A Step-by-Step Look at the Pool Construction Process

At Valley Oasis Pools, our primary goal is to design a custom, high-end pool that perfectly aligns with your needs and lifestyle. We take the time needed to understand your goals and aesthetic and build a pool that fits your outdoor living space and enhances the beauty of your home. We use a careful process to help you choose every detail of your pool design and features. Our commitment to using quality materials and performing quality workmanship guarantees that the results will exceed your expectations. Here is a step-by-step look at our swimming pool construction process. 

Initial Consultation

We will visit your home to evaluate your space and the layout of your backyard. We will discuss your details and pool design ideas and show you examples of our past projects. We may take measurements, photos, and videos to use in the process. Then we will give you an initial estimate and timeline for pool building.

Pool Design and Features

If you decide to proceed, we’ll move on to the pool design process. We’ll create 3D renderings of your design and help you choose each detail and feature. We specialize in luxury, high-end swimming pool construction. We will guide you through the process of choosing the right pool shape and size, materials, and custom features. When we finalize your design and you have chosen all of your materials, we can give you a more detailed estimate for our services.

Integration With Your Outdoor Living Space

We can incorporate thoughtful details that enhance the comfort and beauty of your outdoor living space, from waterfalls and fire features to natural rock designs and pool landscaping. Whether you want to create a lush, tropical oasis or embrace the natural beauty of the Sonoran desert, we will work closely with you to choose each element of your landscaping and outdoor living design. 

Permitting and Materials

Next, we’ll handle the permitting process for you, making it as seamless and stress-free as possible. We will also begin utility mapping to ensure we don’t have any conflicts with underground utility lines. When your permits are secured, we’ll order all necessary materials. We only work with trusted, reputable companies that are known for their high-quality and durable materials.

Site Preparation and Excavation

While we’re waiting for your materials to arrive, we will begin site preparation. This may include removing or relocating landscaping materials, taking out rocks and boulders, and leveling the area. Next, we’ll begin the excavation process. This may take two or three days to completely excavate your pool. 

Installation and Construction

When we have the materials for your build, we’ll begin the pool construction process. We will start with steel installation to create the foundation for your pool. This process may take one or two days.

Plumbing and Electrical

When the foundation is complete, we will lay down pipes for your pool’s circulation system and drain system. We will also install plumbing for pool and deck jets and other water features. Then we will install any necessary electrical systems. This process may take up to a week.

Shotcrete Installation

Shotcrete is pressurized concrete that is sprayed over the steel foundation of your pool. This concrete is then carefully molded and smoothed into your pool design. This process may take three or four days to allow the concrete to dry and cure.

Tile, Decking, and Interior Finishing

The next step in your custom pool construction is installing tile and pool decking. This could take up to a week. When this is complete, we will begin the pool finishing process. We will use plaster to smooth the surface of your pool into its final design style. This may take around three days, after which we will add water to your pool.

Start-Up and Testing

Your pool is almost finished! During this stage of pool construction, we will add water to your pool, balance the chemicals, and start up all of the pool equipment. We’ll make sure everything is functioning safely and properly. This process may take a few days to a week.

Ongoing Pool Maintenance and Professional Pool Repairs

After everything is complete, we can provide ongoing pool service and repairs. We offer weekly, monthly, or as-needed maintenance, including pool cleaning and chemical services.
