If you are looking into remodeling your backyard to make it more personalized to your wants and needs, this is an excellent idea! This will help you to enjoy your backyard even more and provide you with so many possibilities. One thing that you should definitely incorporate into your backyard remodel is a pool. Here are three great reasons why.

When you want to beat the South Texas heat, there’s nothing like a dip in a refreshing pool. And, when you have a pool in your own yard, you can soak at your leisure. Lap pools are an excellent option for any home. These pools are great for swimming, but they’re also just as refreshing as standard pools.

The process of designing your pool is one that is super fun and exciting. However, it is also one where a lot of decisions must be made. This is essentially the final step before the actual building of the pool, so you want to make sure that you have a vision in your head of what you want, so that your designer can make it a reality for you. Here are two important questions to ask yourself when designing your custom pool.

So, what do the words ‘swimming pool’ bring to mind for you? You probably answered, relaxing therapy, entertaining, exercise and a whole lot of summertime fun. From family gatherings, outdoor picnics, parties and events, the list of activities you can enjoy goes on and on. Though a swimming pool can certainly help set the stage for your own backyard oasis where you can relax with family, take in the sun, and enjoy a daytime or nighttime swim, it can also enhance your lifestyle and improve your overall health.

The concrete surrounding your swimming pool might be the most noticeable feature about your swimming pool other than the color of the water. Yet, despite the importance of the concrete, it is taken for granted and not placed high on the priority list. Adding decorative concrete, however, will make those long, lazy summer days spent reclining poolside in a chaise lounge more enjoyable. Who wants to look at stained concrete that looks more like the concrete of a public pool on Labor Day? Your backyard, your sanctuary, and your downtime deserve better than that.
