Thoughtful hardscape selection is critical to both the look and long-term performance of a pool environment. We recommend durable, sun-resistant pavers like Techo-Bloc in lighter tones and appropriate patterns, while recognizing that material choice, layout complexity, and yard topography all significantly influence cost. As patio areas expand beyond the pool, costs often increase exponentially—not linearly—due to grading, drainage, and retaining wall requirements.

Hard freezes can strike quickly in Middle Tennessee, but protecting your pool doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right settings, a little preparation, and Palmingo’s freeze-ready equipment design, you can confidently prevent damage and keep your system running smoothly.

The single most important factor in protecting your pool during freezing weather is continuous water flow. With Palmingo-built systems, much of this happens automatically, but knowing how your equipment functions—and how to take action when needed—gives you peace of mind all winter long.

What every homeowner should know about trees, roots, and how they impact pool placement, excavation, utilities, and permitting.

When it comes to building a pool in Middle Tennessee, elevation is one of the most underestimated variables. While many homeowners envision their dream backyard starting with a flat canvas, the reality is that most properties in our region come with some degree of natural slope. While a little incline might not seem like a big deal, it can significantly influence your project’s design, timeline, and budget.

At Palmingo Pools, we believe a pool is more than a water feature - it’s the heart of your backyard experience. One of the most impactful aspects of your pool design is the hardscape that surrounds it, especially the coping and patio space.
