Our Custom Build Process

We guide you through three clear phases to go from blank grass to a backyard paradise.

Step 01

3D Architectural Design

We map your property survey and design a custom pool layout scaled to your exact boundary dimensions.

Step 02

Permitting & Engineering

We handle all municipal approvals, structural plans, high water table reviews, and coastal reviews.

Step 03

The Heavy Build

From double-grid steel frames to custom pebble finishes, we execute every phase with clean local craftsmanship.

Planning Your Backyard with Custom 3D Pool Designs

We believe in planning with precision. Before we touch a shovel, we create realistic 3D renderings of your custom pool, integrated spa, waterfalls, and landscaping layouts. This ensures every bench, deck tile, and step matches your lifestyle and property layout perfectly.

Custom Travertine Pool Decks & Coping

We build our pool decks to be both beautiful and durable. We install premium custom travertine coping and decks over concrete base slabs to prevent settling. Our structures are built with full screened enclosures or open waterfront spaces in mind, ensuring your pool deck and lanai feel like one integrated extension of your living space.

CONTRACTOR WARNING

Erik's Warning: Why We NEVER Shoot Concrete Over Mud

"Some builders cut costs by shooting shotcrete straight onto mud without using spacer blocks (dobies) to lift the steel grid. Over time, that steel sinks into the wet dirt, rusts, expands, and splits the concrete floor. We use steel spacer blocks on every single build to ensure a full 3-inch concrete barrier protects our steel frame."

Frequently Asked Questions

Key answers about our custom concrete pool building process.

Yes, we provide full 3D renderings of your pool, deck, spa, and landscaping so you can visualize the entire space before permitting starts.

Every pool shell we build is custom-engineered and adapted directly to on-site soil, load, and water table conditions, utilizing tied structural steel rebar cages for long-term concrete stability.

The physical dig and build can generally be completed within 6 to 8 weeks from the excavation phase to plaster and pool start-up, depending on design complexity.
