Why not transform your aging swimming pool into a luxury pool. There are so many options you can add that will help your pool run more efficiently and be more aesthetically pleasing. Anyone that has a swimming pool knows how much time is spent poolside in the warm months. Whether it be with family, friends, or neighbors, many hours are spent playing in the swimming pool; especially in Georgia where it’s HOT! Here are some ways you can breathe new life into your existing swimming pool:

1. Change your swimming pool plaster to an aggregate pool plaster. They come in a variety of textures and colors. You can choose from pebble finishes with varying sizes of pebble or smooth quartz finishes in a variety of colors. The advantage of a pebble pool finish is the life expectancy of the pebble. It costs more upfront; however, the finish lasts up to 20 years with proper water chemistry.

3. Add a waterfall, spa, or other water feature to your existing swimming pool. Adding a water feature to your existing swimming pool is a way to add a hint of tranquility to your swimming pool. Nothing compares to the soothing sounds of a waterfall.

4. Upgrade your pool lights to LED lights. They are more energy efficient and can create a dramatic nighttime effect.
