Why Choose a Fiberglass Pool with JRS Landscaping and Pools in 2025
When considering a pool for your backyard, fiberglass pools offer numerous advantages that make them an ideal choice for homeowners. At JRS Landscaping and Pools, we specialize in providing top-notch fiberglass pool installations that not only enhance your outdoor space but also minimize the effort required to maintain it. Here's why fiberglass pools stand out:
Low Maintenance
One of the biggest reasons fiberglass pools are easier to maintain is due to their non-porous surface. The gelcoat layer on a fiberglass pool is smooth and resistant to algae growth, unlike the rough, porous surface of a concrete pool. This smooth finish means algae have nowhere to hide, making your pool much easier to clean and maintain.
In contrast, concrete pools require more frequent and intensive maintenance. The rough surface of a concrete pool traps algae, necessitating regular brushing and higher chemical usage to keep your pool clear and clean. Additionally, concrete pools require daily doses of muriatic acid to balance the pH levels because the alkaline nature of concrete constantly raises the pH of the pool water. Fiberglass pools, however, are inert, meaning they don’t affect water chemistry and require significantly less upkeep. This translates to about 75% less time and money spent on maintenance, giving you more time to enjoy your pool.
Quick Installation
Another significant advantage of fiberglass pools is the speed of installation. Since the fiberglass shell is manufactured off-site, we can have it installed in your backyard in just a couple of days. This is a stark contrast to the three to six months it can take to install a concrete pool, which can disrupt your yard and your plans for an extended period. With a fiberglass pool from JRS Landscaping and Pools, you can be swimming this season rather than waiting until the next.
Superior Durability
Fiberglass pools are built to last. Unlike vinyl liner pools, which can be punctured by pets, fallen branches, or patio furniture, fiberglass pools are incredibly strong and resistant to damage. You won’t have to worry about costly liner replacements, which can range from $8,000 to $10,000. With a fiberglass pool, you can have peace of mind knowing your pool can withstand daily use without fear of damage.
Elegant Aesthetics
Over the years, fiberglass pools have evolved from simple, utilitarian designs to stunning works of art. Today’s fiberglass pools come in a variety of beautiful designs, colors, and finishes that can transform your backyard into a luxurious retreat. Whether you want custom ceramic tiles, tanning ledges, water features, or elegant lighting, fiberglass pools offer endless possibilities for creating a visually stunning and functional space.
Compatibility with Salt Systems
Saltwater pools are becoming increasingly popular due to their low maintenance and high water quality. However, not all pool materials are compatible with salt systems. Concrete pools can suffer significant damage from salt exposure, much like how de-icing salt damages sidewalks. Vinyl liner pools, which often have metal wall panels and aluminum coping, are also at risk of corrosion and leaks.
Fiberglass pools, on the other hand, are perfectly suited for salt systems. The non-reactive nature of fiberglass means that salt has no adverse effect on the pool shell, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a saltwater pool without worrying about damage.
Increased Resale Value
A well-maintained pool can significantly enhance the value of your property, and fiberglass pools are particularly attractive to potential home buyers. Unlike vinyl liner pools, which require a new liner every 5 to 9 years, or aboveground pools that can detract from the value of a property, a fiberglass pool adds beauty, durability, and low maintenance to your home. While a pool may not recoup its full installation cost in resale value, the enjoyment and added appeal it brings are well worth the investment.
Low Lifetime Cost of Ownership
When you consider the long-term costs of pool ownership, fiberglass pools are an economical choice. Their durability, low maintenance requirements, and compatibility with salt systems all contribute to a lower cost of ownership over time. When you choose a fiberglass pool from JRS Landscaping and Pools, you’re making a smart investment in a high-quality, long-lasting pool that you and your family can enjoy for years to come.
