Let The Backyard Games Begin: Mapping Out Your Dream Pool Area In 2026
Published by Rick Morton on
2026 has arrived.
With the New Year now here, it’s a common time for local homeowners in the North Dallas area to start planning their home projects for the year.
Whether you’re new in the area or are a long-time Texas resident, home and property improvements are an important part of home ownership.
For many, improvements mean updating certain parts of their property that have gone beyond simple repairs – for others, it’s a chance to reimagine their living areas.
One of the most popular items on the home improvement list are backyard areas.
Backyards are a perfect location for private family and friends outdoor events, so it’s an excellent place to start if you’re looking to create a new and improved experience for them.
Among the most popular items that can be included in the backyard improvement list are swimming pools (and associated structures).
Whether your friends and family enjoy swimming or simply want a private space for hanging out by the water, your swimming pool is a source for endless memories.
As mentioned above, a full pool renovation is an option for pools that have fallen into a state of disrepair and full pool remodels are quite common for pool owners looking for an entirely new look for their backyard.
Regardless of your particular situation, each offers you a tremendous opportunity to refresh your property; but not without the solid grounding of a plan.
Moving forward without a plan for your renovation or remodel is likely to end in a potentially bad outcome – one that could set your backyard experience on a backwards trajectory.
To help you out, below is a short, simple guide to get your pool upgrade journey started.
1. Your Vision: It Starts With An Idea or Inspiration
Whether you are looking at a swimming pool renovation or remodeling project, it all starts with a vision – how your backyard will ultimately look once complete.
Inspiration and ideas can come from any number of sources – perhaps you’ve seen one of our projects in the area or perhaps you’ve seen some of the latest trends of different pool materials from around the country.
Or, perhaps, you’re looking to do something completely original which can be a great option if you’re looking to create a more unique experience for your friends and family.
Wherever your source of inspiration comes from, a well thought out vision will help you create a definitive guide for your renovation or remodeling outcome.
2. Your Mission: Find The Right Pool Renovation or Remodeling Contractor
Large pool projects are not the DIY type of home improvement project that others may be.
Pool renovations and remodels require not only experienced planning, but also coordination between multiple contractors and other parties required to work on property in your local area.
This is where hiring a seasoned pool contractor will be the best route for your project.
Someone that has experienced pool projects of all shapes and sizes is more likely to create a thorough plan and has the team in place to perform the work properly.
Not all pool projects are the same and not all pool contractors are the same either, but by hiring one that has decades of experience working in the area, it’s a great step toward pulling off a seamless pool renovation or remodeling project.
3. Your Goal: A Seamless Transition To Your New Backyard Experience
A properly planned and executed pool project shouldn’t be a headache or chore for you and your family.
There are obvious pains associated with any larger renovation and remodeling project – including not being able to use your backyard while your project is in progress – it should move along smoothly.
While your backyard goes away for a bit, it’s a great time to plan other indoor projects; before you know it your pool and backyard will be ready for a seamless transition.
