We help families build quality swimming pools for less
How Does It Work?
Pool companies don’t actually build pools!
They hire and schedule subcontractors to build your pool at a premium price tag.
Here is the secret → You can get your pool built wholesale by side-stepping the pool company and hiring subs directly.
Here is how → Our Homeowner Builder Program gives you all the resources, support, and guidance you need to cut out the middle man and save thousands on your dream yard.

ABOUT
FAMILY!
Your pool is an investment in your family and quality of life!
We believe a pool will bring your family together, creating lasting memories and healthy relationships.
Our family has been building pools for over 40 years!
We created DIY Pools and Spas to give families a better and more affordable alternative to hiring a pool company.
Hiring a pool company isn’t the only way
With our expert guidance, step-by-step program, and resources you will be able to affordably build your dream pool without any headaches or construction experience.
After 40+ years in the traditional pool building business, our family decided to change the way pools are built.
We created the first ever pool company to help homeowners build their own pool – Saving them thousands of dollars. We started DIY Pools and Spas to give families a better and more affordable alternative to hiring a pool company.
We are confident that as a DIY pool builder, you will get more for your money, build faster, and have the pool of your dreams.
“This program made our dream come true! We were able to save a significant amount of money on our project which allowed us to make upgrades we didn’t think we could afford. We were able to complete our backyard transformation in 3 short months.”
– Ryan Peterson
“This is real! 5 stars. I received multiple estimates for my pool. Each one was over $70,000. In total, I spent $43,000. That is $27,000 in savings!”
– M.Hisaw
“The team at DIY Pools and Spas have been great and very responsive when I had questions. We are currently moving into our last phase of the construction, with just the plaster remaining and we have spent just over $50K. I fully expect to come in close to $20K below what was our lowest bid.”
– Brian Smith
“I used DIY Pools and Spas to design my pool and engineering plans for me. My backyard oasis came out amazing and I saved $75,000 doing Owner Build over what local Pool Builders were quoting me.”
– Cara Agundez

DIY Pool Made Easy
It’s summertime and the perfect time to swim at the pool. Whether you want some exercise, wish to bond with your children, or want to get some sun, a swimming pool is perfect for this.
However, a public swimming pool can be pricey, have hours that are inconvenient to your schedule, and, most importantly, it just doesn’t cultivate the kind of atmosphere that brings the entire family together and makes lasting memories. Similarly, the above-ground swimming pool that you found for a few hundred dollars, isn’t doing the trick.
This is why you need to turn to the DIY backyard swimming pool.
Anybody can handle a DIY, above-ground pool, but have you considered something more luxurious? More attuned to your tastes? Having your own backyard pool that’s not an inflatable feels out of the budget, a lot of times.
Thankfully, we’re here. Because of our services, you can save over $20,000 with our DIY pool program and have your own pool tailored to fit the needs of you and your family.
What is a DIY Pool and DIY Pool Design?
Our program is designed to help you be your own project manager. By handling the project yourself (with our unlimited consulting and resources), you save thousands. The pool market is saturated with companies wanting to make a nice profit off of your inexperience.
Here’s the thing, you don’t have to have any experience in construction, pools, or anything else to DIY your pool. You don’t even have to have seen a pool pump in your lifetime! We make it easy and time efficient to achieve your dream pool.
Without our program, you can either overpay for a pool, or settle on a rustic shipping container pool, or stock tank pool. Our goal is to close the gap in pool costs and help our customers get a pool that truly adds value and quality of life to their family.
Part of the appeal of DIY’ing your pool is creating a backyard pool that is personal, yet affordable.

