Planning a Pool for Summer? Here’s Why You Should Start Now

Planning a Pool for Summer? Here’s Why You Should Start Now

May 8, 2025 / by administrator

With the heat of summer on its way, it’s natural to start thinking about backyard barbecues, pool parties and long, lazy afternoons. But if you’re hoping to swim in your own pool this summer, the time to start planning is now.

At Outback Pools, we’re often booked months in advance, especially for custom concrete pool builds. Here’s why it’s smart to get started early—and how we can help.

Pool Projects Take Time

From design consultation to council approvals and construction, a quality pool build can take 12–16 weeks. By starting in autumn or winter, you give yourself the buffer needed to be swim-ready by the first hot day.

Council Approvals Can Cause Delays

Even straightforward sites can be subject to unexpected hold-ups when it comes to local council regulations. Our team prepares and submits all necessary documentation for you, but approvals can still take several weeks. Starting early minimises stress and gives you time to make informed decisions.

Design Choices Matter

When you’re not in a rush, you can spend time on the details—like selecting tiles, waterline features, coping stone, and landscaping. A well-thought-out design means your finished pool will be exactly what you want, not what you had to settle for.

Beating the Seasonal Rush

Spring is often the busiest season for pool builders. By the time many homeowners start enquiring, schedules are full. Booking early gives you more availability, more attention, and a more relaxed timeline.

Our Promise at Outback Pools

From our first visit to your home through to the final handover, we prioritise communication, craftsmanship, and care. We handle council applications, engineering, excavation, construction, and even landscaping coordination. When you work with Outback Pools, you get the full-service experience that makes building a pool smooth and enjoyable.
