Pool Construction

Pools, Built as Part of the Backyard

Pools shouldn't be a separate project from the yard. When the deck, coping, equipment, and planting are planned together, the result is calmer and more useful.

Overview

What this service actually is.

We build pools the right way: full structural shell, properly sized equipment, clean equipment pad, and integrated coping and decking. Spas, tanning ledges, baja shelves, and integrated water features are part of the design conversation.

Because we also do the hardscape, the pool integrates with the deck rather than fighting it.

What's included

  • Design and structural engineering
  • Excavation, plumbing, and steel
  • Gunite/shotcrete shell
  • Tile, coping, and decking
  • Plaster or pebble interior
  • Equipment pad — pump, filter, heater, automation
  • Permits and inspections
Our process

How a pool construction project runs.

01

Consultation

We start with a no-pressure consultation — usually a walkthrough at your home — to understand how you use the space, the constraints, and what a successful pool build looks like for you.

02

Design & Scope

We translate the goals into drawings, materials, and a written scope with realistic line-item pricing. Nothing vague, nothing buried.

03

Permits & Pre-Construction

We pull permits, finalize selections, schedule trades, and protect the rest of your home before demolition. You receive a written timeline.

04

Build

One project manager, consistent crew, weekly written updates, and clean job sites. Inspections handled by us.

05

Punch List & Closeout

We walk the project with you, complete the punch list, hand over warranties and care guides, and stay reachable after closeout.

Common concerns

What homeowners ask before signing.

How long to build?

Typical 3–5 months from dig to first swim, depending on weather and finish detail.

Salt or chlorine?

Salt is easier on skin and equipment; chlorine is simpler upfront. We discuss both.

Equipment placement?

We plan equipment pads with sound, service access, and view lines in mind.
