Elevating Outdoor Spaces with Pools and Pool Decks in Maryland and Southern PA

Xscape 2 Nature, in partnership with Glimmer Glass Pools, offers top-tier pool and pool deck solutions in Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania. Our collaborative efforts ensure that your outdoor space is not only functional but also a luxurious retreat for relaxation and entertainment.

Initial Consultation and Design:

Consultation: We start with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, preferences, and requirements. This includes discussing the pool's size, shape, style, and any additional features you desire.
Site Evaluation: Our team conducts a thorough site evaluation to assess the suitability of your property for pool installation, including soil conditions, topography, and access for construction equipment.
Design: Based on your input and the site evaluation, we create a custom pool design that aligns with your vision. This includes selecting materials, finishes, and any additional features such as waterfalls, lighting, and landscaping.

Permitting and Approvals:

Permits: We handle all necessary permits and approvals required by local regulations and zoning laws. This ensures that the construction process complies with all legal requirements.
Inspections: We coordinate with local authorities to schedule and pass all required inspections throughout the construction process.

Excavation and Site Preparation:

Marking and Excavation: The pool area is marked, and excavation begins. Our team uses precise measurements and equipment to dig the pool's shape and depth according to the design specifications.
Site Preparation: The excavation site is prepared with proper grading and compaction to ensure a stable foundation for the pool structure.

Structural Construction:

Forming and Steel Reinforcement: Forms are set up to outline the pool's shape, and steel reinforcement is installed to provide structural integrity.
Plumbing and Electrical: Plumbing lines for water circulation, filtration, and any additional features are installed. Electrical components for lighting and other equipment are also set up at this stage.

Shell Installation:

Concrete/Gunite Application: The pool shell is constructed using either concrete or gunite, depending on the design and material preferences. This step involves spraying or pouring the material to form the pool's structure.
Curing: The pool shell is allowed to cure for a specified period, ensuring it reaches the necessary strength and durability.

Finishing Touches:

Tile and Coping Installation: Decorative tiles and coping (the edging around the pool) are installed to enhance the pool's appearance and functionality.
Interior Finish: The interior surface of the pool is finished with materials such as plaster, aggregate, or tile, creating a smooth and visually appealing surface.

Decking and Landscaping:

Pool Deck Construction: The pool deck is constructed using materials like concrete, pavers, or natural stone, providing a safe and attractive area around the pool.
Landscaping: Additional landscaping elements, such as plants, trees, and lighting, are added to integrate the pool seamlessly into your outdoor space.

Equipment Installation and Testing:

Filtration and Heating Systems: The pool’s filtration, heating, and circulation systems are installed and connected to ensure efficient operation.
Testing and Balancing: The pool is filled with water, and all systems are tested to ensure proper functionality. Chemical levels are balanced to maintain water quality and safety.

Final Inspection and Handover:

Final Inspection: A comprehensive final inspection is conducted to ensure that every aspect of the pool meets our high standards and all regulatory requirements.
Handover and Training: We provide you with detailed instructions on pool operation and maintenance, ensuring you are fully equipped to enjoy your new pool.

Fiberglass Pool Installation in Baltimore County, Maryland by Xscape 2 Nature

Making Waves in Maryland: The Ultimate Deep Dive into Inground and Fiberglass Pool Installations

By Chris D. • March 3, 2025

Making Waves in Maryland: The Ultimate Deep Dive into Inground and Fiberglass Pool Installations When it comes to creating the perfect backyard oasis, choosing the right pool type is essential. Whether you're interested in a low-maintenance option or crave a fully customized design, understanding your choices can help you make an informed decision. In this guide, we’ll explore the different types of pools available in Maryland, discuss salt water versus traditional chlorine systems, and weigh the benefits of fiberglass versus concrete pools. Along the way, we’ll cover everything from rock features and built-in hot tubs to overall maintenance and total cost comparisons. If you’re searching for fiber glass pool installation Maryland or fiberglass pool installation Baltimore County , read on for all the insights you need. Exploring Pool Options: Fiberglass vs. Concrete Fiberglass Pools: Quick, Clean, and Customizable Fiberglass pools have surged in popularity throughout Maryland—and for good reason. They offer several advantages, especially if you’re considering fiber glass pool installation Maryland : Quick Installation: Fiberglass pool shells are pre-manufactured, meaning they can be installed in just a few weeks compared to the months required for concrete pools. Low Maintenance: Their non-porous surface resists algae and reduces chemical usage, keeping long-term maintenance costs low. Smooth Surface: The gentle finish is kinder on your skin and ideal for families with children. Additionally, modern fiberglass pools can be tailored to meet a variety of design preferences: Salt Water Compatibility: The smooth surface of a fiberglass pool minimizes corrosion issues, making them an excellent choice for salt water systems. Enjoy the gentler feel of salt water while benefiting from the low-maintenance nature of fiberglass. Custom Features: Today’s fiberglass designs can incorporate features once exclusive to concrete pools. Think built-in hot tubs, integrated rock features, and even gondola-like water jets that create unique water effects. Concrete Pools: The Ultimate in Customization Concrete pools offer near-limitless design possibilities, perfect if your backyard vision involves intricate details: Highly Customizable: With concrete, you can create elaborate rock features, cascading waterfalls, or even integrated hot tubs that blend seamlessly into the pool design. Flexibility: They can be molded into virtually any shape, allowing for unique layouts and bespoke water features. However, this level of customization comes at a price: Higher Maintenance: The porous surface of concrete pools is more prone to algae growth and may require more frequent chemical treatments and resurfacing over time. Longer Installation Time: Constructing a concrete pool is a labor-intensive process that can extend over several months, affecting both your timeline and budget.
