Backyard Pool Trends: Smart Controls, Tanning Ledges, and Designing a Resort-Style Oasis

Maybe we want something new, something modern.

I kind of wanted to talk a little bit about trends and just sort of talk about what homeowners are buying, why they're buying it.

One of the things that I feel like we're seeing is when we go on vacation, we go to that resort, we're like, could we do our backyard like that?

Right.

You know,

and I'm sure you're getting the same questions.

Yeah.

You know, I the way I see pools is I kind of see pools like homes, you know, a home is a home, a pool is a pool, but it's actually not, you know, taste change, trends change, you know, fashion changes inside the home, you know, used to be dark cabinets.

Now it's white cabinets and this and that.

So Pools, I think, are kind of like the same way.

It used to be, give me the 20 by 40, the biggest pool I can possibly get, and I have to have it eight feet deep, I have to have a diving board.

And what we're kind of seeing is that's not the case anymore.

Okay.

maybe pools are trending a little bit smaller and people are doing more in the backyard.

So you're absolutely right.

We go on vacation, we go to this hotel and we see this pool and then it's cased with palm trees and some green space and a pop of color and there's a water feature.

So I think people are trying to get to the point where they're vacationing in their backyard and they're creating a space in their backyard.

So what I equated to is, you know, the fireplace in the living room of the house.

It's a central feature in the house, but it's not the living room.

That's right.

Your pool is the same thing.

Your pool is the fireplace of your backyard.

And then there's everything else that makes it the outdoor kitchen, the landscaping, you know, the seating area.

So I think that's kind of where we're seeing is the backyard oasis trend trying to take off.

Yeah, no doubt.
