What Exactly Does Pool Service Entail?

When homeowners dream of having their own backyard pool paradise, one of the questions they may ask themselves is, “how am I going to take care of it?” Indeed, opting to have a concrete in-ground pool installed on your property is a rewarding experience, but it does require upkeep and maintenance. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t make your dreams become a reality, though! There are many forms of pool service that allow you to enjoy your water entertainment area without any hassle or stress.

Some homeowners may only have one thought that comes to mind when they hear “pool service” – cleaning and maintenance. But pool service is actually a broader spectrum that entails a variety of pool initiatives. Pool service ranges from repairs and renovation to inspections and opening. As long as you take care of your backyard paradise landscape properly, it will last for years to come. When you need pool service performed on your pool, simply give us a ring at Carlton Pools and we will arrange for what your pool needs.  

Take Care of Your Pool

With a maintenance agreement, you never have to worry about your pool being maintained and cleaned. A pool technician arrives on the premises to clean and maintain your pool on a routine basis. If your pool becomes damaged from neglect, wear and tear, or old age, you can have it examined and renovated by a pool professional. Don’t forget, you’ll also want to make sure your new pool is properly closed in the wintertime and opened in the summertime to avoid weathering.    

While many pool companies may only specialize in one service area, at Carlton Pools, we are versatile in multiple pool services. Rather than have to go to a handful of pool companies to have your pool serviced, Carlton Pools is your one-stop shop for everything. Our topnotch customer service lets you know that you are important to us as our customer. Whatever you need for your custom pool, we can provide. You can check out our successful work in the Carlton Pools video testimonials section of our website.

New Van on the Block!

Carlton Pools would like to announce we have added a new edition to the family – the fleet family that is! We recently acquired a Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo Van and decked it out with a pool-themed wrap that will make a splash out on the streets. We thought it’d be nice to share some photos of the van’s new home with some of the older trucks in the yard!

Planting Ideas for Your Pool Landscape

One of the great benefits of constructing a pool landscape is the fact that homeowners can make the project unique to their property. There are so many options when it comes to choosing the features of a pool landscape. Whatever your paradise vision is, it can become a reality with us at Carlton Pools. As you plan your pool, the first features of your oasis that you consider may be the aquatic amenities, such as a hot tub, waterfall or fountain. But your landscape is not complete without some greenery to create a gorgeous outdoor scenery. Selecting the plants for your pool landscape can be a little tricky, since there are many plants that do not survive near a poolside.

Part of the fun in designing your backyard pool area is creating a personal aquatic space that looks the way you want it to look. As one of the leading swimming pool companies in the Chester County, PA area, we design and install custom pools that can create a gorgeous backyard landscape. We understand the importance of poolside greenery and plants, so we often refer our customers to our landscape connections, who can assist with selecting the right greenery for pool landscapes. We work with our clients on a personal level to understand their pool needs and help them with their decision-making process for their custom pool design. To hear about our pool building accounts first-hand, check out our Carlton Pools video testimonials.

Although we do not provide planting landscape services, we have gathered up a few tips from our landscaping company partners to help guide you with your pool landscape design. We put together a few tips to follow when choosing your poolside plants and shrubbery.

Use portable potted plants – Potted plants offer a mobile solution for decorating with greenery, whether they are clustered together or placed separately.

Put in a plant bed – A plant bed can easily transform a section of the patio into a beautiful scenic area.

Be frugal with grass – Too much grass can be a hassle to maintain and may cause dirt to scatter across the patio.

Consider debris and insects – Do not select plants that bear fruit, attract bugs or have thorns to ensure a pleasant and safe atmosphere around your pool.

Five Things to Do to Prepare Your Yard for a Pool Landscape

So, you’ve already decided to transform your backyard into an aquatic oasis. Perhaps you already have an idea of what type of in-ground pool you want to have, and what shape you would prefer. However, the first thing to planning for pool construction is to analyze your yard. If you don’t examine the features of your property, you may run into obstacles when it comes to installing your new paradise. Our main goal at Carlton Pools is to help families create an amazing oasis for their residence where they can spend their summer enjoying fun and entertainment. As a family-owned business of over 40 years, we understand that your in-ground pool landscape should be nothing short of the vision you have for your personal utopia.

We want your summer to truly be a time of good company and fun in the sun! We have a vast experience in pool construction, so we aim to educate our customers on some helpful tips to preparing their property for their dream pool area. There are numerous aspects to consider regarding having a pool installed and the surrounding area landscaped. We at Carlton Pools have come up with a few guidelines to remember when making your pool decisions.

1.      Be Aware of the Construction Time Frame

Depending on what pool type you choose, it is going to take a period of time for construction to be complete. During this time, your yard will be dug up and in disarray as the builders create your in-ground pool and landscape. The length of time it takes to install a pool landscape may take longer than you thought, depending on the choices you make.

2.      Have Your Utilities Located

Before pool construction can begin, you must request that your local utility company identify where your utilities are located, such as the water line, gas line and electric line. This will prevent property damage from happening due to pool construction. Knowing exactly where your household utilities are placed in your yard will allow the builders to avoid the area. The placement of your pool and the layout of the pool design are created to avoid the area of the utilities.

3.      Obtain Necessary Permits

Before construction begins, make sure you obtain the construction permit required, if your community requests that you have one.

4.      Know the Pennsylvania Pool Fencing Laws

The pool fencing laws that are put into place for child safety vary from state to state. To find out what your state and area require for safety precautions, consult with your town’s building inspector. In addition, the safety requirements for your community may also require landscaping specifications to ensure a hazard-free water zone. It is highly recommended to incorporate extra safety features onto your residence in time for your pool to be complete, such as gated locks and an alarm system.

5.      Inspect the Areas with Plants and Sunlight

When you examine your property in preparation for your new pool landscape, take the trees, shrubbery, and sunlight into consideration. You may need to remove a tree or two to let more sunlight into your pool landscape. Keeping the pool area away from the trees will also minimize the amount of debris that falls into the water.

Providing outstanding customer service is our goal, which is why we choose to work closely with our clients.
