The New Pool Construction Process: What to Expect from Start to Finish
Building a pool in your backyard is an exciting investment that transforms your outdoor space into a personal oasis. However, the process of constructing a pool can seem daunting, especially if you're unsure of what to expect. At Oasis Pool Construction, we're a Mahwah pool installer that strives to make the journey smooth and enjoyable. Here’s a breakdown of the new pool construction process, so you can be prepared from start to finish.
1. Initial Consultation and Design
The first step in building your new pool is the initial consultation. During this meeting, one of our experienced pool designers will visit your property, assess the available space, and discuss your vision for the pool. Whether you're dreaming of a luxurious resort-style pool, a family-friendly pool, or something more unique, we’ll help bring your ideas to life.
We’ll also discuss your budget, desired features (like waterfalls, lighting, or a spa), and any special requirements. At this stage, our team will offer advice on the best pool designs and features for your property. Once we have a clear understanding of your preferences, we’ll move on to the design phase.
2. Pool Design and Approval
Once the design is finalized, our team will provide you with detailed plans, including dimensions, layout, and features. You’ll have the opportunity to review and request any modifications before moving forward. After the design is approved, we’ll apply for the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities. This may take a few weeks, depending on your location and the complexity of the project.
3. Excavation and Preparation
After receiving the green light from the permitting office, it’s time for excavation. Our team will mark the pool’s outline on your property and begin digging. This step can take several days, depending on the size of the pool and the soil conditions. Our crew will use heavy machinery to dig out the pool area, and we’ll ensure that any debris is cleared efficiently. We’ll also take extra care to protect your property and landscaping during this phase.
Once the excavation is complete, we’ll prepare the pool site by installing the plumbing, electrical systems, and any necessary drainage.
4. Pool Shell Installation
Next, the pool shell will be installed. If you’re choosing a concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl liner pool, each material has its own process. For concrete pools, this includes steel reinforcement and shotcrete application. For fiberglass pools, the shell is delivered and set into place. Vinyl liner pools are fitted with custom liners to ensure a snug, secure fit. Regardless of the material, the pool shell is a crucial step in shaping your pool.
5. Pool Finishing Touches
After the shell is installed, the next steps include adding the finishing touches that make your pool unique. This includes tiling, coping, decking, and adding any custom features such as waterfalls, lighting, or spas. At this stage, our team will ensure everything is meticulously placed and that all systems are functioning correctly.
6. Pool Equipment and Final Inspection
We’ll then install the necessary equipment, including pumps, filters, heaters, and pool cleaning systems. After all the components are set, we conduct a final inspection to ensure everything is up to code and ready for use.
7. Pool Filling and Handover
The final step is filling the pool with water. Afterward, we’ll go over how to operate and maintain your new pool, offering tips for cleaning and water care. Once you’re satisfied with the results, your oasis is ready to be enjoyed!
