From First Call to First Swim—Here’s How It

Every Beautiful Pool Starts with
We guide you through each phase—from vision to design, construction to the final water drop—with expert care and thoughtful communication. While every backyard is unique, our proven process ensures consistency, clarity, and trust every step of the way.
a Plan
Step One:
Discovery & Design
This is where the vision begins.
It starts with an initial phone call to get to know your goals, your lifestyle, and your dream space. Then, we meet at your property for a design consultation—where we gather measurements, assess elevations, explore inspiration, and share our curated offerings.
Within 4–5 days, our design team presents a custom 3D concept—either in your home or at our office—so you can see your future pool come to life. We’ll walk you through every feature, discuss revisions, and review an initial cost estimate. Once you're ready, we sign the contract and the dream is officially in motion.
Step Two:
Pre-Construction
Once the design is approved, we handle all the details to prepare for the build.
We create detailed construction documents, submit for permits (if applicable), and coordinate a pre-construction meeting. This is when your dedicated superintendent is introduced—so you know exactly who will be managing your project day-to-day.
As soon as permits are approved, excavation is scheduled—usually within five business days. From here, the transformation begins.
Step Three:
Phase One – Groundwork
The foundation is laid—literally.
– Excavation kicks things off, shaping your future pool.
– Rebar and plumbing are installed for strength and function.
– Soil injections may be added for stability and longevity.
– City inspections (if required) are coordinated before we move forward.
This phase sets the stage for everything that follows—executed with precision and purpose.
Step Four:
Phase Two – Craftsmanship
Here’s where your vision takes shape.
– Gunite shoot: The shell of the pool is sculpted with care, giving form to the design you’ve been dreaming of.
– 10-day hydration break: We take care of daily watering to ensure strength and longevity.
– Masonry begins: Tile, coping, stonework, fire pits, seating, and more come to life.
– Electrical + plumbing rough-ins are completed to support lighting and equipment.
– Deck injections and concrete work finish out the hardscaping.
– Clean & grade crews prepare your space for final touches.
Throughout this phase, we keep your site clean, organized, and progressing smoothly.
Step Five:
Final Touches & Startup
We’re almost there—this is where it all comes together.
– Irrigation adjustments and repairs are made.
– A detailed pre-plaster walkthrough ensures everything is complete. You’ll sign off, and we collect final payment.
– Plaster is applied, followed by any specialty finishes like spray deck or turf.
– Our 28-day startup begins: chemical balancing, equipment fine-tuning, and automation setup.
At the two-week mark, we’ll host your Pool School—a personal walkthrough with our warranty technician who will guide you through maintenance, features, and care.
And just like that… your backyard retreat is ready.
How long does the process take from start to finish?
Most of our projects take 6-8 weeks from permit to final finish, depending on scope, weather, and complexity. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront—and communicate clearly along the way.
Do I need to have a design in mind before we start?
Not at all. Some clients come to us with inspiration photos; others just know how they want the space to feel. We’ll guide you through the design process and help you visualize your options through 3D renderings.
Is this a messy process? What can I expect during construction?
While pool construction is naturally disruptive, we go to great lengths to keep your site clean, organized, and respectful of your home. Our crew is professional, communicative, and careful at every phase.
What’s included in your pool projects?
Each design is customized to your lifestyle and vision, but we offer everything from pool construction and spas to water features, outdoor kitchens, lighting, and smart automation. You’ll have a clear scope and pricing before anything begins.
Can you work with my budget?
We design with intention—and with honesty. We’ll help you understand what’s possible within your budget, and suggest beautiful, practical solutions that don’t sacrifice quality or style.
Do you offer automation or easy maintenance options?
Yes—this is one of our favorite upgrades. Our Peace of Mind Automation system handles water chemistry, dosing, and filtration automatically. It's perfect for busy families and those who want luxury without the maintenance stress.
What if I’ve never built anything like this before?
You're in the right place. We specialize in guiding clients who are new to outdoor projects—making the process feel approachable, transparent, and even enjoyable.
You Bring the Vision. We’ll Bring it to
