Custom Pools in Mesa

Custom Pool Builder in Mesa, AZ

Inground pools designed around your yard and your household, then built from layout to first fill.

Custom Pool Design in Mesa

As a custom pool builder in Mesa, we don't start from a catalog shape. We start with the lot: its size, the slope toward the back wall, where the afternoon sun lands and how you'll get from the patio door to the water.

Then we set the details that make a pool yours. That means the depth profile, the steps and benches, a sun shelf if you want one, the interior color and how the pool looks lit at night.

A new inground pool in Mesa can't start without a City construction permit. The City's pool checklist asks for a Contractor Licensure Verification Form, a site plan with full dimensions, engineer-sealed structural drawings, and electrical, plumbing and mechanical plans. We prepare that package and file it through the City's online permit system.

How Your Custom Pool Comes Together

  1. Walk the yard. We measure, check access and talk through how you want to use the pool.
  2. Design and price. You get a drawn design and a proposal with each part of the build on its own line.
  3. Permit and HOA. We file with the City of Mesa and give you drawings for any HOA review.
  4. Build. Dig, steel, gunite, plumbing and electrical, then tile, coping, deck and interior finish.
  5. Fill and start up. We fill the pool, balance the new water and show you how the equipment works.

Custom Pool Building Questions

What makes a pool custom instead of standard?

A standard pool picks a shape off a list. A custom pool is drawn for your lot, with the depth, steps, shelf, finish and features chosen for how your household swims.

Can you build a pool in a small Mesa backyard?

Usually, yes. Compact pools with a bench and a short sun shelf fit many newer southeast Mesa lots. Setbacks, the barrier and the equipment pad decide the final size.

Which interior finish holds up best in the Arizona sun?

Pebble finishes generally last longest and hide wear well. Quartz is smoother underfoot. Plaster costs least up front. We show you samples in daylight before you choose.

Do I need a heater?

Not to swim in summer. A heater or heat pump extends the season into spring and fall, and it's needed if you add a spa.
