Pool Cost and How to Save
If you do not want to break the bank with pool cost but you still want a pool, there are some things you can do to make sure this happens. If you plan properly, you can still get a pool that you love at a price you can live with.
#1 – Scaling Down
You may hear that bigger is always better, but that is not the case. If you can scale down the size of your pool without going so small that you defeat the purpose, you may find yourself looking at a much lower pool cost. To make sure that you are not keeping yourself from what you need to do, you should look at whey you are getting the pool. Is it for pool parties? Relaxation? Kid play?

Once you figure out what your pool is going to be used for most, take a look and see if a smaller pool is going to give you the functionality that you need to make that happen. When you install a smaller pool, this will reduce the materials, construction costs and for the long run, it will reduce maintenance costs as well.
#2 – Wait on Additional Features
When you want to cut down on pool cost, you do not want to get into additional features. While that doesn’t mean you won’t ever get additional features, the less you get upfront, the less you are going to pay. If you know about features you would like added to your pool at a later date, make sure to speak with your pool professional about those goals so they can properly place the plumbing for your future improvements. Then you can add these add-ons at any time in the future.
#3 – Start Small With Landscaping

Landscaping can be very expensive and some people do not consider it with the pool cost. It should be considered with the pool cost, however, since most homeowners are going to want a patio or deck with their pool. You may also find that you want some potted plants or rocks placed in your yard in various designs. All of these things increase the cost of your project so make sure to keep that in mind as you are moving forward.
