Previously I was able to start using my pool in late April. This year i didn't get to use it in May because of all the rain and cloudy days we had. To me, ideal pool weather is 90+ degrees and sunny.
I wouldn't enjoy my pool nearly as much if my backyard wasn't sunny. Some people like a shady pool, but not me. Consider the location of your trees relative to the pool. Not just regarding shade but also the debris the trees will drop in the pool.
A pool heater is extremely expensive to run. I will never run my heater again barring another freeze like we had in February where I will run it just to prevent my pool equipment from being damaged. Up north y'all have to winterize your pool. I have no clue what that entails.
I find pool maintenance to be very easy if you stay on top of it. I also don't find it particularly expensive to maintain a pool.
Definitely like my trees for look and privacy, so debris will actually be an issue.
Also would be heated, so that's another issue.
Will likely just evaluate this summer and see how often I feel I can't live without one.

Congrats G!
Basically, this is where I was coming from regarding spending too much time/effort/$$$ on cosmetic touchups; I don't think they're relevant in these types of markets.
