How Much Does An Inground Pool Cost?
If you're thinking about buying a pool, but want more information on pricing, you've come to the right place. Here we will do our best to break down how much a pool costs. Remember, we have plenty of partnerships with financing companies to help you out!
It's A Lot Like Buying A Truck
When you go out to buy a truck you have a few different options. You can get a standard, single cab, 200 horsepower, 2-wheel drive for about $25K. But if you want a powerful truck that can really get the job done you will probably pay more like $55-$75K because you're adding on things like 4-wheel drive, leather seats, 450 horsepower, etc. It's the same thing with buying a pool.
Initial Factors
Pool vs. Pool & Spa
You can either build a pool only, or a pool and spa. A pool only is cheaper, but what's a pool without a hot tub?
Outdoor Living
Investing in outdoor kitchens, lighting, grills, patios, and more are all available to consider for your project
Budget
The better idea you have on your budget, the better we can help you make the most of your project
Pool Only: $65,000 +
If you are just looking to build a pool, the cost starts at $65,000. When we say, "just build a pool" we mean we will design, build, and install your inground pool.
Most customers get more than just the pool because they want a separate, smaller body of water to for relaxing.
Pool & Spa: $80,000 +
Our Pool and Spa package starts at $80,000. Adding a spa (or hot tub as some like to say) means you now have 2 separate bodies of water. One for swimming, and one for being super easy to heat up and relax in.
The other items you can add on, water features, outdoor living, and automation are listed out below.

Using the Screen Logic App, our customers can control their pool and spa directly from their iPhone, iPad, or even their Apple Watch! The app is also available on Android.

- View pH levels, temperature, and all other relevant stats
- Control pool lighting power and color

It's kind of like the difference between a truck with a regular stereo, or a nice bluetooth stereo. You spend a lot of time in the car, so you want it to be nice. Same thing with a pool.
Outdoor Living $7-$20K +
Whether you just want outdoor living, or you want to add it on with your pool construction, the price range is the same.
Unexpected Costs
There are a few things you may not realize that may affect the cost of building a pool
Size
We've designed and built pools of all shapes and sizes. The bigger ones cost more than the smaller ones.
Rock Charge
Every job has a set amount of time for the dig; if we hit rock, it can make the dig take longer and cost more
Excavation Access
If there isn't enough space for the proper machinery, construction can take longer than normal
Yard Elevation
Ideally your yard's ground would be perfectly level. If there is slope or rise, we have to make it level for the pool.
Utility Locations
The location of your utilities can affect pool costs by causing things like gas line, electric, or septic re-routes
Path/Deck Demolition
If you have concrete pathways, decks, or other landscape obstructions it can affect construction costs
