Pool Building Process

An experienced and professional Designer Consultant will visit your home to discuss your pool requirements. During the meeting, they will present a range of pool designs and assist in determining your specific preferences. Additionally, the consultant will take measurements of the yard, home, and its windows and doors, along with a myriad of pictures to ensure an accurate design can be created.

Before we commence construction, we provide every client with a 3-D computer generated design. These renderings are exceptionally lifelike, in full color, and to actual scale, and enable you to visualize how all the components of your pool design will blend with your home and project scope. During this phase, you have the opportunity to suggest any revisions or enhancements that may be required. Once your design is approved, we utilize this layout to develop drawings and initiate the layout process.

3. Selection of Materials

After the approval of your design, your Design Consultant will arrange a meeting with you at one of our Design Locations. During this visit, you will have the opportunity to explore various samples of tile, interior finish, decking, and stone. This will enable you to select the materials that align perfectly with your pool’s requirements.

1. Layout

The this phase marks the initial step in building your pool. During this stage, we will transfer the measurements and plans of the pool onto the designated site area. This allows us to visualize the pool’s actual size and shape, providing an excellent chance to make any necessary adjustments to its dimensions and placement before commencing excavation work.

2. Excavation

After completing the layout stage, our next step is to excavate the grass, underlying soil, and rock to properly prepare the site for pool construction.

3. Forming & Steel

Similar to how steel and wood are utilized to create a sturdy base for a house, they are also employed to shape and construct your pool. Although it may appear rough in appearance, it plays a crucial role as the framework for a pool scape that boasts exceptional structural strength.

4. Electrical & Plumbing

Prior to the gunite process, we complete the installation of all plumbing and electrical components. Our team conducts pressure tests on the plumbing system to ensure its functionality, while also ensuring that the electrical components comply with the required city and state codes.

5. Gunite Application

A proficient and experienced team diligently applies gunite, using high-pressure hoses, to form the sturdy inner shell of your new pool. Witnessing the application and careful working of the gunite concrete onto the forming structure is truly awe-inspiring, giving you the first glimpse of your dream pool coming to life.

6. Tile & Coping

You’ll find an impressive range of natural stone tiles, slates, ceramics, and mosaics to choose from. Our pool coping options are equally diverse, with the ability to craft them from natural stone such as limestone, brick, cement, or a variety of other materials.

7. Decking

This area surrounding your pool is known as the perimeter area. It offers a range of surfaces, including On Deck as well as custom stone or stamped concrete, depending on your design preferences. Additionally, we can incorporate various features into this space, such as outdoor fireplaces, firepits, fountains, summer kitchens, and more, as per your design specifications.

8. Interior Finish

Applying the interior finish is a task that demands both complexity and ease. It involves blowing the interior finish onto the gunite and necessitates a skilled and diligent crew to swiftly smooth the surface, ensuring a stunning finish. Once completed, the pool is promptly filled with water. Over the next 7 days, it is crucial for homeowners to diligently brush the pool twice a day to achieve the smoothest surface possible.
