So, you’ve decided that you want to invest in a swimming pool. Great decision! A backyard swimming pool offers numerous benefits; it’s a great source of entertainment, it’s a great way to beat the heat, is a wonderful way to relax and unwind, and can increase the value of your Suffolk County property.
After doing your research and taking several factors into consideration, you’ve decided which Montauk, NY pool company to use, you’ve chosen the location, decided on the type and design of your swimming pool, and have even selected a few water features, too. The permits have been secured, the date has been set, and you can’t wait for the ball (or the bulldozer) to start rolling! But as you’re patiently waiting for your swimming pool installation to commence, you can’t help but feel a little overwhelmed and maybe even nervous. That’s totally understandable, as an inground pool is a big investment, and you want to make sure that you get the best results possible.
To calm your nerves and ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible, here are some inground swimming pool installation tips to put into practice before the Montauk, NY pool company gets started.
Keep the Lines of Communication Open
When it comes to a project that’s as big of an investment and that’s as permanent as an inground swimming pool installation, communication is essential. From creating the design to choosing the materials, a reputable Montauk, NY pool company will be sure to discuss the pertinent details with you. It’s important that you keep the lines of communication open so that the contractor can easily get in touch with you, and should you have any questions, don’t be afraid to reach out to the pool company.
Clear the Area
Before your swimming pool installation begins, make sure you take the time to clear all areas that the Montauk, NY pool company will need to access. This includes, of course, the area in your Suffolk County yard where the pool will be installed by making sure that you clear out any vegetation, debris, outdoor toys and furniture, and anything else that may be in the way. You should also take the time to clear out all points of access to the space, such as your driveway, walkways, your fence gates, etc.
By making sure that all places the contractor will need to access are free and clear, you’ll help to make the swimming pool installation process go as smoothly and successfully as possible.
Make Arrangements for Children and Pets
If you have young children and pets, be sure to make accommodations to safeguard them during your swimming pool installation. Your backyard is going to look and feel like a construction zone, filled with lots of tools, heavy machinery, and equipment. The last thing you want is to have a curious child wander off and explore bulldozers or have a four-legged family member get spooked and flee out of your yard or front door as soon as he hears the loud machinery and feels the ground moving.
Make arrangements to have trusted family members or friends watch your children and pets. If you can’t find someone who is available, consider looking for a reliable babysitter and maybe even a doggy daycare for your pets. If neither of those is an option, take your little ones and furry friends out and about while the swimming pool installation crew is working on your yard; just make sure to keep your phone within arm’s reach so you can keep the lines of communication open, and you can get in touch with the contractor or they can get in touch with you should any incidents arise or if you have any questions, concerns, or comments that you want to address.
Be Patient
It’s also important to remember that an inground pool installation is a complex, labor-intensive job. As such, it’s going to take some time to complete; the bigger the pool and the more unique the design, the longer the process will take. While it would be wonderful if you could just snap your fingers and have the project finished, the reality is, when it comes to swimming pool installation, it does take time and you will need to have patience. Just keep in mind that the wait will be well worth it when the project is finished and you’re floating around in your brand new inground pool!

Montauk is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of East Hampton in Suffolk County, New York, on the eastern end of the South Shore of Long Island. As of the 2010 United States census, the CDP’s population was 3,326.
Montauk derives its name from the Montaukett tribe, an Algonquian-speaking tribe who lived in the area. In 1614, Dutch explorer Adriaen Block encountered the tribe at Montauk Point, which he named Hoeck van de Visschers, or “Point of the Fishers”. Two decades later, in 1637, the Montauketts sided for their own protection with the New England settlers in the Pequot War in Connecticut. In the aftermath the Montauketts were to sell Gardiners Island. In 1648 what would become the Town of Easthampton (first Maidstone) was sold to settlers by the colony of Connecticut and the colony of New Haven while retaining the lands to the east, from the hills rising above where the first fort stood (Napeague, New York) to Montauk Point. The western boundary of today’s Hither Hills State Park is also known as the 1648 purchase line.
In 1653, Narragansetts under Ninigret attacked and burned the Montaukett village, killing 30 and capturing one of Chief Wyandanch’s daughters. The daughter was recovered with the aid of Lion Gardiner (who in turn was given a large portion of Smithtown, New York in appreciation). The Montauketts, ravaged by smallpox and fearing extermination by the Narragansetts, were provided temporary refuge by white settlers in East Hampton. Many short but famous battles ensued. The skirmishes ended in 1657. Fort Pond Bay derives its name from a Montaukett “fort” on its shore. A deed was issued in 1661 titled “Ye deed of Guift” which granted all of the lands east of Fort Pond to be for the common use of both the Indians and the townsmen.
Further purchase agreements were entered into in 1661, 1672 and 1686 which, among other things, allowed a group of Easthampton townsmen to graze cattle on the Montaukett lands. While some lands were protected in the agreements as forest land, for the most part, all of Montauk was maintained by the townsmen as a private livestock and fisheries operation. As a result of Montauk being operated as a livestock operation, it is considered to be the oldest cattle ranch in the United States.
