Why hire a designer?
- 1
Quality and foundation
Your design is the foundation of your project, and everything depends on it. When you're investing thousands in your yard, every detail matters.
- 2
Save time
Waiting on a pool company for a design and revisions can take months. Bring a finished design and a builder can bid it quickly and start sooner.
- 3
Designed for you
Why you're building a pool shapes the design. A pool for kids and play is very different from one for luxury and relaxation. We design around your yard, your style, and your goals.
Permit ready plans take your design to the next level
The Custom Design Package includes a complete set of pool plans.
Permit ready means construction plans guaranteed for permit approval. We draft your plans to the best industry standards and work with locally licensed engineers to get any needed engineering. All our plans are guaranteed through any HOA and building department.
Building it yourself? You'll need proper plans for permits and construction. We handle the details and specs so you can get approved and have your project bid by subcontractors.
Working with a pool company? Many charge around $3,000 for plans inside their contract. Bring your own permit ready plans and have that line item removed, and save months up front.

Frequently asked questions
- How much will my pool cost?
- Your investment depends on materials, size, depth, landscaping, your backyard, and features, so it's hard to give one number. What we can tell you is what you save: most clients who build with us keep $20,000 or more compared with hiring a pool builder, and they don't have to put up with cookie-cutter pools or overbooked builders.
- How much of my time will it take?
- About 8 hours of your time over roughly 8 weeks of construction. Our design process is built to get you exactly what you want, and you review a 3D virtual pool before any ground is broken, which heads off problems before they cost you.
Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
