1. What makes a pool a "luxury" pool?
A luxury pool goes beyond a standard backyard swimming pool. These upscale installations often feature premium materials like glass tile, exotic stone, and high-end finishes. Luxury pools also incorporate unique design elements such as vanishing edges, waterfalls, decks, swim-up bars, and integrated hot tubs. Moreover, they're often part of a larger outdoor living environment, including full kitchens, outdoor lounge areas, BBQs, fire pits, and more.
2. How long does it take to build a luxury pool?
The timeline for building a luxury pool varies greatly depending on the project's complexity. Generally, it takes 3 to 6 months from design to completion. Remember, a luxury pool is a significant construction project that involves planning, excavation, construction, and landscaping. Our team at Xtreme Pools & Hardscapes works diligently to ensure every detail is perfect, and that can take time.
3. What type of maintenance is required for a luxury pool?
Luxury pool maintenance is similar to a standard pool but with a few additional considerations due to the high-end materials and features. Regular tasks include cleaning, testing, and adjusting chemical levels, inspecting equipment, and clearing debris. Luxury features like waterfalls, fountains, and hot tubs may need additional care. It's also crucial to periodically check and maintain the pool's aesthetic elements, like tiling and decking. To simplify these tasks, many luxury pool owners opt for professional maintenance services. Be sure to read more about maintaining your luxury pool here.
