Call Now Custom LeisureScapes: London & Stratford Ontario’s pool, hot tub, and swim spa experts.
When you start researching inground pools in London, Stratford, or anywhere in our neck of the woods, the numbers online can be completely dizzying. You see everything from a “starting at” price that looks too good to be true, all the way up to six-figure luxury backyards that seem out of reach.
At Custom LeisureScapes, we believe in radical transparency. If you are trying to map out a budget, you need to understand where your money actually goes—and how skipping the corporate “fluff” can save you thousands of dollars while still delivering a premium backyard oasis built for our Ontario climate.
Not every backyard requires a resort-level budget. We help homeowners navigate three distinct investment tiers to ensure you get the right pool for your lifestyle:
1. The Luxury Oasis ($90,000+)
This tier represents a full backyard transformation. It includes custom concrete coping, extensive natural stone retaining walls, sheer descent water features, and multi-level patio designs that turn your property into a private getaway. This is for the homeowner who wants an architectural statement piece.
2. The Premium Standard ($65,000 – $85,000)
The most popular choice for families in Ontario. This typically covers a traditional, full-sized inground steel or vinyl-liner pool. It includes standard concrete surrounding, premium mechanical equipment (like high-efficiency pumps and salt chlorine generators) for easier maintenance, and automated water management systems.
3. The Streamlined Inground ($60,000 Range)
A hyper-efficient, “core-focused” layout—such as a 12×24 rectangle—that prioritizes structural integrity and reliable filtration. This tier skips expensive landscaping add-ons that can always be added in future seasons, ensuring you get the pool of your dreams without overextending your current finances.
You don’t need an Olympic-sized footprint or automated light shows to enjoy a private backyard retreat. The smartest way to keep your budget under control is to focus 100% on structural integrity and mechanical efficiency, while keeping the layout clean and simple.
Choosing a standard size allows us to utilize factory-optimized pool kits, which slashes installation time and material waste. Custom free-form shapes often require highly specialized engineering and custom-cut liners, which drives up labor costs significantly. By sticking to a streamlined geometric design, you maximize your swimming area while minimizing your financial footprint.
When planning, remember that the “pool shell” is only part of the equation. To build an accurate budget, you must factor in these essential components required for a complete, swim-ready Ontario backyard:
A premium backyard is a long-term investment in your property value and family time. You don’t have to drain your savings to get started; our flexible
financing options
allow you to enjoy your new backyard for a surprisingly low bi-weekly payment.
