OUR ALBANY, NY POOL & BACKYARD DESIGN SERVICES INCLUDE

Choosing a Fiberglass Pool
Fiberglass pools are strong, durable, and low-maintenance—perfect for your Albany, NY, backyard oasis. Unlike concrete pools, they install quickly, and their smooth surface resists algae and makes cleaning a breeze. Compared to vinyl pools, fiberglass pools don’t have liners that can tear or need replacing, which means fewer long-term maintenance costs and more time spent relaxing.
At Blue Spruce Landscape & Design, we partner with River Pools®, a leading pool manufacturer. They offer many options for fiberglass models in various pool shapes, each designed to bring people together and fit beautifully into your space. Customization options for Albany County homeowners include:
- Tanning Ledge Add-Ons
- Spa Add-Ons
- Color Choices
What to Know About Pool Permits in Albany
Installing a fiberglass inground pool in Albany or nearby towns usually requires a building permit, and we’re here to help guide the process. In the City of Albany, you’ll need a building permit, a zoning certificate, and possibly other approvals. Applications go through the city’s Buildings and Regulatory Compliance department.
As Albany, NY pool contractors, together with River Pools® Capital Region, we’re familiar with the permitting requirements in cities and suburbs across Albany County, including Bethlehem, Delmar, Guilderland, Loudonville, and Slingerlands. While homeowners are ultimately responsible for securing permits, our team can help coordinate with local building departments and provide the documentation needed to move your project forward smoothly. And if your property is part of a homeowners association (HOA), we’ll help you navigate the process.
We’ll ensure you know what to expect, so there are no surprises along the way.
