Your pool is a significant investment, and how it's opened and closed each year has a direct impact on how long it lasts and how much it costs you to maintain. At Aquascapes Pools & Excavating, we offer professional pool opening and closing services designed to keep your pool in top shape year after year — so you can spend more time enjoying it and less time worrying about it.
We service pools we installed and pools we didn't. If you have a pool in Southwest Ohio and need it handled correctly each season, we're the team to call. We treat every pool like it's our own.
When the weather warms up and you're ready to swim, we'll get your pool ready fast. Our spring opening service includes removing and carefully storing your winter cover, reconnecting and starting up all pool equipment, reassembling any accessories or fittings that were winterized in the fall, and checking for any damage that may have occurred over the winter months.
We also test and balance your water chemistry — pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and chlorine — so the pool is safe and swim-ready from day one. We'll walk you through anything we noticed during the opening so you're never caught off guard by a developing issue. No surprises, no upsells — just honest service.
Spring spots fill up fast, especially in April and May when everyone wants their pool open at the same time. We recommend scheduling early — ideally in February or March — to lock in your preferred date.
Closing your pool correctly is just as important as opening it. An improper winterization can lead to cracked pipes, damaged equipment, and a costly mess in the spring. Our fall closing service is thorough and methodical because we know what Ohio winters can do to an improperly closed pool.
We start with a thorough chemical treatment to prevent algae and scale buildup over the winter months. Then we lower water levels as needed, blow out and plug all plumbing lines, and properly winterize your pump, filter, heater, and any other equipment. Finally, we install your winter cover securely so it stays in place through wind, snow, and ice.
When we're done, your pool is fully protected and ready to sleep through the Ohio winter without a problem. And when spring comes back around, reopening will be smooth and straightforward.
Many of our opening and closing customers have been coming back to us year after year for a decade or more. They trust us to show up when scheduled, do the work right, and leave the job site clean. That kind of consistency is something we take seriously.
We know Ohio weather, we know pools, and we genuinely care about keeping yours in great condition. Whether you've been a customer for years or you're calling us for the first time, you'll get the same level of attention and care.
Reach out in early spring or early fall to schedule your service — and don't wait too long. Our schedule fills up quickly at the start and end of every season.
