1. Our experienced excavators review pool layout with the homeowner before digging to ensure proper pool placement and elevation.
2. Excavation begins utilizing tracked equipment capable of handling all types of soils.
3. The hopper, or deep end of the pool, is dug using a back hoe. Constant laser transit checks assure proper pool depth.
4. The 14-gauge galvanized sidewall is hand-placed and bolted together.
5. Our patented deck braces, A-frame supports, and pool plumbing are constructed. Note the size and number of supports. Again, a laser transit is used to assure proper pool levels.
6. A continuous 2,500 PSI concrete collar is poured around the entire pool's perimeter to protect the underground plumbing and prevent the pool from ever shifting.
7. The pool floor, consisting of 2-3" of Portland cement and vermiculite, is hand-troweled for a smooth, hard, finished bottom.
8. The extra-thick 30mil designer liner, built by Crystal Pools at our liner manufacturing facility, is carefully installed.
9. Prior to water, industrial vacuums draw the liner tight for a wrinkle-free fit.
10. Backfilling and grading around the pool area is performed using highly maneuverable equipment and skilled operators.
11. The area around the pool is roughly graded.

12. The concrete apron is formed using steel reinforcement rods for added deck strength. A 3/4" slope is maintained for proper water run-off.
13. The three-foot-wide cement walkway is hand-wheeled and troweled on top of the patented deck support system.
 
14. The completed anti-skid walkway with strategically placed white expansion joins complements the white steps and coping.
15. The entire pool was completely constructed by Crystal Pools' friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable staff.
