How much does a new in-ground pool cost?
At Pools and Spas by Design, pools start around $68,000, but we also build luxury, high-end pools that can stretch into the hundreds of thousands. Remember, this is an all-in price for a well-built, custom-designed pool – and includes everything you need. We won’t nickel and dime you.
The Pool Construction Process
Building an in-ground pool the right way is a complicated process. We want you to have a good understanding of what that entails up-front – so there aren’t any surprises later. From the beginning of excavation to a pool full of water is an approximately 10–14-week process. Here is a basic overview of the stages of pool construction you can expect:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in your pool design and build services?
When we say we offer turnkey pools, we mean it. We do it all, from custom 3D designs, site planning and permitting to excavation, pool construction, plumbing, lighting, decking and final equipment installation.
How long does it take to design and build a pool?
The timeline varies based on the complexity of the design, permitting process and weather conditions, but most projects take between 10-14 weeks from starting excavation to water in the pool.
What factors influence the cost of building a pool?
Factors include pool size, materials, custom features, excavation requirements, site conditions and additional landscaping or decking.
Do you handle permits and zoning requirements for pool construction?
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and ensure compliance with local zoning regulations to streamline the building process.
What are the benefits of a custom-designed pool?
Custom pools allow you to personalize shape, size, features and finishes to match your lifestyle, complement your home, increase property value and optimize your space.
What pool materials do you offer for construction?
We believe gunite (a.k.a. Shotcrete) is the best, high-quality, long-lasting solution for Oklahoma pools, so we only build and repair gunite pools.
Can I add a diving board or slide?
Yes, we are willing and able to add anything your heart desires, but you should check with your homeowner’s insurance. Sometimes they have restrictions or prohibitively expensive premiums for additions like diving boards and waterslides.
Can I add features like waterfalls, lighting and heating to my pool design?
Yes! We specialize in integrating water features, fire features, LED lighting, smart automation, heating systems and unique custom elements.
How do you ensure the quality and durability of a pool build?
We use high-quality materials, precision construction techniques and adhere to strict engineering and safety standards to ensure long-lasting results.
Do you offer pool financing options?
Yes, we partner with HFS to provide flexible home improvement loans with no stage funding, no equity needed and low fixed rates. You can apply here.
