Pool Design Process

Summerhill Pools Design Process

When you choose to get a new pool for your Dallas home from Summerhill Pools, we start with an in-depth design process. This process makes sure that you end up with the exact pool that you’ve been envisioning. Our team of experts will walk you through the Summerhill Pools design process, which takes your input into account and also factors in certain practical aspects, such as how much square footage your yard has and what the layout of your property is like. Below, you’ll learn more about our design process so that you’ll have a better idea of what to expect when designing your pool with a Summerhill expert.

Initial Appointment with Pool Designer

Our pool design process begins with an initial appointment with a Summerhill Pools designer. During this first meeting, you’ll be able to discuss your pool design wants and needs. For example, you can let us know what type of pool you’re thinking of getting, how large it needs to be, and whether or not you would like to add any features to it, such as lights or water features. You can show our designer sketches you’ve made or photos of pool designs you really like Houzz, Pinterest, Instagram, or other websites.

Our designer will take your ideas into consideration when creating your pool design. You can also let us know what your budget is so that we can help you stay within it. This is a very important part of the process. Our designers want to design a pool that fits your budget as well as your yard. We want to come back to you with the perfect pool design.

During this initial meeting, we will analyze your property by verifying the actual measurements and dimensions against those on the provided Property Survey. This ensures that our plans are accurately scaled for a precise design. The designer will measure your yard and assess the property layout to develop a pool design that best fits your space.

Pool Design Reveal

Following your initial consultation with our designer, we will schedule a design reveal meeting, usually within three to five days. During this presentation, you’ll see a 3D rendering of your outdoor living space, created with advanced pool design software. The 3D blueprint makes it easier to visualize how your pool will look in your backyard compared to a traditional 2D plan.

The design presentation is an interactive meeting where minor adjustments to your project can be made on the spot, allowing you to see how these changes impact the overall design immediately. For more significant modifications, a follow-up appointment with our designer will be necessary.

After you have viewed your pool design and made any changes, you can let our designer know whether or not you approve of the overall design. When you’re satisfied that the pool design is the one you want, you can move onto the next step in our Summerhill Pools design process, which is discussing your contract and budget for your new pool.

Material Selection Phase of Pool Design

During this phase we’ll meet in our showroom to confirm selection of your finishes for your pool.  We’ll discuss the various components including the decking around the pool, plaster, coping and tile.

We’ll go over your options with you so that you can choose the most suitable finishes to match your design choices while also protecting every part of your pool from damage. If you have any concerns or questions about the finishes, our designer can discuss them with you. We want to ensure that you’re fully satisfied with your new pool and that you will be able to enjoy it for years to come. Contact us to schedule a consultation with one of our expert pool designers.
