Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time of year to install a pool in Minnesota?
The ideal time to install a pool is during spring or early summer. This schedule allows ample time for planning, permits, excavation, and construction before peak swimming season begins. Starting early also helps avoid delays caused by unpredictable weather later in the year, ensuring a smooth installation process.
Do I need a permit to install a pool?
Yes, most Minnesota cities—including Lakeville—require permits for pool installation. We take care of the entire permitting process, including submitting plans, obtaining approvals, and scheduling inspections. This ensures your new pool meets all local codes, safety regulations, and zoning laws, preventing future legal or insurance complications.
How long does pool installation take?
Most residential pool installations take 6 to 10 weeks from start to finish. The timeline depends on your chosen pool type, weather conditions, site preparation, and any added features like decking or spas. We provide a clear schedule and updates throughout to keep you informed at every phase.
What type of pool is best for Minnesota's climate?
For Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, fiberglass and concrete pools are top choices due to their durability and weather resistance. We help assess your property, soil, and design goals to recommend the ideal pool material that offers strength, long-term performance, and aesthetic compatibility with your outdoor space.
Can I add a hot tub or spa to my pool project?
Absolutely. We offer integrated spa installations that pair seamlessly with your main pool. Hot tubs can be attached or stand-alone, depending on your layout. Adding a spa provides year-round enjoyment and therapeutic benefits, enhancing the overall value and luxury of your backyard retreat.
How do you maintain a pool in winter?
Winter maintenance is essential in Minnesota. We provide pool winterization services that include draining lines, protecting plumbing, covering the surface, and storing equipment.

Testimonials
We had spoken to several people about quotes for new sod and Brandon from You Betcha Outdoor Services was extremely responsive and gave us a very fair price. Brandon gave us timeline and not only met it but was done earlier than quoted. The job was done professionally and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend You Betcha Outdoor Services and will be using them again for our next job.

Brandon and his team were very helpful in designing and follow through on my entire project. Very happy with my annual garden refresh, new steppers installed and a small water feature to finish out our existing patio. He was even able to make a last minute addition of 20 trees to our empty extra lot. Very respectful crew. My family and I really appreciate that.
