- Choose a standard fiberglass shape over a custom gunite design — same swim, far less money.

- Build in fall or winter when pool crews discount to keep working.
- Do your own landscaping restoration after the crews leave.
- Get quotes on the complete project including deck, fence and equipment so bids are comparable.
