What We Build

We build custom pools and spas, both freeform and geometric, as residential work. Our team has transformed 2,000 backyards and counting. Many features are built during the project, not added later. Options include waterfalls, fountains, fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, and summer kitchens.

How the Design Phase Works

The process begins with a free phone consultation. We then visit your home, take measurements, and survey the space. Our designers create a 3D CAD rendering of your pool and yard. You will see the finished project before construction starts, and you can adjust shape, placement, and features at this stage. You can also meet us at our pool showroom in Livermore to select finishes in person. Choices include tile, coping, plaster, and decking materials. Read more in our swimming pool design service.

The Construction Sequence

Once the design is approved, we handle permits and set the layout on your lot. You will see the pool’s exact size and position before digging starts. After that, the build proceeds in stages: excavation, steel framework, plumbing and electrical, and the Gunite shell. Plumbing is pressure tested and electrical work meets city and state codes. Then the deck, tile, coping, and plaster go in, and the pool is filled. At start-up, we walk you through the equipment in a session we call “pool school” and provide a care manual.

Timeline: How Long a Build Takes

Once excavation begins, construction can be complete in as little as six weeks. Design and permitting come before digging and vary by project. For the full picture, read How Long Does It Take to Build a Pool? Bay Area Timelines.

Full Backyard Design With Yardzen

A pool is one part of the yard. We partner with Yardzen, an online landscape design platform. The pool plan and the yard plan can be developed together. As we shared on our blog, the partnership is available for new pools, remodels, and full backyard projects.

Warranty and Ongoing Care

Our pools are covered by a Lifetime Structural Warranty. Pool equipment is covered by the manufacturer’s 3-year limited parts and labor warranty. After the build, we remain available for questions about care and equipment. If you are buying a home with a pool, we also provide swimming pool inspections.
