Pool Openings & Closings

Your pool should be ready when the season starts — and protected when the season ends. At Ashleys Backyard, we make pool openings and closings simple, reliable, and hassle-free so you can enjoy your pool without the stress.

Whether you need your pool opened for summer fun or professionally winterized before freezing temperatures arrive, our team helps protect your investment and keep your system running properly year after year.

Pool Opening Services

When warm weather returns, we’ll get your pool cleaned up, equipment running, and ready for swimming season.

Our pool opening services may include:

  • Removal and folding of winter cover
  • Reinstallation of pool equipment
  • Pump and filter startup
  • System inspection for leaks or issues
  • Reconnection of plumbing and fittings
  • Initial water circulation setup
  • Pool vacuuming and debris removal
  • Basic chemical balancing and startup treatment
  • Heater startup (if applicable)

We’ll make sure everything is operating properly so your pool is safe, clean, and swim-ready as quickly as possible.


Pool Closing Services

Closing your pool properly is one of the best ways to prevent costly damage during the winter months. Our closing service helps protect your plumbing, equipment, and pool structure from freezing temperatures and winter weather.

Our pool closing services may include:

  • Lowering water to proper winter level
  • Blowing out and winterizing plumbing lines
  • Adding winter chemicals
  • Removing and storing accessories
  • Draining pumps, filters, and heaters
  • Installing winter plugs and protection devices
  • Securing the winter cover
  • Final system shutdown and inspection

A professionally closed pool helps reduce spring cleanup, prevents freeze damage, and extends the life of your equipment.
