Swimming Pool Builders

Swimming pool builders are the specialists you call upon for the actual building of the pool’s structure. Their work begins with the groundwork—digging the hole into the desired shape and installing the rebar that becomes the supporting foundation of the pool. The next steps require applying the gunite to the shell and plastering it.

For more than 20 years, Exterior Worlds has served as general contractor and project designer for swimming pool construction. Our expertise includes pools for existing homes, new home construction and pool remodeling. We provide the essential, and often money-saving, service of scheduling the various contractors, such as the swimming pool builder, the mason workers and electricians, so that the project is completed on time. This oversight also ensures that the work flow is logical to avoid having to tear out completed work and start over because one step was out of sequence.

An additional benefit of using our project design services is that we take your dreams and desires for your pool and integrate them into your overall garden design. For instance, you may want to situate the pool so that your summer kitchen opens onto it. Or perhaps your patio design has an outdoor fire place that creates a secondary focal point. We work hard to make sure that all the zones of your landscape design are in proper relationship with each other.

Before you get to the point of needing a swimming pool builder, we will help you go through the decisions of the pre-construction phase, which includes these considerations:

• Material choices. Pool decking, usually some kind of masonry or stone, surrounds the immediate area around a luxury swimming pool. For pool decking, the choice of materials varies depending on personal preferences, preferred budgets and design considerations. We recommend surfaces like stone, brick and concrete as beautiful and durable options because these non-slippery products are good for wet areas. We also encourage our clients to coordinate their selection with any existing materials, as in a mature landscape and on the exterior of their home.
• The extras. Landscape lighting creates additional pleasure—few elements in a landscape have quite the visual power created by the interplay of water, light and shadow. Thus, good landscape lighting allows you to enjoy the pool at night even when you’re not in it. It also makes the pool safer for nighttime swimming. Speaking of safety, we also discuss with our clients the option of a pool fence. An ornamental iron fence around the pool is often a sensible—and attractive—provision.
• Pool options. There are scores of add-ons you can put onto your pool to increase your overall enjoyment of it. For example, spas, caves, natural falls, a pool water fountain, slides, diving boards and vanishing edges. We help our clients think through how they intend to use the pool and what features would be practical, yet enhance their pleasure.
