Our Process
Building a custom pool in San Antonio involves more than digging a hole and filling it with water. Here’s how Pool Concepts approaches every project:
- Design consultation — We meet at your property, assess your backyard, and develop a custom design that fits your space, your budget, and how your family lives outdoors.
- Permitting — Pool Concepts handles all City of San Antonio and Bexar County permit submissions on your behalf. Permit approval typically adds 2 to 4 weeks to the project timeline.
- Excavation — Our crews are experienced with San Antonio’s limestone and caliche soil conditions, which require specialized equipment and techniques not needed in other Texas markets.
- Steel, plumbing & electrical — Structural steel framework, plumbing lines, and electrical systems are installed and inspected before any concrete is poured.
- Shell construction — The pool shell is formed and poured using quality concrete, engineered to handle San Antonio’s expansive soil conditions and temperature extremes.
- Tile, coping & decking — Waterline tile, coping, and decking materials are selected to withstand Texas UV exposure and stay comfortable underfoot in summer heat.
- Equipment installation — Pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems are installed and tested before water goes in.
- Interior finish & fill — Your chosen plaster or pebble finish is applied, the pool is filled, and water chemistry is balanced for San Antonio’s hard water conditions.
- Final walkthrough — Pete personally walks you through your new pool, equipment operation, and maintenance requirements before we consider the job complete.
