What to Expect During the Pool Construction Process

Building a pool is an exciting investment in your home and lifestyle. Whether you’re envisioning a relaxing retreat or an entertainment hub, understanding the pool construction process helps set expectations and reduce stress. At Kingswood Outdoors, we guide you through every phase with clarity, precision, and top-tier service.

Step-by-Step: How Pool Construction Works

1. Initial Consultation

  • We begin with a conversation to understand your vision, budget, and backyard space.
  • You’ll discuss desired features like spas, lighting, tanning ledges, or waterfalls.

2. Custom Pool Design

  • Our team creates a 3D design based on your input, space, and functional needs.
  • You’ll review shape, size, materials, and any custom additions before final approval.

3. Permitting and Planning

  • We handle the permit process, local code compliance, and utility checks to ensure the project is safe and legal.

4. Excavation

  • Once approved, we break ground by excavating the area where your pool will be formed.
  • This phase may take 1–3 days, depending on site access and soil conditions.

5. Structural Framing

  • Steel rebar is installed to shape and reinforce the pool’s structure, providing strength and durability.

6. Plumbing and Electrical

  • We install essential lines for water circulation, drainage, lighting, and any automation or heating systems.

7. Gunite or Shotcrete Application

  • Concrete is sprayed to form the pool shell. After curing, it becomes the strong base of your pool.
  • Curing usually takes about a week before the next phase.

8. Tile, Coping & Decking

  • This is when your pool starts to look beautiful. We add tile around the waterline, edge coping, and the surrounding deck.

9. Interior Finish

  • We apply the final interior surface, such as plaster or pebble finish, which defines the look and feel of your pool.
  • Once filled with water, it begins to truly shine.

10. Equipment Setup & Start-Up

  • We connect and test your filtration system, pumps, lighting, and any other pool equipment.
  • Our technicians will walk you through how to manage your new pool systems.

Rain or extreme temperatures can affect timelines, especially during excavation and curing.

2. Ask Questions Early
Stay informed and involved by asking your Kingswood Outdoors rep anything you’re unsure about.

If you’re adding landscaping later, coordinate timelines for a seamless backyard reveal.
