From Consultation To Pool School™
A Clear Process From First Conversation to First Swim.
01
Backyard Consultation
We learn what you want to create, evaluate your property, and talk through your options. We start by meeting with you to explore your lifestyle, preferences, and backyard layout. Our team takes the time to listen closely, answer all your questions, and walk you through each phase of the pool installation.
02
Design & Proposal
We develop your plan, walk through the details, and provide clear, up-front pricing within 24 hours. We’ll collaborate on design ideas, help you select models, finishes, and features, and ensure your vision aligns with structural best practices and your budget.
03
Construction
Our team manages your project from excavation through completion, keeping you informed along the way.
Excavation and gravel foundation: Using a ZIP level, we determine exact elevations so the pool sits perfectly in your yard. Following manufacturer specifications, the hole is dug about one foot wider than the pool shell and about 3½ inches deeper to accommodate a gravel base that provides a stable foundation and prevents shifting or settling over time.
Plumbing and filter system: Next, we install the plumbing and top-quality equipment—typically from Pentair—including a circulation pump, filter, optional salt-water chlorinator, pool lights, and heater connections as needed. All plumbing is completed before back-filling to ensure accuracy and correct fit.
Backfilling, coping, and decking: We fill the pool with water and back-fill the perimeter with gravel at the same time to balance pressures and maintain shell integrity. After inspection and approval, we install coping and patio decking, which anchors the pool and finishes the exterior look. A fence is installed around the pool to meet code and offer safety and peace of mind.
04
Pool School™
We teach you how everything works so you can enjoy your new pool with confidence. Your pool is complete—time to dive in!
