Give the Gift of a Pool Upgrade This Holiday Season

The holidays are all about giving—and what better gift than transforming your backyard into a place your family can enjoy for years to come?

December is one of the best times to start planning or scheduling pool upgrades, and Austin homeowners are taking advantage of the cooler months to give their pools a fresh new look.

Here are the top holiday-season upgrades homeowners are loving this year:

1. New Tile & Coping

Ready for a more modern, refined look?
Fresh tile and updated coping instantly elevate your backyard without a full renovation.

2. LED Lighting Upgrades

Color-changing LEDs = pure holiday magic.
They’re energy-efficient, long-lasting, and perfect for setting a festive vibe during Christmas and New Year's gatherings.

3. Resurfacing & Replastering

If your pool surface is showing wear, winter is the ideal time to resurface. Cooler temps allow for proper curing—and you’ll be swim-ready by spring.

4. New Equipment for the New Year

Thinking about a more efficient pump? A quieter heater? A better automation system you can control from your phone?
Upgrading in December means lower energy bills and fewer surprises in 2026.

5. Add-On Features: Spas, Waterfalls, & Fire Bowls

Nothing says holiday luxury like soaking in a spa under the stars or lighting a fire bowl during chilly evenings.
These add-ons turn your backyard into a resort, no plane ticket required.

This season, gift your family a backyard they’ll love all year long.
