How to Prepare Your Pool for Memorial Day Weekend: Party-Ready in 3 Steps
Memorial Day Weekend is just around the corner—and if you're lucky enough to own a backyard pool, it's time to get it ready for fun, relaxation, and celebration. Whether you’re hosting a big pool party or enjoying a quiet afternoon in the sun, making sure your pool is clean, safe, and inviting is key.
At Johnson Custom Pools, we specialize in helping Texas homeowners enjoy their pools to the fullest. Here’s how to prepare your pool for Memorial Day weekend in just three simple steps:
Step 1: Clean and Balance Your Pool Water
The first and most important step in getting your pool ready for Memorial Day is a deep clean and chemical check. Start by:
Skimming the surface for debris
Brushing the walls and vacuuming the pool floor
Emptying skimmer and pump baskets
Then, test your pool water and ensure your chemical levels are properly balanced—especially chlorine, pH, and alkalinity. Unbalanced water can cause irritation and algae growth, and nobody wants that during a holiday weekend.
Need help? Our maintenance experts at Johnson Custom Pools can ensure your water is perfectly balanced and your equipment is running smoothly before the big day.
Step 2: Prep Your Poolside Space for Guests
Once your pool is sparkling, it's time to get the surrounding area ready. A comfortable and inviting poolside space makes all the difference when hosting guests.
Tips for a party-ready pool area:
Clean or refresh outdoor furniture and cushions
Set up umbrellas or shaded areas
Add string lights or lanterns for evening ambiance
Place towels, sunscreen, and pool toys within easy reach
Want to level it up? Add floating drink holders, waterproof speakers, or even a themed drink station to wow your guests.
Step 3: Show Off Your Custom Pool Features
Have a custom pool with lighting, waterfalls, tanning ledges, or a spa? Don’t let those upgrades go unnoticed! Turn on your water features, light up the pool after dark, and let your investment shine.
Many of our clients in Lakeway and the greater Austin area love using Memorial Day Weekend as the unofficial start of summer to highlight their custom pool designs—and for good reason. It’s the perfect time to show off the space you’ve built for unforgettable moments.
