Pool Buying Costs

In the Capital Region, a basic in-ground pool with the standard 3 feet of concrete decking and no frills can start as low as $17,000. Add more concrete, basic landscaping, lighting, electric, fencing and everything else you'll need and your costs will raise to closer to $25,000. If your yard is sloped you'll need a retaining wall, and your costs can rise to over $100,000 if want that 15-foot waterfall that cascades into the gardens around the pool. For a pool with the works, think $200,000!
