'The elevation of the property is something that will influence how your pool is built, as well as the cost,' says Michael Shelton of Pool Sharp. 'If your pool is on a flat surface, it will be less costly and an overall easier, more straightforward build.'
It's often possible to excavate soil and create a leveled pool deck on a slope. However, expect to add significant costs to your project, warns Michael. 'You will want to make sure your pool is built properly so that there are no structural issues down the road. After all, no one wants their pool sliding down a hill!'