What Type of Pool Should I Get?
Salt Swimming Pool
Despite what you might expect, these pools do not have saltwater like the ocean. Saltwater pools actually have about a tenth of the salt in them as the ocean does, relatively speaking.
There are many reasons for this. Salt water is much easier on your eyes, hair, and skin than chlorine. It’s also easier to maintain, costing you only a bag of salt per year.
Salt water pools mitigate many pool issues because of the gentle water and avoidance of harsh chemicals. Your pools surface materials, your equipment, and your families well-being will thank you!
Cocktail Swimming Pool
Many people compare cocktail pools to above-ground pools. That’s because cocktail pools are usually only 3-4 feet deep and are sometimes raised slightly out of the ground, giving it the impression of an above-ground pool.
Cocktail pools are great for small backyards and they’re also easier to maintain because they’re smaller.
Cocktail pools are the most affordable option, and the best part is they can be a pool by day and a spa by night. Due to their size they can be easily heated like a jacuzzi in the evening. While day time allows for a nice place to cool off, relax, and like the name suggests enjoy a cocktail.
Rock-Scape Pools
If you want to really feel like your at a resort, rock-scape pools provide a luxurious and fun atmosphere.
Also called “Cabo” style rock-scape pools are popular for their swim behind grotto waterfalls, rock waterslides, swim up bars, big tanning shelfs, and rock design throughout the pool.
Usually these pools can push into the $100k+ realm very quickly with most price tags being closer to $150k! BUT when you DIY your rock-scape pool you will be saving a ton of money. Typically on rock-scape pools we see our clients save a minimum of $30k-40k.
Modern Elegant Pools
A very popular style right now is the modern “straight-line” pools that feature things like: vanishing edges, raised walls with cascades, fire bowls, tanning shelfs, rim flow spa’s, and a classy design that is timeless.
Paired beautifully with turf separated pavers around the pool, neutral colors, glass tiles, and creative design esthetics.
If you like straight line, modern styles we can design the perfect pool to meet your vision and the shape of your yard. We will make sure your pool reflects your lifestyle, and your families needs.
How Can DIY Pools and Spas Help Me Build My Dream Backyard Pool?
We design your pool around your budget and provide you with all the resources you need to build your swimming pool at a wholesale cost. We connect you with licensed subcontractors and walk you step by step through construction with video guides, checklists and personal consulting. Our construction plans are guaranteed through permits, and we even give you direct access to your pool equipment at wholesale cost. Unlike when you work with big pool companies, our program allows you to set the tone. Because of our “Love it or Leave it” guarantee, you can rest assured that we are committed to fulfilling your dream with budget-friendly ideas.
This guarantee means that after you pay for the program, we will work with you on the design. If you cannot get what you’re looking for or the cost is so far outside of what you expected, we issue you a refund and you walk away guilt-free.
How Long Does the Process of Building a DIY Pool Take?
How long the project goes on depends partially on the kind of pool you’re wanting and the complexity of the project. Typically, our clients have their dream pool installed and ready to swim in within 6-10 weeks.
We’ve figured it up, and you will almost never have to devote more than an hour a week to this project!
Isn't A Pool Too Astronomically Expensive To Consider?
Most of our customers come in with a budget, believing that they can’t afford a pool with the money they have. Many times, they may have been previously burned by untrustworthy builders who gave them excuse after excuse and sabotaged their clients’ vision to save money and time.
Our process has convinced even the most jaded customers that it is possible to create the pool of their dreams with the money they have.
Doing a DIY pool puts you in the driver’s seat when it comes to cost. A starting budget of $30-35k can get you into a nice cocktail pool. Standard pool-only projects typically start at 40k. Most of our DIY clients spend between $40k-70k depending on the scope of work and material selections. No matter what your vision you can rest assured that as a DIY pool builder you will get the best cost possible. That means no more overpriced bids, no fear of potential contract addendums during construction, and the best part is you don’t have to settle for something less than your dream pool!

We provide you with your design, construction plans, and engineering. We give you access to your pool equipment at contractor rates, and all the trades needed so that you can build your pool wholesale. This effectively allow you to cut out the middleman and allows you to build at your own pace and with a lot of money saved.
We take your visio,, and work with you until your dream and your budget are in line with one another instead of trying to upsell you on things you don’t need. Once that step is done, we help you along the process of getting that dream to come true.
