It Gets Ugly Before It Gets Pretty

As pool builders one of the things we often hear from our customers is that they don't expect how messy the process of building an inground pool is. So we thought a blog about the pool-building stages would be the perfect way to explain your yard's appearance during the pool-building process.

The construction process has 5 big stages: Dig, Walls, Pool Bottom, Concrete deck/Plumbing, and Vinyl. Let’s dive into what each of these stages looks like!

Dig - As the name suggests the first step to building your inground pool is to dig the hole as per your dimensions. This is probably the messiest your pool is going to get. Our crew usually finished the dig in just one day.

Walls - After a hole of the necessary dimension is dug, our crew installs the pool walls. This is one of the most important steps. We use top-quality steel walls for all of our pools.

Backfill - After the walls are secured with turnbuckles, we work on the backfill. Unlike most pool companies that use sand for their backfill, we use crushed rock for our backfill. Using crushed rock ensures a strong structure that is long-lasting.

Pool Bottom -  This is a condensed step that includes installing the base of the pool, electric bonding, and pouring the concrete bottom. By the end of this step, you can usually see what your pool will look like!

Concrete Deck/Pump Pad- The stage is to build the concrete and finish installing the plumbing equipment. This step usually starts towards the end of the pool-bottom building.

Vinyl - Once the concrete in the pool has been set we install the liner that was chosen during pool designing. We offer many different types of liners. Check out our brochure to see the many options you can choose from.

After the vinyl is installed we finish up by installing any accessories you chose like lights, diving boards, and slides. Lastly we test the pool systems and do a rough yard grade so it looks neat.

We hope this blog gives some insight into what the pool building process looks like. Our crew is efficient and we try not to upset your neighbors. If your neighbors get tired of the mess don't forget to invite them for a cold one and a dip in your new pool!
