<h2>Swimming Pool Construction Phases</h2>
1.<strong>Layout</strong>. We paint an outline of your pool on the ground before any work begins. This gives you an opportunity to approve the shape and position before we excavate. Excavators use the layout as a guide when they dig.

2.<strong>Excavation</strong>. Our excavation specifications include vertically excavated walls and flat floors, which create a safer, more enjoyable and spacious swimming pool than the industry norm.

3.<strong>Plumbing and Equipment</strong>. Our plumbers follow a detailed plan for the location of every feature, pool return and drain. All plumbing in our swimming pools are at least schedule 40 piping and the hydraulics are calculated specifically for the details of your project. You will notice that pipes are protruding out from the pool dig. These will be cut off near the end of construction and will finish flush to the final pool wall.

4.<strong>Steel Rebar</strong>. Steel rebar provides the structural skeleton in all concrete swimming pools and is installed in a grid pattern to reinforce the strength of the shell. The vast majority of Arizona pool companies use standardized steel specifications driven with only the cost in mind. Our steel specifications are developed and engineered for your pool, in your particular soil, with the unique load and stress of your pool design.

5.<strong>Electrical</strong>. Features include LED color pool lights with remote-control abilities. A timer and control panel will be placed with the equipment for daily pool system control. Optional water feature and spa control systems are also available.

6.<strong>Shotcrete (premixed concrete)</strong>. In this phase, steps and benches are formed, spas take shape, and the pool begins to look like a pool. The shell which is under lifetime warranty is a minimum thickness of six inches thick, and in coves and all stress areas, it’s a minimum of eight inches thick.

7.<strong>Masonry and Rock</strong>. Step back and watch our rock installers and masons add beauty to your pool. You’ll see they are really closer to artists than construction workers. During this phase, we install boulders, waterfalls and anything that must be done prior to the deck, such as masonry barbecues, fire pits, pillars and equipment walls.

8.<strong>Decking</strong>. Kool decks, stone decks, acrylic decks, colored concrete and pavers — we do it all. A deck must be built for durability, heat resistance and beauty. Construction issues, budget and artistry should all be taken into consideration when choosing the surface around your pool.

9.<strong>Tile</strong>. The waterline tile around the edge of your pool is not only decorative, but also structural. It provides a durable transition from below to above the waterline. Most interior surface choices are not meant to be installed above the waterline.

10.<strong>Interior Surfaces</strong>. Tile surfaces, pebble surfaces, stone surfaces, plaster and an array of colors and textures allow a pool to be customized. Our project manager will discuss the features, benefits and costs of each. Whatever your choice, we promise quality workmanship.

11.<strong>Start-Up and Orientation</strong>. After the pool is full of water, we will send one of our experts technicians out to install the final touches such as in-floor cleaning heads, aerators, water feature finishes and trim. They will also start up the pumps and make sure all the equipment is working properly and explain in detail how to operate and maintain all aspect of your new swimming pool.
