How long does it take to build a pool?
The construction timeline for our shotcrete pools typically spans 10 to 12 weeks following permit approval.

For more specific information regarding your project, we recommend contacting our swimming pool contractor at Top Tier Pools.How much time will I spend maintaining my swimming pool?

We invite you to contact our swimming pool contractor to arrange a service appointment.How do I know what type of pool would be suitable in my backyard?
Our swimming pool contractor at Top Tier Pools will assist you in designing a pool that perfectly complements your property and lifestyle. Our experienced team will provide a comprehensive package tailored to meet your specific backyard aspirations and requirements.What is the best time of year to build a new pool?
At Top Tier Pools, we construct swimming pools year-round. The optimal time for pool construction is when it aligns with your expectations and schedule. Off-season builds ensure your pool is ready for use as soon as summer arrives. Spring construction typically allows for enjoyment by late summer, given our standard 10 to 12-week installation period. We encourage you to contact our team to discuss your new pool project.Do I need to remove any trees before construction begins?
The necessity of tree removal depends on your pool's planned location. Trees within two feet of the pool layout may require removal. Our swimming pool contractor recommends maintaining at least a three-foot distance between trees and the pool or concrete. Additionally, nearby trees can increase pool maintenance due to falling leaves and debris. We invite you to schedule a consultation with Top Tier Pools for a detailed assessment.Is there enough access for excavation equipment?
Our standard equipment is suitable for 80% of the backyards we service. For more limited spaces, we utilize specialized smaller equipment. Access points less than five feet wide may necessitate alternative approaches, such as manual digging. If you have concerns about access limitations, we encourage you to consult with our swimming pool contractor.What is gunite?
Gunite is a mixture of sand, water, and cement. Unlike traditional poured concrete, gunite is applied in layers using a specialized spray gun. This application method results in a seamless surface, enhancing the pool's durability compared to traditional concrete pools with seams. For more information about gunite pools or to arrange a consultation, please contact our swimming pool contractor.
