Inground pool builders in Harvest, AL
Pools and decks for Harvest's newer subdivisions and larger rural lots in unincorporated northwest Madison County.
Harvest is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in northwestern Madison County, with about 5,900 residents in 2020 and an estimated 6,900 by 2024. Most residents work in Madison or Huntsville, and residential construction is a major part of the local economy. A rail line shaped its early growth, and the abandoned roadbed is now Old Railroad Bed Road. Capshaw Mountain rises about 800 feet above the surrounding area.
Pool projects in Harvest
Lots in Harvest are often larger than in the city, which leaves room for a bigger pool, a wide deck and easy equipment access. That makes all three pool types practical here. Harvest has also been hit by strong tornadoes several times, including in 1974, 2011 and 2012, so many homeowners think about storm cleanup. A solid safety cover keeps debris out and doubles as a barrier option.
Typical pool work in Harvest
- Large vinyl liner pools for family swimming
- Fiberglass pools with built-in ledges and steps
- Gunite pools with spas on bigger lots
- Decks, patios and fencing
- Automatic safety covers
County permits and barriers
Because Harvest is unincorporated, pool permits generally go through Madison County's Building Inspection Department. The county's pool barrier form, based on the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, applies to new or altered pools more than 24 inches deep, and the barrier has to be in place before the pool is filled.
