Pool Building Process

At Burleson Pool Company, a well-built pool begins with a clear plan. Our pool building process guides you from that first spark of inspiration to the moment you take your first swim. With decades of experience in backyard design and custom pool building, we’ve refined a seamless approach to pool construction, one that prioritizes craftsmanship, communication, and service. 

Whether you’re envisioning a sleek lap pool or a stunning outdoor retreat, we’ll walk you through every step of the pool installation so you always know what’s coming next.

1. Consultation & Design

Every project starts with a conversation. You’ll meet with our experienced pool designers to talk through your ideas, goals, and budget. We may also undertake a site visit to review crucial aspects of your build, like terrain and elevation. At our in-house Design Center, you can explore finishes, tiles, lighting, and poolside furnishings that reflect your personal style. As luxury pool builders, we take your vision and develop a detailed pool design and installation plan that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

2. Pool Permits and Regulations

From zoning to safety codes, we handle all aspects of pool permits and regulations. Our team is well-versed in swimming pool regulations and works directly with local authorities to get your approvals moving quickly. That way, your project moves forward smoothly and always aligns with current pool regulations.

3. Swimming pool excavation

Next, it’s time to prepare your property for transformation. Our crews begin digging a pool with precision, shaping the space according to the backyard design plan. This includes removing soil, grading the land, and laying the groundwork for a strong, stable foundation – everything your future pool needs to stand the test of time.

4. Pool Plumbing & Electrical

This is where form meets function. We install top-quality pool plumbing using durable PVC pool materials and swimming pool pipes that support clean, consistent circulation. Meanwhile, our licensed electricians take care of your pool’s lighting and heating, whether that means LED systems or electric pool heaters for year-round comfort. All wiring for electrical pool heaters for inground pools is completed to the highest safety standards.

5. Swimming Pool Shell Installation

Your pool truly takes shape during this stage. Whether we’re working with concrete, vinyl, or a fiberglass pool shell, we approach each pool shell installation with care and precision. The shell is placed, leveled, and reinforced to match the exact specs of your design, setting the stage for the final layers of customization.

6. Pool Coping and Decking

With the shell in place, we shift focus to the finishes that make your pool stand out. From stone tiles and modern pavers to cascading water features, we craft stunning pool coping and decking that tie your entire outdoor space together. Every detail in your pool deck and coping is selected and installed to elevate both style and function.

7. Pool Filling & Testing

Once construction is complete, your pool is filled either through an automatic pool filler or pool-filling service, depending on your setup. Then, we get the water just right. Our technicians use advanced pool water testing methods and professional-grade pool testers to balance the chemistry and confirm that all systems are operating exactly as they should.
