Every backyard transformation begins as a vision, sunlight scattering across blue water, the soft glow of fire features at dusk, the laughter of family. It is in spaces such as these that the lines between home and retreat begin to blur, and yet, bringing this vision to life requires more than artistry and design; it requires a thoughtful path forward, a balance of both inspiration and practicality, and a team that ensures dreams are never deferred.
For many homeowners, the question is not “Do I want a pool?” but rather “How can I make this dream a reality?” In today’s economic landscape, where uncertainty lingers and priorities shift, financing has become an essential bridge between aspiration and achievement, bringing those dreams to life with ease and peace of mind.
Why Financing Matters More Than Ever
The decision to build a pool or renovate a backyard is one of the most meaningful investments a homeowner can make. It is not merely an addition to a property, but the creation of a lifestyle, one that emphasizes wellness, beauty, and connection. Yet in times of economic fluctuation, many homeowners are understandably hesitant, unsure of how to balance desire with practicality, or how to reconcile today’s ambitions with tomorrow’s uncertainties.
Financing offers that clarity and freedom. Rather than postponing a dream or compromising on scope, financing allows clients to move forward with confidence, creating luxury pools and custom outdoor living spaces that enrich both daily living and long-term property value. This is not simply about adding a pool, but rather, it is about shaping a complete environment, a place where mornings begin in reflection and evenings end in celebration, where the home itself becomes a destination.
For families on the Treasure Coast and beyond, the backyard has become more than an extension of the home, instead becoming the new heart, the focal point of both interior and exterior. It is where milestones are celebrated, where children grow, and where wellness is cultivated in a setting that is both beautiful and intentional. With thoughtful financing solutions, these experiences are not deferred, instead being realized now, in the present moment, with countless homeowners embracing the lifestyle they have always imagined, without any unnecessary delay.
How Pool & Backyard Financing Works
For many clients, financing feels complex, even intimidating, burdened with misconceptions that equity must be leveraged or that homes must be placed at risk as collateral. In reality, today’s financing solutions are designed to be flexible, accessible, and tailored specifically to the unique requirements of outdoor living projects.
With Lyon Financial, a longstanding partner of A&G Concrete Pools, homeowners can finance any portion of their dream custom pool. A single financing solution can encompass the entire backyard vision, providing cohesion and clarity as every detail comes together. This makes it possible for homeowners to think holistically about their project, designing spaces where water, fire, and gathering areas harmonize without any degree of compromise.
What makes this approach so distinctive is its specialization. Unlike banks, credit unions, or generic lenders, Lyon Financial focuses exclusively on pools and backyard enhancements. Their expertise ensures each financing plan aligns with the realities of construction, supporting projects in a way that feels both seamless and intentional. Financing, in this light, is not simply about affordability; it is about crafting access to luxury with the care and foresight that your dream deserves.
Why Lyon Financial Is Different
Since 1979, Lyon Financial has stood apart as more than a lender. They are financing consultants, dedicated to guiding homeowners through every stage of their backyard journey. Their exclusive network of lenders offers competitive rates, long-term loan options that extend up to 30 years, and solutions that require no home appraisals or equity.
Every application is personally reviewed by a member of their team, ensuring clients are matched with programs that best fit their profile and their project. This human touch creates reassurance, particularly in a process that too often feels transactional. Beyond approval, Lyon Financial remains engaged, disbursing funds directly to the pool company in phases as construction progresses. This provides a safeguard for homeowners and builders alike, maintaining trust and momentum until the project is complete.
It is this combination of longevity, specialization, and service that makes Lyon Financial unique. For A&G clients, it means financing mirrors the very values we bring to every waterscape: transparency, precision, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
What Homeowners Can Expect
When it comes to financing, clarity is everything. Lyon Financial offers terms that are designed to be both accessible and flexible, ensuring that homeowners can move forward with confidence.
Qualifications: Applicants are reviewed based on overall credit health, including credit score and debt-to-income ratio. A score of 640 or above is generally required, with a preference for a DTI under 50%. Each application is considered individually, with underwriters reviewing credit history, past payment performance, and experience with large secured or unsecured loans.
Rates: Rates depend on the applicant’s profile, with the most competitive rates reserved for those with excellent credit. While rates do adjust with shifts in the Federal Reserve, Lyon Financial consistently provides options that remain among the lowest in the industry, offering stability even in changing markets.
Terms: Loan terms extend up to 30 years, providing homeowners with long-term flexibility. There are no prepayment penalties, allowing borrowers to pay down balances ahead of schedule if desired.
Loan Amounts: Financing is available for amounts up to $200,000, often without requiring a down payment. In cases where full approval is not granted, homeowners can supplement with a partial payment or adjust the scale of their project.
Military Incentives: As a veteran-owned company, Lyon Financial extends discounted fees — and in some cases reduced rates — to members of the armed forces as a gesture of gratitude.
This clarity transforms financing from a point of hesitation into a foundation for action, helping homeowners pursue their projects with both excitement and certainty.
An Investment In Your Lifestyle
To finance a pool or backyard project is not to compromise on luxury, but rather, to embrace it with greater intention. Financing provides the opportunity to design without unnecessary constraint, creating a complete vision rather than piecemeal additions stretched over years. In this way, a financed project is not simply an expenditure, but an investment in family, in wellness, and in the daily rituals that make a home feel extraordinary.
The benefits of this investment extend far beyond leisure. A pool and curated outdoor living space crafted by a custom pool builder like A&G Concrete Pools enhances property value, creates enduring appeal, and positions the home as a place of distinction. Financing allows homeowners to align their projects with their priorities, and to enjoy today while investing in tomorrow.
