How to Start Your Backyard Pool Design

A backyard pool has many benefits, including adding value of your home, creating a space for your family to spend time together, and accessible way to exercise. Utah’s climate does require seasonal landscaping considerations like the grass, trees, flowers, and gardens or the use of an outdoor patio or kitchen. Although great landscaping additions to have, they may not be available all twelve months of the year. A pool and/or hot tub on the other hand can last the entire year with the right maintenance. 

If you are considering a backyard pool design, there are factors to keep in mind such as zoning laws, the type of pool you want, circulation systems, water features, lighting, landscaping, and budget. Getting from the start of the project to lounging in your backyard pool may seem like a long haul. That is why a full-service landscape company is a must when starting a backyard pool project. Land Design by Armstrong will ensure that you are in the hands of highly qualified professionals using top materials. We will work on your pool design from the moment we arrive at your onsite consultation to the day your family jumps in the water.

A Land Design by Armstrong landscape contractor will visit your backyard to take in a few considerations such as existing landscaping, size, and other landscape features that would benefit your lifestyle. From there, our landscape designers can create a 3-D pool design that includes additional water features like fountains, waterfalls, slides, and an add-on spa, you name it. As well as lighting features, a must! Additional landscaping and hardscaping designs like a pergola, outdoor kitchen, outdoor fireplace, grass, trees, privacy landscaping, paving walkways, natural stone paths, and more can all be done in your 3-D design layout. When you thought your 3-D design would just be of a pool, wait until you see that it’s of the potential for your entire backyard. Your pool design needs to be functional for the rest of your backyard space to ensure you receive both enjoyment and safety. Once your 3-D design is approved, materials will be sourced and once Land Design by Armstrong breaks ground, we are committed to the completion of your project. 

If pool design has factors for medical reasons there is a chance your pool could be tax deductible. There are many benefits of aquatic exercise for arthritis, osteoporosis, and chronic pain. We recommend discussing with both your doctor and CPA if a pool design for medical purposes is right for you. According to Tax Shark, “You will need documentation from your provider as proof the pool is necessary for the medical home improvement exemption.”  link: https://taxsharkinc.com/swimming-pool-tax-deduction/#:~:text=If%20installation%20costs%20are%20more,your%20personal%20income%20tax%20return.
