What is different about a San Antonio pool project
| Swim season | Long and hot, with strong use from spring through early fall. |
|---|---|
| Ground | Limestone and caliche are common and can add excavation cost. |
| Water | Edwards Aquifer drought stages can bring water-use rules, so homeowners may ask about filling and covers. |
