Dive In! When’s the Best Time to Build a Pool in East Tennessee?

Dreaming of sparkling blue waters in your own backyard? East Tennessee summers are made for poolside relaxation, but planning is key to making that dream a reality. At East Tennessee Pools and Spa, we often get asked, “When’s the best time to build a pool?” The answer depends on a few factors, and this blog post will break it all down for you.

The Ideal Timeframe: Fall and Early Winter

While you might instinctively think summer is the prime pool-building season, the truth is, fall and early winter are often the sweet spots in East Tennessee. Here’s why:

•  Weather Cooperation: East Tennessee weather can be unpredictable, but fall generally offers more stable conditions, less rain, and milder temperatures compared to the scorching summer heat. This makes construction smoother and more efficient. Early winter, before the rain, sleet, and snow hits, can also be a good window.
•  Contractor Availability: Spring and summer are peak pool season, meaning contractors are often booked solid, sometimes 6+ months out (more on that below!). By planning your build for the fall or early winter, you’ll likely have more scheduling flexibility and potentially faster project completion.
•  Ready for Swim Season: A fall/early winter build means your pool will be ready to go as soon as the warm weather arrives in spring. Imagine being the first on your street to take a dip!

Why Spring and Summer Book Up Fast (Plan Ahead!)

It’s no secret that everyone wants a pool when the sun is shining. This high demand means that pool builders, including East Tennessee Pools and Spa, experience a surge in bookings during spring and summer.  Most pools built in the spring and summer are booked 3-6 months in advance and can fluctuate based on rain.

If you’re hoping for a pool next summer, now is the time to start planning! Contact us as soon as possible to schedule a consultation and get on our calendar. Waiting until the spring although doable might mean missing out on valuable swim time.
