What to Expect During A Custom Pool Build
You can't beat the excitement of creating a luxury retreat in your backyard. Building a custom pool can transform your everyday lifestyle, whether you're dreaming of serene water features, an outdoor oasis, or an entertainment area.
From the beginning of the design process to the final touches, our team ensures clear communication, superior materials, and a client-oriented approach. Every detail counts, and we're here to make the whole process as seamless, enjoyable, and transformational as possible. Let’s dive into what you can expect with a custom pool build.
Step 1: Consultation & Design
Your custom pool journey begins with a one-on-one consultation to discuss your goals, preferences, and vision. Using 3D design technology, we can show you exactly what your pool will look like before construction begins. With our team's help, you'll choose the perfect layout, add features like spas and waterfalls, and review design options.
Step 2: Permitting & Planning
After your design is finalized, Varsity Pools helps the logistics. The process includes securing all permits, inspections, and approvals required by local Texas jurisdictions.
As part of this phase, we finalize the project timeline, source materials, and coordinate with trades to ensure your custom build goes smoothly. With Varsity Pools handling the details, you can relax knowing your pool is being built on a solid foundation of professional planning and regulatory compliance.
Step 3: Excavation & Construction
Once everything is approved, construction begins. As the excavation phase begins, the visible transformation begins. A heavy excavator will arrive on the site to dig the shape of your pool carefully. The process of creating your outdoor oasis may be noisy and messy, but it's all part of the process.
After excavation is complete, the pool shell is constructed. Pools are shaped using rebar and plumbing systems are installed using strong steel frameworks. Next, we apply gunite or shotcrete, high-durability materials that form the pool's structure. With longevity and wear resistance, these materials will provide years of peace of mind.
Step 4: Final Touches & Walkthrough
As construction wraps up, the beauty of your pool truly comes to life. Finishing details include tile work, decking, coping, and your selected interior finishes, all of which define the look and feel of your space.
After filling your pool and balancing the water chemistry, all pumps, filters, lights, and water features are checked to ensure they work properly. Finally, it's time for your final walkthrough, a last look to ensure every detail meets our high standards. Once complete, your pool is officially ready to enjoy!
Step 5: Ongoing Maintenance & Support
We at Varsity Pools don't end our commitment once your pool is ready to use. We offer ongoing maintenance services, repairs, and renovations to help protect your investment. From routine cleanings and water testing to equipment inspections and seasonal prep, our team ensures your pool stays in top shape all year round.
