Because every backyard and every vision is different, we do not use a one size fits all “standard package.” Instead, we design a custom pool around your space, style, and how you plan to use it.

Most projects typically include:

• Custom pool design and engineering (as required)
• Excavation and structural build
• Premium plumbing and electrical setup
• High quality equipment options (often Pentair or comparable)
• Interior finish options (including Diamond Brite or Hydrazzo style finishes)
• Waterline tile and coping selections (brands such as Dal Tile are common)
• Start up, water balancing guidance, and a walkthrough on how to use your system

Final inclusions depend on your design, access, soil conditions, features (spa, tanning ledge, automation, heater), and your finish selections.

Most residential pools land in the range of 12×24 to 16×36 feet, but “average” can be misleading because the right size depends on:

• Backyard layout and setbacks
• How you plan to use the pool (exercise, kids, entertaining)
• Depth preferences (play pool vs diving depth)
• Desired features (spa, ledge, water features)

If you want a helpful starting point: a 15×30 pool is a popular balance between swim space, entertaining room, and overall yard flow.

Build time varies based on design complexity, permitting, weather, and site access. Many custom pool builds commonly take 8 to 14 weeks once construction begins, with more complex projects taking longer.

Typical factors that can affect the timeline:

• Permitting and inspections
• Custom features (spas, water features, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens)
• Material lead times (tile, coping, specialty finishes)
• Weather delays
• Access constraints (tight yards, steep grades, limited equipment access)

We set expectations early and keep you updated throughout the build.

Pool covers are usually chosen based on safety, cleanliness, convenience, and aesthetics. Common options include:

• Automatic safety covers: Great for safety and heat retention, very clean look, easy to use
• Manual safety covers: Strong safety option with a lower price point than automatic
• Solar covers: Help reduce heat loss and evaporation, but require manual handling and storage
• Winter covers: Designed for off-season protection and debris control

If safety is your top priority, a properly rated safety cover is typically the best fit.

Most pools benefit from light, consistent upkeep rather than occasional deep cleans.

A common routine looks like:

• Skim surface debris: 2 to 3 times per week (or more during wind and storms)
• Brush walls and steps: 1 time per week
• Vacuum or run a cleaner: 1 time per week (frequency depends on debris and usage)
• Check water chemistry: 2 to 3 times per week in peak season

If your pool has heavy tree coverage or high use, you will likely clean more often.

Filter cleaning depends on the type of filter and how much debris your pool gets. A simple rule is to clean when the filter pressure rises about 8 to 10 psi above your clean starting pressure.

General guidelines:

• Cartridge filters: clean every 1 to 3 months during the season (more often with heavy debris)
• DE filters: backwash as needed, then do a full clean periodically
• Sand filters: backwash as pressure rises, with deeper cleaning as needed

We will show you how to monitor pressure so you are not guessing.

We can support you with guidance on maintenance expectations and connect you with service options depending on your needs and location. Many homeowners choose either:

• Weekly maintenance service for hands off care
• Seasonal support (opening, closing, equipment checks)
• On call help for troubleshooting or water quality issues

If you want, we can recommend a maintenance approach based on your equipment, usage, and how involved you want to be.
