Frequently Asked Questions

The honest answer is that every custom pool is different — and that is the point. A straightforward residential pool with standard decking may start around $65,000, while a comprehensive outdoor living environment with a custom spa, covered patio, outdoor kitchen, and water features represents a significantly larger investment. The design, your property's conditions, and the features you choose all shape the final number.

Rather than publishing a price list that cannot account for your unique situation, we begin every project with a free design consultation. Your dedicated designer visits your property, listens to your vision, and develops a proposal that reflects both what you want and what your investment allows. There are no surprises — you see the full scope and cost before any commitment.

Many of our clients take advantage of financing options through our lending partners, including fixed-rate loans, personal loans, and home equity lines of credit. Your designer can walk you through these options during your consultation.

Our owners work directly on every project. With decades of combined experience, we bring hands-on craftsmanship to every build.

The design consultation is where your project comes to life. Your dedicated designer visits your property, learns how your family lives and entertains, and assesses the site — topography, sight lines, existing structures, and natural features that should inform the design rather than be ignored.

From that conversation, we build detailed 3D renderings using your actual home and property as the backdrop. You see exactly what your outdoor living space will look like before a single shovel hits the ground. During the design presentation, you can request changes in real time — our designers work live so you can see adjustments immediately and collaborate until the design feels right.

This is not a templated process. Every design is original because every property, family, and vision is different. That is what Always Custom, Always Design means — your outdoor living space is tailored to your desires and your natural terrain, not pulled from a catalog.

Yes, we manage the entire permitting process from application to final inspection sign-off.

We understand that a custom outdoor living space is a significant investment, and we want to make the process as accessible as possible. We partner with lending institutions that offer a range of financing options, including fixed-rate loans, personal loans, and home equity lines of credit.

Your designer can discuss financing during your consultation so you have a clear picture of both the project scope and the payment structure before making any decisions. Many of our clients find that financing allows them to build the complete vision rather than compromising on features they wish they had included later.

Absolutely. We provide photorealistic VR renderings so you can experience your outdoor living space before a single shovel hits the ground.

The best time to start planning is earlier than most people think. Our busiest month for new inquiries is May, when lead volume surges to three to four times our normal pace. By then, our design calendar and construction schedule are filling fast, and timelines naturally extend.

Clients who begin their design consultation in January, February, or March have the widest selection of build windows and the best chance of completing their project before summer. Starting early also gives you more time in the design phase to refine your vision without feeling rushed.

That said, we welcome consultations year-round. Even if you are thinking about a project for next year, an early conversation helps us understand your goals and reserve time on our schedule.

Typically 8-12 weeks from groundbreaking to completion. Timeline varies based on design complexity, site conditions, and permitting.
