When is the "best" time to get a gunite pool installed?
I see you are from VA. If you're in an area that doesn't get frost into the ground, then it would be safe to install a pool at any time during the year. Just guessing here, but I would imagine that pool companies would be begging for business shortly after the pool closing season, late fall, early winter, or before the ground freezes and snow falls. Definitely that way here in the north country.  Again, really just a guess, got no evidence for ya. Maybe one of our contributors from your area may have some better advise.
