Pool Construction Timeline: What Homeowners Should Expect
Building a custom pool is an exciting investment in your home and lifestyle. But understanding the pool construction timeline is key to avoiding surprises and staying confident throughout the process. At Kingswood Outdoors, we help homeowners in Dallas/Fort Worth turn outdoor dreams into luxurious realities—with transparency every step of the way.
Here’s what you can expect from the pool construction process.
Phase 1: Design & Planning (1–3 Weeks)
Every great pool begins with a vision. We start with an in-depth consultation where we learn about your style, lifestyle, and needs. From there, we develop a custom pool design that reflects your goals.
After the design is finalized, we handle all permits and approvals. While timelines may vary depending on local regulations, this planning phase sets the stage for everything to follow.
Phase 2: Excavation (1–2 Weeks)
Once permits are cleared, we begin excavation. This involves carefully marking the pool’s shape and digging the area to prepare for installation. Proper excavation ensures long-term structural integrity and is a crucial part of any pool construction project.
Phase 3: Plumbing & Framework (1–2 Weeks)
Next, we install plumbing and steel reinforcement. This stage includes laying the groundwork for your pool’s filtration system, drains, and returns—essential for functionality and performance. We also install rebar to shape and strengthen the pool structure.
Phase 4: Shotcrete or Gunite Application (1 Week)
Your pool’s shell is formed using shotcrete or gunite, applied to the steel framework. Once it’s cured (which typically takes about a week), it becomes the solid base for your future pool.
Phase 5: Tile, Coping & Decking (2–3 Weeks)
Now, your pool starts taking shape visually. We install tile and coping along the pool’s edges and begin building out the surrounding deck or outdoor living area. This is where your vision truly starts to shine.
Phase 6: Interior Finish & Start-Up (1 Week)
Finally, we apply the pool’s interior finish, fill it with water, and start up the equipment. Our team performs a complete inspection and makes any necessary adjustments to ensure your pool is ready for enjoyment.
Final Touches & Handover
Our last step is walking you through your new pool—demonstrating how to operate everything, maintain it, and enjoy it for years to come. We take pride in crafting luxury outdoor spaces that exceed expectations.
