Angel’s Pools closes, winterizes and looks after pools in Scarsdale and builds the stonework around them. Family-run from Peekskill since 1998 — about 35 minutes away— with pool care and masonry handled by one in-house crew.
Book your Scarsdale closing before the first hard freeze.
Close your Scarsdale pool once the water holds below about 65°F for several days running — usually mid-October to early November in Westchester County. An Angel’s Pools closing lowers the water, clears and plugs the lines, adds winter chemicals and fits your safety cover. Call (914) 737-1445 or request a quote online.
Westchester County winters swing back and forth across freezing. Water left in a return line expands when it freezes and splits the pipe, and the same freeze-thaw cycle lifts coping stones and works mortar joints loose around the deck. Neither shows up until spring, and both cost more than the closing did.
Leaves are the other Scarsdale problem. The Village runs its own fall leaf collection program, which tells you how much comes down here — and leaves that sink and sit through winter stain the finish and feed algae under the cover.
Village rules matter too. Scarsdale pool permits are issued with the enclosure detail approved by the Board of Appeals, with fencing that meets Village Code §265-1 and gaps no wider than two inches, and the plans specify a cover, safety alarms and anti-entrapment devices. A torn cover is not just a pool problem here, and it is worth dealing with before winter rather than after.
Lower the water level to the right height for the winter.
Clear and plug the lines so nothing is left in the plumbing to freeze and split. Water left in a return line is the expensive winter mistake, and it is entirely avoidable.
Add winter chemicals so the water keeps through to spring.
Fit the safety cover over a pool that is ready to sit until opening day.
A safety cover keeps the pool clean through the off-season and guards against accidental intrusion by children, pets and wildlife. We fit one at every closing, and we install and service GLI Secur-A-Pool covers.
Scarsdale pool permits are approved with the enclosure and cover details set out by the Board of Appeals, so a cover that no longer sits tight is worth dealing with before winter rather than after.

Most pool companies hand the stonework to a subcontractor, and most masons will not touch water chemistry. We do both in-house — coping repair and replacement, stone patios and pool decks — so when the freeze-thaw cycle lifts a coping stone, the people who look after the water are the people who reset the stone. No second contractor, no finger-pointing. Angel Lojano founded Angel’s Pools in 1998 and still oversees every project himself.
Winter is the time to plan what you want ready for opening day: a patio or pool deck, re-plastering, or a fireplace. Our guide to travertine, bluestone and pavers covers the choice.

Patios, pool decks, walkways and stone walls.
Fireplaces and fire pits that keep the yard in use past summer.
Close once the water temperature stays below about 65°F for several days in a row — usually mid-October to early November around Scarsdale. Below that, algae grows slowly and winter chemicals last until spring. Close before the first hard freeze so the lines can be blown out safely.
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.
Not necessarily, but it is close. The risk in November is an overnight freeze reaching water still sitting in the plumbing, which splits pipes and cracks equipment. Call as soon as you can — if a freeze is forecast, say so and we will tell you honestly where you stand.
A heater holds water in its heat exchanger, and that water freezing is what cracks the unit — one of the most expensive repairs a pool owner gets handed in spring. We install and service gas heaters and heat pumps, so ask us about yours when you book your closing.
Bring us out to look at it. We install and service safety covers, including GLI Secur-A-Pool, so we can tell you whether yours has another winter in it or needs replacing. Scarsdale pool permits are approved with the cover details set out by the Board of Appeals, so it is worth getting right.
The off-season. With the pool closed and the water down, re-plastering, waterline tile and coping can be done without losing swim time, and the work is finished before opening day. Booking in winter also means you are not waiting behind the spring rush.
We do, in-house. Angel’s Pools has built 300+ stonework projects across Westchester — 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.
