âI am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the washtub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparationsâ¦.I have built my own factory on my own ground.â. Madam Walker.
The average in-ground swimming pool costs $21,919, according to home improvement site Fixr. And thatâs for a pretty basic 32â by 16â model. But thatâs just to build the thing. Then you have to take care of it.
On average, an in-ground pool can cost anything from $12,000 to $50,000. An above-ground pool may be a bit cheaper. But, if you want to add more features such as waterfalls, lights, attached spa, upgraded filtration and sanitizing equipment, concrete, etc., it may cost a lot more!
