Batavia is a community that knows how to enjoy the outdoors. With the Fox River running through the heart of town, miles of trails, neighborhood parks, and a strong family atmosphere, warmer weather naturally draws people outside. For homeowners, that makes the backyard an opportunity to create something more—a private place to swim, entertain, relax, and spend summer together without having to leave home.
Sonco Pools & Spas brings more than 40 years of Northern Illinois pool experience to Batavia homeowners. We install premium Barrier Reef Fiberglass Pools and provide fiberglass resurfacing, vinyl liner replacement, concrete pool replastering, equipment upgrades, professional water testing, pool chemicals, and swimming pool renovation services.
Batavia’s housing reflects the city’s history and growth. Established neighborhoods may feature mature trees, developed landscaping, and existing patios, while newer homes can offer more open backyard layouts ready to be designed from the ground up.
Those differences matter when planning a swimming pool.
Rather than beginning with a predetermined layout, we consider the home’s architecture, yard dimensions, access, drainage, utilities, landscaping, and how the family wants to use the space. Barrier Reef Fiberglass Pools are available in numerous sizes and configurations, including designs with open swimming areas, integrated seating, and tanning ledges.
The result should be more than a pool that physically fits. It should leave enough space for people to move comfortably, entertain, relax, and enjoy the rest of the backyard.
Not every Batavia backyard needs a brand-new swimming pool. An established pool can often be given an entirely new look through the right combination of renovation and equipment improvements.
Sonco Pools & Spas offers fiberglass resurfacing, vinyl liner replacement, concrete pool replastering, lighting improvements, and equipment modernization. Older pumps, filters, heaters, and controls can often be replaced with modern equipment that improves convenience and helps the pool operate more efficiently.
We also provide professional water testing, quality pool chemicals, replacement equipment, and experienced guidance to help Batavia homeowners maintain clean, balanced water throughout the swimming season.
Northern Illinois summers never seem quite long enough. A backyard swimming pool gives your family another reason to make the most of every warm afternoon and long summer evening.
Whether you’re starting with an open backyard or considering what to do with an aging swimming pool, Sonco Pools & Spas can help you evaluate your options and create a plan that makes sense for your property.

Start with more than the dimensions of the pool. Batavia homeowners should consider backyard access, property setbacks, utilities, drainage, existing patios, landscaping, and how much space they want to preserve for entertaining. Thinking about the entire backyard early in the process can lead to a pool layout that works better with the property and the family’s lifestyle.
Yes, depending on the property. Mature trees and established landscaping can add tremendous character to a backyard, so the goal isn’t automatically to remove everything around the proposed pool area. Tree roots, installation access, shade, falling debris, and drainage should be evaluated before determining which landscape features can reasonably remain.
Fiberglass pools can perform very well in Northern Illinois when they’re professionally installed, properly winterized, and supported by appropriate drainage. Batavia’s freeze-thaw conditions make proper installation especially important. Seasonal closing procedures also help protect the pool, plumbing, and equipment when temperatures drop below freezing.
Yes. Depending on the existing pool’s condition and construction, renovation options may include fiberglass resurfacing, vinyl liner replacement, concrete replastering, new lighting, equipment upgrades, and other improvements. Renovating can be an excellent way to refresh an established Batavia backyard without completely replacing a pool that still has years of useful life remaining.
That depends on how the family plans to use the pool. Integrated seating provides places to relax and socialize, while tanning ledges create versatile shallow-water areas. Families interested in active swimming may prioritize more open water. Sonco Pools & Spas helps homeowners compare layouts based on their property and how they expect to use the pool.
In many cases, yes. Modern automation can simplify control of pumps, filtration schedules, heaters, lighting, and other compatible equipment. Updating controls can be especially useful when renovating an older Batavia pool because homeowners can improve everyday convenience without necessarily rebuilding the entire swimming pool.
The largest pool isn’t always the best pool. A thoughtfully selected fiberglass model can leave valuable space for patio furniture, landscaping, grilling, walkways, and entertaining. Looking at the backyard as one complete environment rather than trying to maximize pool size often produces a more comfortable and useful finished space.
Fall and winter can be excellent times to start discussing a future pool because they provide additional time to consider models, property conditions, permitting, equipment, and scheduling. Beginning early can also give homeowners more time to coordinate patios, landscaping, fencing, and other improvements before they want to begin enjoying the finished backyard.
Yes. Sonco Pools & Spas provides professional water testing, pool chemicals, replacement equipment, and experienced support for pool owners throughout the region. Proper water chemistry and equipment performance are important for protecting the pool finish, maintaining comfortable swimming conditions, and avoiding preventable maintenance problems.
