The Building Process

How We Build Your Pool

After defining what you want in your backyard, we can get the project moving and start building! During this process, the backyard can get a little messy and have areas to be cautionary around, especially with children and animals. We install temporary fencing to protect from unwanted visitors entering your yard. The process is all worth it in the end when you have your beautiful backyard ready for the friends and family to enjoy!

Following the contractual agreement, the building process starts off with marking the yard. We lay the pool out with flags and paint in order for you to better envision where exactly the pool will fit in your backyard. Upon your approval, excavation is scheduled.

After excavation, we prepare to shoot gunite by first installing stub out, or soft plumbing, and then rebar, which ensures the structural integrity of the pool. Once completed, we move onto gunite. Shooting gunite takes one business day and is the most important part of the process. We have worked with excellent subcontractors, especially for Gunite, for many years and create strong, durable pools. Gunite needs to cure for 14 to 28 days.

During that process, components of the pool construction are completed. From gunite, we move onto plumbing and electrical, then tile and coping, decking, and lastly, plaster. We are fortunate to work with knowledgeable and talented subcontractors that will deliver you the pool you have been wanting for years!

Step by Step

The Building Process

01

Mark the Yard

We lay the pool out with flags and paint so you can better envision where exactly the pool will fit in your backyard. Upon your approval, excavation is scheduled.

02

Excavation

Once the layout is approved, our team begins excavation — shaping the earth to match your custom pool design.

03

Plumbing & Rebar

We install stub out, or soft plumbing, and then rebar, which ensures the structural integrity of the pool throughout its lifetime.

04

Gunite

Shooting gunite takes one business day and is the most important part of the process. We work with excellent subcontractors for many years. Gunite cures for 14 to 28 days.

05

Plumbing & Electrical

While gunite cures, we complete the plumbing and electrical systems — pumps, filtration, lighting, and automation.

06

Tile & Coping

Our tile and coping work defines the aesthetic edge of your pool. From travertine to natural stone, we match the look to your home.

07

Decking

Concrete, pavers, travertine — your deck becomes the gathering space that frames the pool and extends your outdoor living area.

08

Plaster

The final step: plaster gives your pool its beautiful, waterproof finish. Once complete, we fill the pool and walk you through everything you need to know.
