Is there truly anything more beautiful than your new swimming pool? The best swimming pool builders in Champaign, Illinois really don’t think so, but they offer tips on how to enhance the swimming pool experience! There are a few steps you can take and a few items that can be added as part of the overall pool construction project that will add to the enjoyment you get when you’re not only in the pool, but spending time around the pool.
Many pool owners don’t stop to think about how much time they will spend around the swimming pool, but they should! It’s likely you will relax poolside more than you will be in the pool itself. Sure, you will relax, then jump into the pool, then get out and relax again, but we bet you will spend more time poolside than swimming.
A swimming pool construction project is the ideal time to improve the entire look and functionality of your backyard. Consider including amenities and other features when the pool is being constructed. When you add these amenities (and others) during the construction project you may save money and you will also find a more unified, functional space.
Talk with us before you put the finishing touches on the pool construction project and let’s talk about items that will complement the pool and give you a more comfortable space to relax poolside and to enhance the pool party experience for friends and family.
How to enhance the swimming pool experience
Here are some ideas to spark your imagination during your pool construction project:
- The hardscape. This is the area surrounding the swimming pool. Hardscape includes the patio, outdoor living space, pool house, pool deck. The pool safety fence (which can be decorative as well as functional). Hardscape can also include any planters you use to decorate and add to the privacy of the pool area and outdoor living space.
- Consider a grill or outdoor kitchen space. You can have an island grill installed that will be a cooking and seating space surrounding the grill itself. The island grill can be equipped with a sink, grill, even an oven — depending on how much you want to dress it up. An outdoor kitchen is a more robust and functional space than an island grill. We have installed outdoor kitchens complete with grill, stovetop, refrigerator, sink, oven, dishwasher, cupboards, seating and cooking space and much more. Talk with us about your pool budget and about how you want to use the outdoor space. Those will be determining factors in how much you put into the project.
Think about where your guests will sit when they’re simply relaxing and where they will sit to enjoy meals when they are outdoors. Gauge how many people you may have at one time and then decide if you need an outdoor space that will accommodate that many people all the time or only on occasion then construct it from then.
