The Best Time to Build a Swimming Pool
Plan Smart, Swim Sooner
When planning to build a swimming pool in North Texas, timing is everything! Weather conditions, demand, and even material costs can vary throughout the year, impacting both the cost and timeline of your project. Here’s an overview of the best times to build a pool to help you maximize savings and start enjoying your new pool sooner.
Fall and Winter are Ideal Seasons
Milder Weather
Fall and winter bring cooler, more predictable weather, which reduces weather-related delays. With fewer interruptions, your project can progress smoothly, getting your pool ready before the next summer season.
Shorter Wait Times
Pool builders experience less demand during these months, meaning quicker project starts and shorter completion times. Contractors often have more availability, allowing you to work with the builder of your choice.
Potential Savings
Since demand is lower, pool builders may offer off-season discounts on services and materials. Starting your project in the fall or winter can help you take advantage of cost savings and lock in lower rates.
Researching Financing Options
Exploring financing options is key to making your pool project affordable without overextending your budget. Options like personal loans, home equity loans, pool-specific financing, and cash-out refinancing offer flexible terms, varying interest rates, and customized solutions for pool construction. Compare rates and terms to find the best fit for your needs. Reach out to Foley Pools for guidance on the right financing to make your pool dreams a reality.

Unexpected Pool Building Costs
Size
We've designed and built pools of all shapes and sizes. The bigger ones cost more than the smaller ones
Rock Charge
Every job has a set amount of time for the dig; if we hit rock, it can make the dig take longer and cost more
Excavation Access
If there isn't enough space for the proper machinery, construction can take longer than normal
Yard Elevation
Ideally your yard's ground would be perfectly level. If there is slope or rise, we make it level for the pool
Utility Locations
The location of your utilities can affect pool costs by causing things like gas line, electric, or septic re-routes
Path/Deck Demolition
If you have concrete pathways, decks, or other landscape obstructions it can affect construction cost
