Landscaping also plays an integral role in the appearance of natural pools. Wason recommends hiring a landscaper who understands natural landscaping. A natural pool needs less structure in its landscape than typical subdivision landscaping. In order to produce a cohesive look, landscape designers and pool designers should work together and simultaneously. In fact, it is wise to have all subcontractors consulting each other, including irrigation and lighting professionals.
Prices vary according to region of the country, pool size, depth and features.
The South offers the most competitive pricing due to the high demand for pools. Also, if your property is flat and your dream is to have a long waterfall cascading down a hill, it will be more costly to create that slope than to build around the existing terrain. The good news is that today's pools are easier to maintain. Floor cleaning systems eliminate the labor that was necessary in the past. However, maintaining the correct balance of chlorine in pools that contain rock can be a challenge, as algae tend to grow on rocks.
