Every custom pool starts with vision and functionality. During the conceptualization stage, you define your goals—whether your pool will serve as a place for fitness, family fun, or peaceful retreat. You’ll also choose your preferred aesthetic style—modern, natural, or geometric—and select from luxurious features such as spas, waterfalls, tanning ledges, or integrated lighting.

The next step is the site survey and layout. Our design professionals evaluate your property’s natural elements—sun exposure, slope, soil composition, and utilities. These factors determine the ideal pool placement for optimal use and long-term stability.
Once the details are mapped, our experts use 3D design software to bring your vision to life. You can preview the pool’s layout, materials, and finishes before construction begins. Every design is reviewed by engineers to ensure full compliance with local building codes, zoning ordinances, and safety standards.
Key design considerations include:
Once the design is approved and permitted, construction begins with precise excavation and grading. Proper slope control ensures your pool integrates seamlessly with your landscape while maintaining efficient drainage.
A network of steel rebar reinforcement forms the skeleton of your pool, giving it superior tensile strength to resist soil movement and water pressure. All plumbing and electrical systems are carefully installed within this steel framework before the gunite or shotcrete is applied.
This high-density concrete shell becomes the watertight foundation of your pool, cured for maximum strength and longevity. Once cured, coping, tile, and decking are installed to complete the structural and aesthetic transformation.
Utah’s unique terrain and climate make structural excellence a necessity. Freeze-thaw cycles, variable soil conditions, and high UV exposure require advanced design considerations that our team addresses in every project:
These specialized approaches ensure your pool remains structurally sound, visually stunning, and easy to maintain through every season.
