.
Why you need a pool
There are endless benefits to having a pool. Of course it is great for when friends and family are over, a great place to cool off in the summer and a cure for boredom. Pools also offer great exercise and a cardiovascular workout that is easy on the joints and bones. In addition it is an excellent investment, increasing the value of your home. There is nothing better than getting out of the house and out in the sun for a healthy and fun swim in your very own backyard.
Custom pools for oddly shaped or small yards
Unfortunately many think that they cannot have a pool in their backyard, either because they feel their yard is too small or because it is oddly shaped. This is where custom pool designs by a qualified landscaper come in. A landscape design company is able to create a custom pool to fit nearly any yard. Oddly shaped pools, with curved corners and other uncommon features is less difficult and less costly to install than you may think. Generally these types of pools do not take much longer, if any longer at all, to install than a regularly shaped pool. You’ll be amazed how much room you actually had in your yard for a pool, once the professionals are finished installing it. Landscapers keep a number of factors in mind as they design your pool to ensure functionality, ensuring it is placed in such a way that it will be convenient to use without getting in the way of other highlights of your yard.
Benefits of a custom pool
Custom pools are not only for smaller yards or yards with odd shapes. A custom pool is perfect for any home. They are more visually appealing and there are many additions you can add to a custom pool. You can add waterfalls, create a look to fit a specific theme like a tropical getaway, some custom pools even include water slides. The possibilities are almost endless. Many even choose to have a pool installed indoors or to build a covering for the pool.
For any of these options however, it is essential you only hire a reputable and talented professional. You want your pool finished in a timely manner, without too many delays and without hidden costs.
Cost
Many don’t think they can afford a custom pool, today however with updates in technology and the availability of materials it may not be as costly as you think. In some instances a custom pool may even be priced competitively with stock design options offered by some pool installation companies.
Hire the professionals
Getting a pro is vital, no matter what type of pool you are looking for. Be sure to only hire a reputable long island swimming pool company with experience installing all types of custom pools.

The in-ground swimming pool has become an integral component of the stay-cation backyard. For most homeowners, the pool represents a place to get away from it all and a source of relaxation- a paradise in one’s own backyard. However, no paradise is complete without plantings for they provide lushness, color and fragrance and help to an atmosphere. Plantings soften the harsh lines created by paving materials, create privacy and shade where needed and give depth and dimension to the entire yard. A view from a window inside the house can look onto a very spectacular landscape vignette rather than a pool wearing its winter cover.
The palette of plants for your yard depends on your sense of style- formal or casual, traditional or contemporary. There are a multitude of plants on today’s market which require very little maintenance in order to look their best. For plants closest to the pool, select those which will not drop leaves or flower petals into the water such as annuals and perennials. For profuse color at the middle level of planting include some ever-blooming roses such as Knock-Out, Spireas and early and late blooming Hydrangeas. The unique foliage of ornamental grasses, hydrangeas and ferns provide strong textural contrast between different plant groupings. To establish privacy, include some tall evergreens and tall deciduous flowering plants. One such deciduous plant is the Crape Myrtle, whose long season of bloom, vibrant fall color and exfoliating exquisite bark make it a triple blessing in the yard.

Hi Scott,
The Gappsi Masons have done a fine job placing the stone around my pool area. I was hoping to blow out the lines and winterize my pool today.
I ran into some confusion when looking at the new configuration of the plumbing and valve set up.
I also had an opening available where I used to pour Pool line anti-freeze which has been removed. Perhaps its not necessary, but I’d like someone to please instruct me how to proceed.
It appears to be quite different to what I’ve become accustomed. I would appreciate it if you or one of your service crew would swing by here and give me a heads up regarding blowing out the lines.
after all this was a major investment and I can’t risk not doing things properly. I need your assistance.
Thanks,
Jack
