So you have made the choice to have a pool for your home. Great! Now comes the part where you need to decide whether or not you want an above ground pool or an inground one.

When you reach out to us, we can review these and other points to consider before moving forward with the pool installation. We will weigh the pros and cons to help you make an informed decision. On top of that, we can provide you a fair and accurate estimate regarding the type of pool you want installed in your home's backyard.
About Above Ground Pools
An above ground pool is a semi-permanent structure between four and six feet deep with a diameter of between 12 and 30 feet. Above ground pools are known for being relatively cheap, fairly easy to assemble, and provide seasonal enjoyment for all families. Basically, the pool for the family on a budget. However, there can also be circumstances that exist where an inground pool is simply not an option.
About Inground Pools
An inground pool is one that gets put in the ground, so it is not sticking up out of the lawn. Instead, pool installers will excavate an opening for the pool to be poured into, so that it opens flush with the rest of the yard. An inground pool is viewed as an attainable luxury and will provide you and your family years of reliable service.
Customization of In-Ground Pools vs Above Ground Pools
When you mix and match design elements, it is possible to create a unique, dazzling pool that reflects your sense of style. However, shape, color, and liner patterns are not the only details that will impact the look or functionality of the pool. Many pool installations have the ability to customize around the pool, so it better suits your aesthetics. At Fire Island Property Management, we can help design an in-ground or above ground pool.
Above Ground Pool Customization
When you opt for an above ground pool, the customization options are limited. These pools deliver on the fun, but offer minimal flexibility. Other than the liner of the pool, only a few elements of an above ground pool can be custom designed. This eliminates the possibility of swim up bars, waterfalls, fire features, and most of the other common add-ons you see with an inground pool. With that in mind, you may be able to customize your above ground pool with simple features, like different types of lighting or heaters.
Inground Pool Customization
When it comes to an in-ground pool, the customization options are near endless. Get different sizes, styles, finishes, and accessories to help customize your in-ground pool that suits your yard and the surrounding landscape. With an inground pool, you have more control over the pool's finished look and overall value. Many of these custom options are easy to find and will increase the beauty and functionality of the pool by adding, updating or replacing other features. Here are some common elements of an inground pool customization:
- energy-efficient LED lighting
- fire pits
- flower planters
- sheer descent water features
- pool covers
- pool steps
- attached spas
- grotto additions
- tanning ledges
