Construction

See how our process takes ideas and makes them a reality.

Excavation

  • Once the pool placement is laid out, elevations set, and all are approved by the homeowner, we begin the excavation
  • Keep in mind the dig area is larger than the finished pool dimensions
  • The project will “grow as is goes”. When painted on the ground it looks small but takes shape as it takes shape
  • Fun fact – holes dug on a Full Moon will have more dirt to backfill with than those dug on a New Moon.

    • The Hull

  • The details of this step vary slightly depending on the type of construction. The second payment is due when the walls are poured.
  • With gunite construction the steel rebar is installed, plumbing run, and the floor is poured with concrete.
  • The walls are then shot with gunite and tile installed.
  • If your pool is our hybrid concrete wall/vinyl liner pool with tanning shelves and benches, the forms are set, rebar installed, and concrete poured within the forms. The forms are stripped the next day and plumbing run to equipment pad.
  • On our Hybrid pools, we allow the walls to cure for a full week before the next phase. During the week the steps and benches are set, approved by the homeowner, and liner measurements are plotted.
  • With both types of construction, we will need to establish the equipment pad location, location for a porta-potty if applicable, and a location for a concrete wash-out box.

    • The Deck

  • Once the pool is backfilled, we can install the paver or stone coping.
  • Steel rebar is then installed on a grid and tied into the pool structure to complete the ultimate structural integrity – not all pools have this level of complete construction.
  • Ground wire is put in place and inspected by the building inspectors.
  • The decking is then installed, making the deck draw due.

    • The Interior Finish (Gunite)

    The details of this step vary slightly depending on the type of construction:

  • With gunite construction the interior is cleaned and prepped, and the finish installed. The finish may be marcite or exposed pebble aggregate. The exposed pebble aggregate is by far the superior material; it is more durable and smoother than the marcite finish. The pool is filled within hours.
  • It is important to fill the pool without stopping the water so no soil ring is left on the still fresh finish.

    • The Interior Finish (Vinyl)

  • If your pool is a vinyl liner pool, the vermiculite bottom is poured and walls are pre-lined with a foam sheet. The final prep is done the following day and the liner is installed. Your liner has been measured to exacting standards, sometimes requiring over 200 measurements.
  • We begin filling the pool immediately and allow it to fill to the top of the bottom step. At that time we install the rest of the faceplates and lights. We then fill your pool completely.

    • The Final

  • We will have the water in your pool balanced when we schedule a training session with you.
  • It is important that we teach you how to operate your pool at your pool with your equipment. And we are always only a phone call away for any questions that arise.
  • The final payment is due at this time. You are SWIMMING!

    Design & Build

    Any time is a good time to build a pool. If you build it in the winter it takes longer but is ready by the time you are ready in the spring. In the summer we build them quicker because of the weather but it feels like forever on those hot days.

    Pool Construction

    I have never been to a yard where a swimming pool could not be built due to the terrain. Use slight elevation changes, hillsides, and mountainsides in the design to achieve exciting results. I like to create elevation changes even on level yards

    Water Features

    Everyone has different ideas and everyone has a different backyard, the serene sound of water flowing from a fountain, water bowl or a waterfall can only enhance the stage of relaxation you drift into.

    Outdoor Living

    From summer barbecues to winter evenings by the fire, your outdoor living space is a great place to relax and unwind. Regardless of your backyard’s size, there are so many ways to get creative and create an inviting space.
