I’ve been involved in the swimming pool industry for 23 years in southeast Michigan. Over the years , I have seen many trends come and go. In those early years for me, we built a lot of very basic swimming pools with little or no design involved. Today, the average consumer want their yard to be something special and different than everyone else. It is truly the age of “custom swimming pools” in Michigan.
What I see for the next few years is a trend towards complete back yard renovation. The swimming pool is just a small part of the entire environment. Fire features, outdoor kitchens, and low voltage lighting packages are the big upgrades. Michigan, even with all of its challenges is a great place to live and build swimming pools. Now all we need to do is think spring!
