DIVEIN As the temperatures hover close to 100 degrees and summer is undeniably upon us, do you dream of transforming your backyard into a refreshing retreat? Midtown Magazine consulted experts at Pool Professionals for some advice on creating a backyard oasis.
MIDTOWN MAGAZINE: How long does it take to build a backyard pool from start to finish? DAN DELEO, GENERAL MANAGER: Once you have decided on all aspects of the design of your pool, it is time to move into the construction phase. This process can take anywhere from six to 12 weeks, depending on the complexity of your plans. MM: How much space do I need in my backyard to comfortably build a pool without it feeling crowded? DD: Custom pools can be designed to fit almost any yard. A skilled pool designer can work with you to accommodate established trees, bushes and boulders; to work with the slope of your yard; and to maximize your pool and deck areas. MM: What is the smallest size you build? DD: We love that we can completely customize the size, shape, depth and other features. Our designers will help you decide on the pool size, shape and design that best fits your space and accommodates any special needs dictated by your property.
