Luxury Pool Designs - Pinnacle Pools and Landscape

Pool Construction Services

Building a pool is a significant investment, and it’s natural to have questions about the process, materials, and available features. To help you make informed decisions with confidence, here are some of the most common questions about our pool construction services:

Plaster is a smooth, classic pool finish that’s more budget-friendly but may require more frequent resurfacing. Pebble interiors are more durable, offer better traction, and come in a variety of colors and textures, giving a more natural, high-end appearance. They also last longer than traditional plaster.

Yes, cantilever is a specialized concrete form that creates a smooth, overhanging edge around the pool. It provides a clean, finished look and enhances safety and comfort by eliminating sharp coping edges.

Grading is not included in the scope of work for our pool projects. We recommend hiring a professional landscaper to complete any necessary grading or yard leveling after the pool is installed.

We require at least 7 feet of clear access, which is included in our base price. Limited access may require additional planning or fees.

Salt systems generate chlorine naturally, providing softer, gentler water that’s easier on skin, eyes, and swimsuits. They also reduce the need to manually handle chlorine and help maintain a more consistent water balance.

UV systems use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, viruses, and algae, reducing the need for chemicals. They offer an additional layer of sanitation and help keep your pool water clearer and healthier.

We do not offer solar heating at this time. However, we provide efficient electric heat pumps that can keep your pool at a comfortable temperature year-round.

Yes! We partner with Lyon Financial and HFS Financial to offer pool financing options.

Most pool projects take 8–12 weeks from start to finish, depending on design complexity, permits, and weather conditions.
