TALK TO AN EXPERTHow it works
How your pool goes from idea to reality
After decades in business and thousands of pools built across Ontario, we've refined every step of the process. Here's exactly what to expect when you work with us.
01
Initial Consultation
We come to you. One of our experts visits your property and listens to what you're envisioning. No pressure or hard sell. Just an honest conversation about what's possible and what it would take to get there.
02
Design & Planning
We turn the conversation into a plan. You'll see detailed drawings of your pool, placement in your yard, and any features you're considering like lighting, waterfalls, and decking. We refine it until it looks exactly the way you imagined.
03
Permits & Approvals
Every pool in Ontario requires permits. We manage the entire process. Submitting applications, coordinating with your municipality, and handling any back-and-forth so you don't have to think about it. You'll hear from us when it's approved and ready to go.
04
The Build
Our crew arrives and gets to work. We keep your yard as protected as possible and communicate with you throughout. You'll be surprised how quickly your backyard starts to transform.
05
Orientation & First Swim
Before we hand over the keys, we walk you through everything including how your pool works, how to maintain it, and who to call if you ever need us. Then we get out of your way so you can enjoy what you've been waiting for.
The hardest part isn't the build, it's deciding to start. That first conversation costs you nothing.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we get asked most, answered honestly.
Most Ontario homeowners spend between $800 and $1,800 per year to run an onground pool, depending on size, heating, and how often it's used. That covers chemicals, electricity, and regular maintenance.
The full timeline from your initial consultation, including design, acquiring permits, and construction, typically runs 6 to 10 weeks.
A well-built onground pool is a long-term investment. The structure itself is built to last decades, and the vinyl liner will typically need replacing every 10 to 15 years, a straightforward process that also gives you the opportunity to refresh the look of your pool. With proper care and annual maintenance, your onground pool will be a part of your backyard for many years to come.
Closing your pool properly at the end of the season is one of the most important things you can do to protect it. The process involves balancing the water chemistry, blowing out the plumbing lines, lowering the water level, adding winterizing chemicals, and securing a cover. We offer full pool closing and opening services
