The pool decision process may seem easy; but when you realize you would like something other than a rectangle with three feet of concrete around the edges, there are A LOT of decisions to make.
You'll have to think about size, shape, type of water, maintenance systems and more. You'll have to ask yourself questions like: do you love to entertain and will your pool have to accommodate large groups of people? Do you want beautiful landscaping to compliment your pool, or would you rather have your basic lawn for kids to play in? Maybe both, with a plenty of extras like fire pits for extra fun? What about a diving board, waterslide, or a ladder? What about a pool drain?
