PB8 - Why the Fall Could be the Perfect Time to Build your Dream Swimming Pool

By Backyard Concepts – Waco’s Trusted Pool Builder

When most people think about installing a swimming pool, summer usually comes to mind. But here’s a little secret: fall is actually one of the best times to build your dream pool. At Backyard Concepts, we know that timing can make a huge difference in your construction experience, cost, and overall satisfaction.

Here’s why installing your custom pool in the fall might be the smartest decision you’ll make this year.

1. Enjoy Ideal Weather Conditions

Fall in Central Texas brings mild temperatures and fewer weather disruptions, which makes it one of the most efficient times for construction.

• Faster timelines: Cooler conditions allow our crews to work more comfortably and efficiently.

• Fewer rain delays: Unlike spring showers or the blazing summer heat, fall offers a stable climate for smoother progress.

• Be ready for summer: By starting now, you’ll have your pool completed and ready to dive into by the time warm weather arrives.

  
  

2. Take Advantage of Off-Season Savings

Since fall is considered the off-season for pool installations, you can often save big on your project:

• Special discounts: Many suppliers offer lower pricing on materials after peak season.

• Flexible scheduling: With fewer clients competing for availability, we can better accommodate your timeline.

• Room for upgrades: Those savings can be invested in custom features like tanning waterfalls, LED lighting, or high-end finishes.

3. Perfect Timing for Landscaping and Outdoor Features

A fall pool installation gives you the chance to design your entire backyard experience:

• Landscaping advantages: Cooler weather makes it easier to plant trees, shrubs, and greenery that will thrive by spring.

• Extra time for upgrades: Use the offseason to add extras like fire pits, pergolas, or outdoor kitchens.

• By next summer, your backyard will be fully transformed into an outdoor oasis.

4. Avoid Summer Construction Disruptions

Summer is made for barbecues, pool parties, and family gatherings — not construction crews. By installing your pool in the fall:

• You avoid the noise and mess during peak outdoor season.

• You’ll be able to enjoy every warm day next year without waiting for construction to finish.

• Your pool will be swim-ready before most of your neighbors even start their projects.

5. Better Access to Contractors and Materials

High demand during summer often means longer wait times and limited material availability. Fall offers an advantage:

• Faster project starts: Our crews have more availability to begin work right away.

• Premium materials: It’s easier to source the exact tiles, finishes, and equipment you want.

• Attention to detail: With fewer competing projects, we can create a more immersive client experience.

6. Be Fully Prepared for Next Swimming Season

By completing your pool installation in the fall, you’ll have plenty of time to:

• Learn pool care and maintenance basics.

• Balance your chemicals and get familiar with equipment.

• Get your landscaping and furniture in place.

When next summer hits, you’ll be ready to relax and enjoy your new pool from day one.
