When Should You Start Planning a Pool in Louisiana? Why Fall Is the Smartest Time

When people hear the word pool, they think of summer. But what many homeowners in Louisiana don’t realize is that the secret to planning the perfect pool is actually starting the process in the fall.

Beginning your pool construction in the fall affords you the time, precision, and customization required to give you exactly what you are looking for. Here’s why fall is the smartest time to bring your pool vision to life.

Seamless Integration That Protects and Elevates Your Landscape

A well-constructed pool isn’t built by ignoring landscape.

Your project site’s existing landscape, terrain, and outdoor environment should always be heavily considered in the pool building process. Planning the perfect project takes time with design, permitting and mobilization. If you are looking to be swimming by spring, now is the time to start the process. Fall is not only the smartest time for this, but it is the most strategic.

Working With The Weather In Fall Construction

As Louisianians, we know all too well how hot, humid, and unpredictable the warmer seasons can be. While winter comes with its own set of obstacles, fall is comparatively the most advantageous season for pool construction. 

The milder months of fall bring drier weather, less rainfall, fewer weather delays, and speedier progression towards the pool you want. Fall is the smarter season to avoid the wet and muddy weather and take advantage of the off-season. 

Custom pool construction doesn’t have to wait until next year. In fact, starting now is the best way to outsmart the weather before spring and summer roll around.

Ready For Spring Festivities

Nationwide, spring is the most popular season for people to plan their pools for the upcoming summer, but in Louisiana, our climate brings the heat early on. Hot holidays, hangouts, and birthday parties around the corner don’t start in the summer. They begin in spring. 

Since South Louisiana warms up faster, Wetstone Custom Pools knows our St. Tammany Parish, Greater New Orleans, and Mississippi Gulf Coast communities use pools in the springtime for: 

• Crawfish boil parties
• Graduation celebrations
• Spring break hangouts
• Easter pool parties

Starting your build in the fall also gives your surrounding greenery and plants time to regrow and flourish by the water. Because laying down the groundwork for your pool also means waiting for plant roots to reestablish themselves and grow again. Not to mention, the high quality, material selections you might want are in demand during spring, which potentially means more time tacked onto your pool project.

Your outdoor living space should match the quality of your pool, and if you are wondering when a good season to start building your dream pool area is, then fall is the smartest decision.
