What affects your pool cost.

Pool Size and Shape

Larger pools need more concrete, rebar, and finish material. Freeform shapes cost more than geometric.

Site Conditions

High water table, rock, tight access, or significant grade changes increase excavation costs.

Interior Finish

Pebble Sheen is our standard (lifetime warranty). PebbleTec has a coarser texture at a similar price point.

The line items that move your number.
