Having a pool of your own allows access to a resort-like atmosphere right in your own backyard. There’s no need to sign up for a community pool membership or get in the car to go to a friend’s house or YMCA.
“You can also entertain and have parties and events right at home instead of having to host elsewhere,” says Terry Argenziano, co-owner, along with her husband Christopher, of The Pool Boss in Wayne. “These may include birthday parties, anniversaries, engagement parties, graduations, communions - even an intimate wedding!”
A pool is also a great source of fun for children and teens. “Having your kids in your own backyard and not having to worry about where they are and who's watching them is priceless,” she says. It’s also convenient for swimming lessons.
With many people still working from home, sitting around the pool with a laptop is a wonderful way to get your work done, breathe in some fresh air, and have a beautiful, serene view of crystal clear water. Add a water feature and this sense of serenity is heightened even further. When off the clock, enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail with friends or just sit back and read a book in your own personal oasis.
Whether you have a small yard or an acre of land, The Pool Boss, a design build company, can help design and install the perfect pool for your space. “Because our pools are not prefabricated, we really can customize in terms of size and shape to fit into your backyard,” says Terry.
Today, many homeowners are requesting rectangular-shaped pools and larger shallow areas where people and kids can just spend time together. Swim-up bars, underwater lounges and benches are popular options as well.
Less deep pools are also becoming popular – for example, six feet instead of eight feet in depth. For extremely small yards, spools, which are much smaller than an average pool, are a great alternative. “It's in the ground and it feels a little bit more like a spa, or a very large hot tub.”
Regular hot tubs are also a wonderful addition to a backyard and can be used all year round. Submerge yourself in the warm bubbling water and feel your whole body relax.
With over 25 years of professional design experience, The Pool Boss can offer a full concierge experience from customized designs to obtaining all permits. The Pool Boss exclusively services the pools they construct offering: openings, closing, service calls and weekly valet service.
Its clients include celebrities like Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino from MTV’s Jersey Shore to everyday people who appreciate having a luxurious, high-quality pool installed by experienced, professional personnel.
If homeowners wish to add amenities such as fire pits, fire bowls, outdoor kitchens, and patio areas, The Pool Boss can design those features to bring those dreams to reality.
Terry and Christopher are also firm believers in giving back to the community and designate a portion of the proceeds from all pool installations to one deserving charity every season.
“We have a very close connection to our clients,” says Terry. “When they share their hardships we connect with that, and we have supported Childlife, Hackensack Hospital, and The Willie & Aikisha Colon Foundation. We have also given to countless township sports teams and Police Benevolent Associations including those in Westfield, Kinnelon, Montville, Wayne, Township of Washington, Lyndhurst, and Fairfield. Each of these opportunities has supported clients that mean the world to us.”
