How long does it take to build a swimming pool?
Every pool project is unique, and the timeline reflects that. Most custom pools take anywhere from six weeks to six months to complete, depending on the design’s complexity, site conditions, and the time of year—ensuring each detail is executed with the care and craftsmanship it deserves.
What does it cost to build a swimming pool?
The cost of a swimming pool varies based on design, size, and features. A thoughtfully designed, high-quality pool typically starts around $75,000, which includes all the essential components of the project, while larger, more intricate designs with custom finishes, water features, and integrated outdoor living spaces can exceed $200,000—an investment that delivers lasting value, enjoyment, and luxury for years to come.
How involved will I be in the design process?
You will be deeply involved throughout the entire design process. Every pool begins with your ideas, preferences, and lifestyle, and is brought to life using advanced 3D design software—allowing you to visualize the space before construction begins. We collaborate closely with you, refining and tailoring every detail until the design perfectly reflects your dream pool vision.
Can you design a pool to fit a small or uniquely shaped yard?
Absolutely. We specialize in designing beautiful, intentional pools for yards of all sizes and shapes, carefully maximizing every inch of space. Our goal is to enhance your property—not overwhelm it—by creating a pool that feels natural, balanced, and perfectly suited to its surroundings while unlocking your yard’s full potential.
Do you handle permits, engineering, and approvals?
Yes, we handle it all. From permits and engineering to inspections and approvals, we manage the entire process on your behalf—ensuring everything is properly coordinated, compliant, and seamless from start to finish.
Will you train us on how to operate and care for the pool?
Yes, absolutely. We provide a comprehensive “pool school” at project completion, where we personally walk you through how to operate, care for, and maintain your pool with confidence. Using state-of-the-art equipment and systems, we make ownership simple and stress-free—so your dream pool stays beautiful and easy to enjoy.
How do you ensure proper circulation and hydraulic efficiency?
Proper circulation and hydraulic efficiency start with getting the fundamentals right. We design and build every pool using proven hydraulic principles, high-quality materials, and state-of-the-art equipment and systems—ensuring optimal water flow, energy efficiency, and long-term performance that keeps your pool running beautifully for years to come.
How much maintenance will my pool require?
Like any operating system, swimming pools require regular maintenance, whether it’s handled by a professional service or done at home. We design our pools with efficient, easy-to-use systems and provide clear guidance on the basics, making upkeep simple, manageable, and stress-free—so you can spend more time enjoying your pool and less time worrying about it.
