Swimming Pool Remodels
Series Part 4:Swimming Pool Remodels
Pools age, but unlike a fine wine, they don’t get better with age. Tiles chip and fade, plaster degrades and decking shows wear and tear.
Modern upgrades such as pool water features, rocks, waterfalls, attractive finishes and fiber-optic lighting inspire many renovations.
There are two basic levels of swimming pool renovation: new tile and plaster or a complete makeover, which often includes new plumbing and equipment. Dream Retreats landscaping will also put new pool decking on the pool which can give it new life.
Don’t forget the features! Adding pool features enhance the look and usability of your pool.
Water Features
Waterfalls and fountains are two great ways to enjoy the sound and beauty of moving water. They also provide strong focal points for your pool. A dramatic spillover or sheer water feature can be dynamic additions to an ordinary pool. Spilling over from a raised spa, rock wall, or any number of interesting places, water creates a spectacular point of interest.
Lighting
Lighting is another feature that can be added to your pool so that you can enjoy your pool into the Arizona desert nights. Underwater pool lights can provide clear or colored lighting to extend your swimming enjoyment well into the night. And fiber optic lighting can be even more delightful and can be used to emphasize other features such as waterfalls or spas. Landscape lighting brightens your pool setting for evening enjoyment. Highlight beautiful trees, shrubs, or pool features with uplights and spotlights, or light the way to romantic, secluded areas of your lawn with low-voltage pathway lights.
Digital Controls
Pool control has never been easier. With convenient digital controls, you can operate and even program your pool’s equipment without going outside. Lighting, heating, and cleaning can be controlled with the touch of a button. Additional control panels can be installed in other appropriate locations like a bathhouse.
Having a beautiful pool means having a mini-vacation every time you enter the backyard oasis. Even when your not in your pool it is a work of art that can be enjoyed.
