Assisted Pool Installation - What’s Included
1. Planning & Initial Consultation
We begin with a site review and clear direction on how to prep your outdoor space.You’ll get step-by-step guidance, documentation, and a clear plan to keep the process moving forward without second-guessing.
2. Shell Placement
Once excavation is complete, our team arrives to assist with positioning the pool in your backyard space. It’s carefully lowered, adjusted, levelled, and locked into place. This isn’t just about lifting and dropping—it’s about getting the perfect pool placement.
3. Plumbing & Equipment Installation
Pumps, filters, returns, suctions, automation—it’s not the flashy part of your pool construction project, but it’s the part that makes everything work. We install the core systems and help you get the infrastructure dialled in. You’ll know what’s happening, why it matters, and how to keep it running smoothly.
4. Final Walkthrough
Water’s in. Equipment’s on. Now we test, adjust, and teach. We’ll go over your setup in detail and walk you through the basics of pool care—because a smooth first season starts with the right handoff.
Why Choose an Assisted Installation?
If you’re the kind of homeowner who wants to get involved—but still wants to get it right—this model is made for you. You handle the groundwork. We handle the critical details. Together, we build something great.
Cost Savings
Excavation, backfilling, basic site prep—these are jobs you or your crew can manage. Letting you take those on means you keep more budget for the things that count: better finishes, upgraded equipment, or that waterfall you’ve been eyeing.
