Step-by-Step Phases of Our Expert Pool Construction Process

Phase 1:  Permit Approval & Preparation

Before construction begins, we handle all the permits and approvals required by local regulations. This process ensures compliance with zoning laws, safety codes, and HOA requirements (if applicable). We also coordinate site planning, layout marking, and utility checks to prepare for excavation. This step sets the foundation for a smooth construction process.

Phase 2: Excavation & Digging

With permits secured, the transformation begins! Our team carefully excavates your backyard according to the approved custom design, using professional-grade equipment to ensure precision, proper depth, and minimal disruption to the surrounding landscape. During this phase, we also assess soil conditions and make necessary grading adjustments to create a stable foundation for your dream pool.

Phase 3:   Steel Reinforcement

We install a strong steel rebar framework to reinforce the pool structure, ensuring durability and stability for years to come. This skeletal framework helps maintain the pool’s shape and structural integrity, providing long-term resistance against ground movement and water pressure. Each steel layout is custom-shaped to fit the unique design of your pool.

Phase 4:   Shell Application

This is where your pool truly starts taking shape. Using a high-pressure shotcrete process, we apply a durable concrete mixture over the steel framework, solidifying the pool shell with precision and strength. This material is highly customizable, allowing for various shapes, depths, and built-in features. The shell is then left to cure for several days to ensure maximum strength and long-lasting durability.

Phase 5: Backfill, Plumbing & Tile Installation

Once the pool shell is fully cured, we move forward with a comprehensive process that ensures both functionality and beauty:
✔ Backfilling & Grading – We adjust the surrounding ground to ensure proper drainage and a stable foundation.
✔ Plumbing Installation – We install high-quality pipes, drains, skimmers, and return lines to promote efficient water flow, filtration, and overall pool performance.
✔ Waterproofing & Tile Work – We apply a waterproof sealant where needed and install custom tile finishes along the waterline, adding a touch of elegance and ensuring long-lasting durability.

Phase 6: Decking & Footer Installation

We design and construct your pool deck to seamlessly transition from pool to patio, creating the perfect surrounding space for relaxation and entertainment. You can choose from various materials such as concrete, pavers, or natural stone to match your aesthetic. In this phase, we also install pool coping, providing a clean, finished edge around your pool, as well as footers for additional structural support—ideal for any custom features like waterfalls, fire pits, or pergolas.

Phase 7: Equipment Installation

In this phase, we install and connect all essential pool equipment, including pumps, filters, heaters, saltwater systems, and automation controls. Our electricians ensure all wiring is properly set up for lights, outlets, and automated systems. We test each component to ensure everything runs smoothly and efficiently, giving you a hassle-free pool experience.

Phase 8: Plaster & Final Touches

Your pool’s interior receives its final touch with a smooth, watertight finish. Choose from a variety of premium options like plaster, pebble, quartz, or other specialty finishes to suit your aesthetic preferences. Once applied, we fill the pool with water and carefully balance the chemicals to ensure optimal water quality and safe swimming conditions. Finally, we complete any last details to prepare your pool for use.

Phase 9:    Pool Safety

Before handing over your completed pool, we conduct a thorough safety inspection to ensure compliance with local safety regulations. This includes checking barriers, alarms, fences, and all required safety measures. Once everything is set, we walk you through pool operation, maintenance, and water care, ensuring you’re confident and ready to enjoy your new oasis with peace of mind.
