Our Process

Pool Construction Centered Around You

At Oasis Pools & Spas, we believe the pool building process should be efficient, collaborative, and completely centered around you. When it comes to your pool, you have a vision, and it’s our job to turn it into reality.

We start with clear communication—we ensure there are no surprises and always keep project information timely and up-to-date. From design and planning to construction, we’ll work closely together every step of the way.

Below are some key project steps and what to expect during them.

Our Pool Construction Process

STEP ONE

Layout

After design is finalized and you are satisfied and comfortable with the final look, we stake out the footprint of your new pool. This allows you to see how the pool will fit in your backyard. We don’t break ground until you see the location and position and are pleased with everything.

STEP TWO

Fencing and Excavation

A portion of your fencing will need to come down so that our workers can access your backyard during excavating. You will know the date a few days in advance so that all pets, lawn care equipment, furniture, etc., can be safely stored away. At this time, we will dig the depth and shape of your pool based on the exact details of the design specs.

Structure

Reinforced steel rebar gives your pool the structure it needs, while delivering strength and long-term durability. After building the frame, our shotecrete crew will come in and form the pool shell by hand! It’s very cool to watch!

STEP THREE

STEP FOUR

Plumbing and Equipment

Installing plumbing lines is a vital step, and during this time we will pressure test the lines — all while getting read-outs of the pressure to ensure the hydraulic system is working properly. Our plumbers will work to deliver the safest configuration possible with a high level of craftsmanship guaranteed.

STEP FIVE

Electrical

After the installation of the plumbing, it will be time to install the electrical equipment, including any lighting configurations you choose.

STEP SIX

Hardscape and Decking

At this stage, any hardscaping you called for in your design will be installed. The coping and decking of your choice is installed.

STEP SEVEN

Tile

Adding the beautiful waterline tile is one of the finishing touches that will make this your very own swimming pool. For the tile, you will have numerous options for sizes, styles, patterns, and colors. Six inches of waterline tile will be installed at the top of your swimming pool: three inches below the water, and three inches above the waterline.

STEP EIGHT

Interior Finishing

Once the plumbing tiles have been installed, the interior finish will be applied. This usually takes 1-2 days, depending on the type of interior finish. Plastering usually only takes one day, while some stone interior finishes may take two days. We will let you know the estimated time.

STEP NINE

Clean-Up and Start-Up

After construction is completed, we will clear the area to leave you with a clean backyard. Construction debris will be removed, ruts will be raked level and your yard will be made ready for your landscaper to come in and get your yard back to normal, your fence will be returned to its original appearance. Now the fun begins! We will fill your pool, start up the equipment, and balance your water chemistry so that the first swim can take place right then and ther
