Getting a pool installed on your property can be exciting. It can improve your home's quality and curb appeal, but also improve your home's value by up to 7%, according to BankRate. Let's look at the differences between above-ground and inground pools.

Inground Pools

Inground pools are a wonderful addition to any property. This yard addition can make your time spent at home so much more enjoyable, as well as increase your home's value. An inground is a permanent part of your property and allows for much deeper swim depths than above-ground pools.

An inground pool can also become a part of your overall property's landscape as well. The pool is usually accompanied by a patio or a deck, as well as furniture and landscaping. The accumulation of these features can create a really lovely outdoor space that you'll be proud to invite your friends and family to.

Inground pools tend to come with more expenses. This pool option will also require more maintenance long-term as well. Before committing to an inground pool, you should consider all of the expenses that are associated with this investment.

Above-Ground Pools

An above-ground pool can be a good option for families that can't afford or do not wish to commit to an inground pool. These pools are often pre-fabricated and must be assembled on your property. There are pool professionals that can come to your home and help assemble this excellent home addition. This is a great option that ensures that your new pool is correctly and safely assembled.

Above-ground pools can either have a deck built around them, or they can be free-standing. Adding a deck around an above-ground pool is recommended as it improves the appearance of the pool and gives it a more permanent feel. You also have more options when it comes to pool furnishings and decorations if you have a deck.

The above-ground option is far less expensive than an inground option. You also have the freedom to change your mind later if you choose that you no longer want the pool on your property.
