Knowing how various processes around your property work can be quite helpful, whether for one-time projects or continuous needs. One great example within the former category is the construction and installation of any swimming pool in your property, which generally follows some typical steps.
At JAL Pools, we’re proud to offer the very best swimming pool builder services in all of Salt Lake City and surrounding parts of Utah, including pool construction and installation of any luxury or custom pool you’re considering. While the specifics here may vary somewhat depending on the nuanced components or materials involved in creating your pool, here are the basics of the pool construction process – from design all the way to completion.
Initial Design and Layout
Before any kind of actual construction begins, your pool builder will need to create a detailed design and layout plan for the pool. This is where you’ll discuss your preferences, needs and budget with our team at JAL Pools, ensuring that we can deliver the perfect pool for you. We take into account various elements such as the size of your property, any existing landscaping features, ground slope and elevation changes, sun exposure patterns and more.
From this initial design phase of custom or luxury swimming pools at JAL Pools in SLC come several important considerations – including safety aspects like fencing or barrier options to keep children safe when near the water. The level of detail in this phase depends on how complex your pool’s construction needs will be, such as whether you’re including a spa or other water features.
Excavation and Foundation
Once the layout plan is complete and all necessary permits have been obtained by JAL Pools, we’ll begin excavation of your pool site. This is where we bring in any heavy machinery required to dig out the hole that will eventually become your luxury swimming pool. Your builder should also take care not to destroy or damage your existing landscaping or property features during this phase, using great caution and precision with their equipment.
After digging out the area, our team at JAL Pools will then form a solid foundation using rebar and gunite -a strong concrete mix often used for its durability and waterproof properties (certain other similar materials may be used here also). This project stage may take a few weeks to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your pool design.
Plumbing and Electrical
With the foundation in place, it’s time for our team at JAL Pools to begin installing the necessary plumbing and electrical components for your swimming pool. This includes things like pumps, filters, heaters, water lines and electricity sources that will keep your pool running smoothly and safely throughout its lifetime. We’ll also ensure that all equipment meets industry standards and is properly installed for optimal efficiency.
For instance, we may ask you for your input on certain design-related decisions, such as where to place the pool’s mechanical equipment for optimal convenience and safety. This is also an ideal time to discuss any additional features you’d like to include in the pool, like waterfalls or fountains.
Tile and Decking
Once the structural components are in place and everything is up to code, your pool builder will move on to installing any decorative features you’ve chosen. This includes laying tiles around the edge of your pool as well as constructing a deck or patio area for outdoor lounging and relaxation. Our team at JAL Pools can offer a wide range of options for these visually appealing aspects of your pool.
For instance, if you’re looking for a more natural feel, we can use stone or other textured materials for your pool’s decking. Or, if you prefer a sleek and modern look, we can install smooth tiles in various colors and patterns.
Interior Finishes
Another key feature in any pool design is the interior finish, which is what you’ll be directly swimming and lounging on. This can range from traditional white plaster to a more exotic pebble or quartz finish, and everything in between. The options are practically endless, and our team at JAL Pools can help you choose the perfect one for your needs.
Starting Up the Pool
Once all construction and installation is complete, your pool builder will fill the pool with water and begin testing all equipment to ensure everything is working properly. We’ll also add any necessary chemicals to balance out pH levels and make sure the water stays clean and safe for swimming.
At this point, you can start enjoying your brand new luxury or custom pool!
