Welcome to
Pools By Design
"the quality standards by which others are judged"

It all starts with Planning: Walls, floor pitch, and depth are designed for the optimum strength and maximum efficiency of operation. All design work meets the highest possible standards for swimming water circulation and safety.

Next, our layout and excavation sets the mode for the entire construction: careful attention is given to establish precise grade and excess dirt is hauled away.

Stakes and line paints make a visual picture and provides construction boundaries, assures proper drainage of splash out and rain water, and hand trimming and shaping yields flat and even walls.

Integrity of the plumbing system is insured: schedule '40' ridged plumbing is used inside walls and floor, hydraulics are engineered to eliminate dead and cold spots, and pipes will be sealed under pressure.

Bar steel is tied and bonded and additional steel is placed around skimmers, bond beam, and added appliances, and concrete chairs will keep the steel suspended in the concrete.

Gunite is pneumatically applied concrete that is pre-mixed for consistency: flash coat prevents impurities from entering concrete mix, air added at the nozzle yields maximum strength, and dense, tight material eliminates honeycomb, voids, and joints that leak.

Now the pay-off: we use the finest porcelain tile set with artistic talent. Our luxurious patio surface elegantly frames the pool: continuous cantilever construction, and the deck is independent of pool to eliminate any leverage, six inch decorative frost-proof tiles, set solid in waterproof cement, and guaranteed against blistering, cracking, or popping.
