Planning Your Dream Pool for Next Summer: Why Fall Is the Perfect Time to Start

Planning Your Dream Pool for Next Summer: Why Fall Is the Perfect Time to Start

When the Texas heat finally eases, most homeowners aren’t thinking about swimming pools, but this is actually the best time of year to start planning one. At Wild Basin Pools, we often tell clients that fall and winter are when dream backyards are truly built. By getting started now, you’ll be ready to enjoy a custom-designed pool the moment warm weather returns.

Avoid the Spring Rush

Spring and early summer are the busiest times for pool builders in Austin. Starting your design process in the fall means you can skip the waitlists and get priority scheduling for construction. It also gives you plenty of time to refine your design, choose finishes, and review every detail without feeling rushed.

Perfect Season for Design and Permitting

The design and permitting phase can take several weeks, depending on your property and the complexity of your project. Starting now allows our team to handle the technical details, from engineering to city approvals, so construction can begin smoothly once conditions are ideal.

More Time to Personalize Every Detail

Designing a pool is about more than just shape and size. It’s about how you want your outdoor space to feel. Whether you’re envisioning a sleek modern design, a resort-inspired escape, or a backyard made for entertaining, beginning in the fall gives you time to collaborate with our designers and make thoughtful choices about materials, lighting, and features.

Be Swim Ready by Summer

The biggest advantage of starting early is that you’ll actually get to enjoy your pool when summer arrives. Instead of beginning your build as temperatures rise, you’ll already be diving in. That timing difference can mean a full extra season of relaxation and family time outdoors.
