Imagine opening your pool in September to water so clear you can see every tile. π
That's not luck. That's what happens when you use the next 10 weeks of winter to get ahead.
The pool owners who do THIS now will be swimming in a resort-style backyard come spring. The ones who don't will be scrambling in September while the pool guys are fully booked.
Here's your winter-to-spring prep list π
πΏ Deep clean your pool surrounds NOW, cooler weather makes it easier and nothing feels better than a fresh start before summer
π± Plant this week, whatever you plant in July will be established and lush by November. Don't wait until October when it's too hot and too late.
π§ Book your pool service in the next 2 weeks, tradies are filling up fast for spring. If you wait until September, you'll be waiting until November.
ποΈ Upgrade your outdoor furniture while winter sales are on, this is the BEST time to buy. Prices go up the moment the sun comes back.
π‘ Check your pool lighting and pump, find out now if something needs replacing, not on the first warm Saturday when the whole family wants to swim.
π¨ Repaint or resurface, a winter job if ever there was one. Dry weather, no pressure to swim, and it'll look incredible come spring.
Which one are you doing first? Drop it below π
