The Aquatic Creations Pool Building Experience
From Backyard Dreams to Crystal Clear Reality
Building a pool is an exciting journey, and at Aquatic Creations of Ohio, we believe the process should be as enjoyable as the final result. We pride ourselves on transparency, communication, and expert craftsmanship at every stage. Our proven installation method ensures your project stays on track, on budget, and results in the backyard oasis you’ve always imagined.
Our Step-by-Step Installation Process
We know that installing an inground pool is a major construction project. It involves heavy machinery, detailed engineering, and precise timing. That’s why we don’t just build pools; we guide you through the entire experience. By understanding exactly what happens during each phase, you can feel confident and prepared as your backyard transforms.
We handle the heavy lifting, the permits, and the technical details so you can focus on planning your first pool party.
Step 1:
Consultation & Site Assessment
Your journey begins with a conversation. We visit your home to discuss your vision, budget, and lifestyle needs. We assess your yard’s topography, soil conditions, and access points to determine the best pool type (fiberglass, vinyl, or gunite) for your property.
Step 2:
Custom Design & Proposal
Our design team brings your ideas to life. We create a detailed plan that includes the pool shape, size, decking, and features like waterfalls or lighting. You will receive a comprehensive proposal outlining the project scope, timeline, and investment.
Step 3:
Permitting & Approvals
Before work begins, we handle all necessary paperwork and permits, taking care of local zoning laws and building codes.
Step 4:
Layout, Excavation & Structural Installation
We mark the pool’s precise location for your approval, then begin excavation. Depending on your chosen pool type:
-
Fiberglass: The one-piece shell is delivered and craned into place.
-
Vinyl Liner: Steel or polymer wall panels are erected and a concrete footing is poured.
-
Gunite: Rebar is installed and concrete is shot to form the shell.
Step 5:
Plumbing, Electrical & Backfill
Licensed technicians install plumbing, filtration, heaters, lighting, and backfill the space around the pool, preparing it for decking.
Step 6:
Decking, Hardscaping & Finishing Touches
We install your preferred patio material—pavers, stamped concrete, or stone—and complete finishing details such as tile and pool interior. Water is added and balanced for your first swim.
Step 7:
Pool School & Final Walkthrough
We provide a hands-on pool orientation, cover ongoing care, and complete a full site restoration to ensure everything meets your satisfaction before you enjoy your new pool.
Every project is unique, but our commitment to quality remains constant. Here is what you can expect when you build with Aquatic Creations.
