Benefits of a Properly Designed Natural Swimming Pond
Eco-Friendly Swimming Experience
The number one reason homeowners are seeking a more natural approach to swim ponds, versus traditional pools. Swim ponds use plants and biological filtration to maintain water clarity and quality, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals like chlorine. This eco-friendly approach provides a safe swimming environment for you and your family while supporting local wildlife and promoting biodiversity.
Low Maintenance
With a well-designed natural swim pond, maintenance is minimal compared to traditional pools. The natural ecosystem, including plants and beneficial bacteria, works continuously to keep the water clean and balanced, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and chemical adjustments. You will want to discuss the types of maintenance that you should expect during the design phase.
Aesthetic Appeal
Natural swim ponds can blend seamlessly into your landscape, enhancing the beauty of your outdoor space. With options for various design elements like waterfalls, flowing streams, rock formations, aquatic plants and more.
The Importance of Onsite Consultation with a Professional
Designing a natural swim pond requires expertise and careful planning to ensure it meets your needs. This includes conceptional ideas to be discussed based off your vision as well as the pallet (your landscape) available to work with. The design phase should also consider the following:
Budget – The overall budget for the project must be discussed and understood prior to starting the project. During the design consultation is the best time to have this conversation about budget. Keeping in mind it is usually the deciding factor on a larger project. Payment schedules for the project are equally important for both the homeowner and the contractor.
Complete Scope – A natural swim pond project includes all aspects of the project, including site assessment, design development, permitting, excavation, construction, and planting. The scope should provide a comprehensive understanding of all details associated with the installation of your swim pond project from start to completion. This ensures that every detail aligns with your vision and that the result is a natural swimming pond that exceeds your expectations.
Timeline – The timeline for your project will be discussed during the design phase. Keeping in mind that large scale projects usually include larger materials, such as decorative boulders and rock. Those items will require delivery schedules that will need to be met in order to start and finish on time.
Incidentals – The project consultant will be your guide during the entire process. However, you always want to consider the incidental items that may arise during the project. In many cases weather can delay the job. Or materials being delayed. You will want to communicate with your project consultant on when they arise.
