Yard Access - But What About My Neighbors?
So you decide to get a pool; everyone is excited. You know exactly where you want it and its specifications - lounge chairs, a vibrant color scheme, and perhaps a slide for the kids. But have you talked to your neighbor?
When we build a pool, we need access to get back there, and sometimes we have to use a portion of your neighbor's yard. It could be a foot or a couple of feet, but gaining access to your neighbor's yard can be very important. Why, you ask? Well, let's dive in.
1. Construction Crew Convenience:
Imagine a team of dedicated professionals arriving at your property, ready to start digging. To ensure efficiency and minimize disruptions, having access to your neighbor's yard can be crucial. It helps the construction crew move equipment and materials with ease, allowing them to work their magic swiftly.
2. Space Squeeze:
Swimming pool construction involves heavy machinery, materials, and workers bustling around. Sometimes, your backyard might be a bit tight for all the necessary activities. Accessing your neighbor's yard can provide the extra space needed for seamless construction, preventing any unintentional disturbances.
3. Noise Considerations:
Construction can be noisy, and the sounds of digging and hammering may not be music to your neighbor's ears. By discussing your plans with them beforehand, you can find ways to minimize disruptions or agree on specific hours when the noise will be kept to a minimum.
Important Neighborly Consideration:
At Super Pools, we value transparency and open communication throughout the entire pool construction process. In some cases, we might need to work on your neighbors’ property and this might require minor adjustments, like digging or temporarily removing a fence. It's important to note that while we strive to complete these tasks with utmost care, Super Pools cannot take responsibility for any damages incurred during these access procedures.
We encourage our customers to proactively discuss these potential situations with their neighbors, ensuring a mutual understanding of the process. Should any damages occur, it is the responsibility of the pool owner to negotiate and communicate with their neighbor regarding repairs or reimbursement. And after the pool is all ready, you can always invite the neighbors for a dip and a cold one. It's a great way to extend an olive branch and celebrate the completion of a project that enhances not just your home but the entire neighborhood's summer vibes. So, before you start digging, don't forget to knock on your neighbor's door – a small step that can make a big difference in fostering good relationships!
