New custom pools, spools, baja shelves, swim-up bars, beach entries, slides, waterfalls and fire features sit alongside remodels, hardscape, turf and shade structures.
Helping homeowners decide between a remodel and a full rebuild, rather than pushing a tear-out, is the stated approach at this Valley pool and landscape company. It builds new pools, resurfaces and remodels existing ones, and designs backyards with decking or pavers, spas, LED lighting with mobile automation, outdoor kitchens, fire and water features, and Baja steps.

This directory does not publish price tables. Pool pricing in Arizona changes with material costs, labor demand and each yard, so any single number would be out of date quickly. What the editor can say is what moves the price. The shell type (gunite, fiberglass or vinyl) sets the base. Size and depth add excavation, steel and plaster. Interior finish, tile, decking, equipment and water features each add a line. Site access, soil, caliche and utility relocation can add more. The clearest way to learn current pricing is to collect three written bids for the same design. The Arizona Registrar of Contractors recommends the same as of October 2026.
Build time depends on the shell type, the city's permit queue and the builder's schedule. A fiberglass pool can be set in days once the shell arrives, but the factory order and delivery add weeks. A gunite pool moves through excavation, steel, plumbing, shotcrete, tile, decking, plaster and start-up, each by a different crew. Weeks of curing and inspection gaps sit between those steps. Permits add time before any digging starts. Phoenix reports an average review of about 5 days for a standard pool plan as of October 2026, with longer reviews for custom or hillside designs. Homeowners should ask each builder for a written schedule with milestones rather than a single finish date.
These are all small-pool terms. A "spool" is a spa-sized pool, usually with jets and a heater, built for cooling off and soaking rather than swimming. A "cowboy pool" is a galvanized stock tank set up as an above-ground pool, often with a small pump and filter. A "splash pool" or plunge pool is a small, shallow inground pool. In Arizona all three fall under the state barrier law when the water is at least 18 inches deep and the pool is wider than 8 feet. Inground versions need a building permit in the cities the editor checked. A pre-manufactured spa falls under the ROC's B-10 classification, and a built-in spool under B-5, as of October 2026.
Arizona pools are drained when total dissolved solids or calcium climb too high for chemistry to manage, which happens because evaporation leaves minerals behind. There is no fixed schedule. A service company or test kit shows when it is time. Where the water can go is a city rule. Phoenix prohibits draining into the street or onto neighboring yards and directs water to the sanitary sewer cleanout, or to landscaping with salt-tolerant plants. Gilbert allows the owner's yard, the sewer cleanout or the curb and gutter. HOA rules may add limits. Letting water run onto a neighbor's lot is prohibited in Phoenix and is a civil problem anywhere. Check the city water page before draining, as of October 2026.
Heating is a choice, not a requirement. In the Phoenix and Tucson lowlands an unheated pool is comfortable from roughly late spring to early fall. A gas heater or heat pump extends the season into the cooler months, and a spa almost always needs one. Pools in Flagstaff, Prescott and other high-elevation areas see real winters and need freeze protection. Low-desert pools are not winterized the way northern pools are. Owners keep the pump running on a shorter schedule, keep chemistry balanced and use freeze-protection settings on the equipment during the few nights that drop below freezing. A builder in the region can advise on the right equipment for the elevation.
A saltwater pool is still a chlorine pool. A salt cell generates chlorine from dissolved salt instead of the owner adding it. Owners like the softer feel and steadier sanitizer level. The trade-offs in Arizona are specific. Salt cells work harder in hot water and need regular cleaning for calcium scale, which forms fast in hard desert water. Salt can attack some natural stone coping and nearby metal, so material choices matter at design time. Draining a salt pool to landscaping needs salt-tolerant plants. A conventional chlorine pool costs less upfront and is simpler to repair. Both systems depend on balanced pH and stabilizer in intense sun. Dosing questions belong with a pool service professional.
The shell and the finish have different lives. A well-built gunite or shotcrete shell can last for many decades, and old Arizona pools from the 1960s and 1970s are still in service after remodels. The interior finish is a wear item and is replaced several times over the shell's life. Fiberglass shells are also long-lived, with the gelcoat surface being the part that ages. Equipment such as pumps, filters, heaters and salt cells is replaced on a shorter cycle. This directory does not publish year counts because they vary with chemistry, soil and workmanship. The best predictors are a licensed builder, proper steel and shell thickness, and consistent water balance.
That is a personal decision this directory cannot make. The case for a pool here is simple: a long hot season and a yard that gets used. The costs are ongoing. Water to replace evaporation, electricity for the pump, chemicals that burn off faster in sun, periodic resurfacing and equipment replacement. There are also responsibilities. State and city barrier laws apply, and drowning risk for small children is the reason those laws exist. Insurance may rise. Summer water can get too warm to refresh without cooling. Homeowners who swim often and keep up maintenance tend to be happy. Those who want the look without the use often find it a chore.
