The swimming pool contractors from Imperial Pools, the best pool builders in Champaign, Illinois explain you can have a swimming pool: no matter what size your yard as long as you work with a swimming pool contractor who understands the subtle nuances of design and construction and landscaping for optimal pool effect.
If you have always wanted a swimming pool, but worried that you didn’t have enough yard space, you can rest assured your pool contractor can help you realize your pool ownership dream. Even if you have a large yard, it’s important to properly place the pool to make the most of the yard space available.
You can have a swimming pool: No matter what size your yard
In many areas of the country yards are getting smaller and smaller because the availability of open land is decreasing and property is at a premium. Don’t despair, though, you can have a pool even in a smallish yard. Ask us about lap pools or splash pools. A lap pool is just want it sounds like — a long “lap” sized swimming pool. A splash pool is essentially a small, round pool that mimicks the look of a fish pond. It doesn’t take up much space and is ideal for a quick soak.
Have your pool constructed adjacent to the house. This will help conserve space, allow you to have both a pool and grassy or treed areas past the swimming pool. If you have an outdoor kitchen, install a swim-up pool style that will be adjacent to the outdoor cooking space and you can incorporate an outdoor living area next to the outdoor kitchen and keep your outdoor living contained to one area of the yard.
If you have a large yard you need to decide — how much of a focal point do you want the pool; how much landscaping do you want around the pool, whether you want the pool to be in a secluded area of the yard or if you want it to take up the entire yard and leave you with little grassy space (hey, it cuts back on mowing!) You can certainly be more creative when you have a large yard in which to construct your wimming pool. Think about the layout. Ask your pool contractor if he can give you a birds-eye view of your yard (this is important for small yard owners as well) so you can get a better idea of what the yard will look like with a pool in it.
When it comes to pool ownership and having the pool of your dreams constructed, there really is no right or wrong answer. Know your family and its lifestyle and how you want to enjoy your pool and work with us to make it happen.
