The Design Process

Numerous factors are considered in your custom pool design.

We take the time to ensure all wants, needs, and requirements—both present and future—are explored.
Our advanced pool design software lets you visualize your proposed design in 3D.
With 3D design you can "try on" different elements and features before making a decision.
Once a design aligns with your lifestyle, budget, and home aesthetic, we move forward.
We assist you with your HOA approval process by providing the necessary documents and ensuring all requirements are met. Additionally, we contact 811 to locate and mark underground utilities for a smooth and safe project.

The Pool Build Process

Site Preparation: We mark the designated pool area according to the approved plan.
Excavation: The site is carefully excavated to prepare for construction.
Rebar Framework: The pool frame is reinforced with #3 rebar at 8” centers for durability.
Gunite Application: Gunite is applied to form the pool shell, including walls, floors, sundeck, benches, and stairs.
Curing Process: For the first week homeowners must water the gunite shell twice daily (morning and night) for proper curing (about 5 minutes each time).
Installation: Tile and coping, plumbing and electrical, decking, plaster and interior finish.
Quality Assurance: Falls in the trust and bond you have found in the company you chose to build with! Given our extreme attention to detail, we ensure top quality craftsmanship and customer service that is unparalleled.

Pool Start-Up and Walk-through

Start-Up Phase: Begins once the pool is filled with water.

Walk-Through: Covers pool functions, including lights, spa mode, and water features.
