With land sizes in Canada getting smaller and house footprints increasing, access to backyards in new home developments is tight. In some council areas, new homes can sit just 450mm less than two feet off the boundary. That doesn’t leave much room (if any) for a mini excavator to gain access! Installing a pool on a vacant lot before you build your new home is fast and very cost-effective. If you’ve bought a vacant lot in a new home development and chosen your dream home, now is the time to contact your local Narellan Pools pool builder to discuss your dream fibreglass pool. A pool can be installed in the backyard of your new-build before construction starts. It’s much cheaper to install a pool in new home developments than negotiating parked-out streets, oversized cranes and a mini excavator later on. Installing your pool before construction starts means you’ll avoid access issues, and your new pool will be ready to swim in the day you move into your new home! 8 reasons why you must contact your local Narellan Pools pool builder when planning your new home 1. You’ll only need a single planning submission to go to your local council. Installing your dream pool after you move in will require a separate permit, adding additional costs. 2. Every property has a finite amount of backyard space. When you start with a blank slate, you can prioritize the layout of your property and allocate the perfect amount of space to the pool and surrounding area. Planning will expand your choices and ensure you consider everything from the filter equipment storage area, heat pump location and the number of garden taps. 3. You can avoid the issue of having to pay for soil removal. Landscapers may use the dirt removed from the pool’s location to backfill retaining walls and create garden beds. 4. With clear access, you’ll avoid the need (and cost) of a crane to lift the pool over your new house. The pool can often be moved directly from the delivery truck into its hole by an excavator. 5. All the groundwork and placing of the pool will be complete before your move-in date. Your sleeper pool will be covered and protected by a fence. Once your builder completes the main build, all you need to do is remove the temporary fence and complete your landscaping. 6. When building a new home, it pays to buy in bulk. Incorporating a pool into the design early on in the process and the pool build occurs in tandem with the house, you’ll save money on concrete, tiles and turf. You’ll also seamlessly incorporate your pool area to compliment your new home design. If you wait a few years, tiles may get discontinued, leaving certain design elements feeling disjointed. 7. With installed at the same time as your new home build, you’ll only need to landscape your backyard once! 8. If you wait until after you move in, you’ll have to wait for Narellan Pools to build your pool shell, have it installed, and wait again for the landscaping to be complete before your dream backyard is ready for you and your family to enjoy. If your pool is already installed your landscapers can complete your pool area with the rest of your backyard – no more waiting (or nagging kids!). The new home-building phase is the perfect time to install a pool. With the help of your local Narellan Pools pool builder, you’ll build a pool that aligns with your lifestyle, budget and dream backyard design.
