Top Backyard Renovation Ideas for 2019

Yes, we get it. There’s snow in the forecast and the ground is still frozen—but that’s not to say it’s too early to start planning for 2019.

If you’re contemplating a backyard renovation project, now is the time to get started. Why? Because it will give you ample time to speak with and interview potential contractors, it will allow you plenty of time to get whatever permits you may need, and you’ll beat the spring rush- which means you’ll be first in line to get your work on the contractor’s schedule.

This can help ensure that the renovation is complete in the spring- which means you’ll be able to enjoy your upgraded outdoor living space in the late spring, summer and fall.

Below are just a few of the hottest trends for 2019.

Upgraded landscape design

If the foliage in your backyard could use an upgrade, you’ll want to reach out to a few local landscapers to see how they can help refresh the look. There are lots of new fresh design concepts that are available and hiring a professional can help you visualize and plan something truly amazing.

Swimming pool install

Swimming pool technology has changed quite a bit since you were a child, which means the days of digging a hole to install a pre-bought, pre-formed pool are in the past. Today, swimming pool designers can come to your home to help you with a custom design. Yes, you can build your swimming pool from the ground up! Do you want a slide? How about a waterfall? Do you want water walls or a fountain? If you can dream it, a designer can help you achieve it.

If you’ve just started to fact find what will be entailed in installing a new, custom swimming pool, or you’ve already decided to make the jump, you likely know there are several steps that will need to be completed between the day you break ground and the day construction will be complete.

As such, we wanted to through some of those timelines, so you can know what to expect from start to finish.

Designing a custom swimming pool in Greenwood Village

When you contact Wetworks Pool and Spa the first thing we’ll do involves setting up a time for you to meet with one of our swimming pool design technicians. During the meeting, our designer will ask you lots of questions. They’ll want to know if you’re looking to use the pool for lap swimming, or if you’re simply wanting a space to enjoy with your family. They’ll also ask if you have any preferences in terms of landscaping. Will your pool take up your entire back yard, or will you be looking to add some greenery as well?

The designer will then do a full survey of the area you’d like to have your pool installed, so they can get a better idea of what they’ll need to incorporate in terms of dimensions and positioning. Once that’s done, you can expect to receive your design plan, along with estimated costs, in just a few days.

Permitting

During this phase, our company will reach out to the city to begin to work on obtaining permits and approval, to ensure that the design plans comply with state and local building codes.

The layout

Once the permits have been pulled and approved, construction can finally begin! This is the exciting part. At this point, a representative from Wetworks Pool and Spa will contact you to let you know when the different stages of construction will begin, how long each phase is expected to take, and what you can expect throughout the process. If you have questions or concerns, we’ll take as much time as needed to go over each of those items. We want you to be excited!

Excavation, structure and plumbing

During this stage, the ground will be dug out and the shell of the pool will be reinforced with steel. We will also install the skimmers and the drains.

Pool flooring and walls

Once the land has been dug out, the shell of the pool has been reinforced and the skimmers and drains are in, we’ll begin installing the pool flooring and walls. This is done with a material called gunite, which is a combination of cement and sand. When the gunite is in, you’ll be able to choose the tile you’d like to have installed.

Now comes the plumbing

When the gunite is dry and the tile is set, we’ll begin installing proper plumbing, which will help keep the pool water clean throughout the summer. Suffice to say, piping is installed when the plumbing goes in.

Electrical equipment

This is where the filtration system and the water pumps will be installed. When that’s done, an electrician will be called to help install the pool’s lights. If you’d like to have a heated pool, this is when the heater will be installed.

Decking and layout

At this point, the contractor will install a wooden, concrete or brick deck. You’ll want to pick a material that matches both your home and your landscape.

Clean up and water

When the deck is finished, our team will begin to clean up all of the scrap materials that have been left in your yard. We’ll coat the interior of your pool and as soon as the coating has dried, we’ll begin filling the pool with water. After the pool is filled, we’ll do a final check of the filtration system, the heater and the lighting. We’ll train you on how to use the equipment and we’ll be sure you understand how to maintain it.

Congrats! Your pool is finally open for use.
