The Finest On-Ground Pools for New England Homes
While the New England landscape (with its rocky terrain and uneven grades) may be challenging for other pool installers, our experts know exactly how to handle every on-ground pool installation in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Depending on the layout and condition of your yard, we will offer a customized solution that becomes a seamless extension of your property while remaining strong against the challenges of New England landscaping.
In many cases, an on-ground pool will be installed entirely above ground, which provides an elevated aesthetic and a faster installation process. However, for some sloped or terraced landscapes, it may be ideal to install the pool as a semi-inground pool, allowing it to sit partially below the surface of the earth. When you reach out to our team for an on-ground pool installation in New England, our expert installers will carefully evaluate your property and recommend the best configuration for long-lasting performance, safety, and visual appeal.
Incredible Features of Our On-Ground Swimming Pools
Durable, American-Made Pool Walls
Our on-ground pools are constructed with insulated aluminum panels that provide exceptional strength and thermal efficiency. With these durable walls, you won’t have to worry about the pool warping, bowing, cracking, or corroding with each New England season.
The Gibraltar Safety View™ Liner
Our exclusive Gibraltar Safety View™ liner features a unique design that makes the water’s edge clearly visible from both inside and outside the pool. This simple yet effective feature enhances safety for swimmers of all ages. The 100% virgin vinyl liner is also treated to resist fading from UV rays and damage from pool chemicals.
Advanced Filtration System
To maintain crystal-clear water, every on-ground pool we install comes equipped with an advanced filtration system. These systems are designed to minimize maintenance time while maximizing water purity. They trap dirt, debris, and microscopic particles so that you don’t have to vacuum out the bottom of the pool every week.
Walk-Up Staircase With Railings
Every Gibraltar Pool™ includes a sturdy, slip-resistant walk-up staircase with robust railings. This makes stepping onto the pool deck safe and comfortable for everyone, from young children to grandparents.
Alum-A-Clad™ Patio Decking System
Our exclusive Alum-A-Clad™ patio decking system provides a spacious perimeter around your entire pool to create the perfect space for lounging, sunbathing, and supervising swimmers. Plus, it’s low-maintenance and stylish!
When Is the Best Time to Install an On-Ground Pool?
In New England, the ideal time for a pool installation is typically spring through early summer. This schedule ensures your pool is ready for use by the time warm weather arrives and allows our team to complete the installation before the busiest part of the season.
However, we also perform installations for above-ground and semi-inground pools in late summer and early fall. This timeframe can be a great way to plan ahead for next year, as the cooler temperatures and off-season scheduling may mean more availability.
If you’re thinking about investing in an on-ground swimming pool, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. Whether it’s currently spring, summer, fall, or winter, we’ll help you choose the best time for installation.
