A swimming pool is often on the wish list for the backyard but may not be on the reno budget for several years.
If you’re landscaping from scratch and you would like a pool in your backyard down the track, make space for it as you lay out the garden.
The future pool site should be earmarked for temporary gardens or as a play area, but don’t plant trees or erect any structures that will be difficult or expensive to remove.
Also plan ahead for access to the site, as digging equipment will need to be brought in and soil and rocks removed during the excavation and pool installation process.
TIP Access can be through the garage if there is a door on the garden side.
