In-Ground Pool Site Preparation


Proper site preparation is one of the most important steps in building a reliable in ground pool. We begin with a full evaluation of your property that includes soil conditions, slope, drainage patterns, and access for equipment. This allows us to identify anything that could affect the stability of your pool and make the right adjustments before the excavation starts. By planning ahead, we can avoid issues like shifting, settling, or uneven walls and create a layout that works with the natural grade of your yard.



Once the design and placement are confirmed, our team handles all grading, excavation, and base preparation in house. We shape the pool footprint, compact the ground, and establish a level, secure foundation for your steel wall panels and liner. This precise groundwork helps ensure your walls sit evenly, your plumbing is positioned correctly, and your pool remains stable over time. With careful preparation and every step managed by our crew, your project starts with a strong foundation built to support the rest of your installation.

FAQs for In-Ground Pool Installation

What kind of in-ground pools do you install?

We install steel walled vinyl liner in ground pools. This style offers strong structure, flexible design options, and easy liner replacement over time.

Can you install a saltwater system with my pool?

Absolutely. We can install a salt system as part of your in-ground pool build. Saltwater pools offer easier maintenance and gentler water, and we’ll ensure it’s properly integrated with your pump and filter system.

Do I need a safety cover for my in-ground pool?

While not required, a pool safety cover is highly recommended. It helps prevent accidental entry by children or pets, keeps out debris during the off-season, and extends the life of your pool by protecting the liner and equipment.

Is my yard suitable for an in-ground pool?

We offer on-site evaluations to assess soil, slope, drainage, and access. Most properties can support an in-ground pool with proper planning, and we’ll advise you on the best layout for your space.

How long do vinyl pool liners last, and can you replace them?

Vinyl liners typically last 8–12 years with proper care. We offer in-ground pool liner installation and replacement to keep your pool looking and functioning like new. If your liner is faded, wrinkled, leaking, or pulling away from the walls, it may be time for a replacement.
