Pool Services & Stonework in Greenwich, CT

Once the water holds below about 65°F for several days running. Greenwich is really two climates: the shoreline holds its warmth into early November, while the backcountry to the north is higher, more wooded and often ready a week or more earlier.

Yes. A building permit is required before work begins on a pool, spa or hot tub at a one- or two-family home, and the safety barrier is part of that permit. The process runs through the town’s Building Inspection Division and includes sign-offs from Health, Zoning Enforcement, Wetlands, Sewer and the Tax Collector’s Office. Check the current detail with the town before you start.

Similar, not identical. Connecticut sets its barrier rules statewide: at least 48 inches above grade, no more than two inches of clearance underneath, openings too small to pass a four-inch sphere, and pedestrian gates that open outward away from the water and latch themselves. New York, a few minutes away across the Byram River, adds a pool alarm requirement that Connecticut handles differently.

It depends on the size of the pool and what the closing involves. We do not publish prices: every pool is quoted after an on-site look rather than over the phone, so the number you get is the number you pay. Call (914) 737-1445 and we will arrange a visit.

It changes what gets checked. Salt air works on metal first — ladder anchors, light rings, heater cabinets, cover hardware and springs — so on a shoreline closing we pay attention to the fixings as well as the plumbing. Corroded cover hardware is the thing most likely to let go mid-winter.

We do, in-house. Angel’s Pools has built 300+ stonework projects across Westchester and lower Fairfield County — patios, pool decks, walls, fireplaces and fire pits — with the same crew that services the pool. That means the stone around the water is specified for a pool surround, not a driveway.
