Creating the Design

• You need to work with a professional landscape
  designer on this part, although doing your own
  research also helps.
• Look for inspirations online that you deem
  fitting of your yard size and style. And then
  talk to your designer later on about integrating
  these details to the final pool design.

7
Securing Permit

• Avoid unnecessary delays. Coordinate with your
  local government about the permit you need to
  secure.
• Discuss this as well with your landscaping
  partner. City policies should be clear to
  everyone before starting out with the
  construction.

8
Building the Pool

• Once the design is ready and youre done
  obtaining permit, then your landscaping company
  can now proceed to excavating the yard. With
  proper equipment or machinery and of course,
  skilled workers, this can be completed in a day.
• As to the soil removed, you can request to have
  it placed in another area in your yard. After the
  digging, the steel reinforcement can now be
  installed along all sides and floor of the pool.
  These steel rods will serve as your pools strong
  skeleton so it stays durable and tough.

9
Laying Down Drains and Piping

• Next step is to install all drains and piping
  required along with electrical components needed.
  
• At this point, make sure that someone from the
  landscaping team does a thorough check on the
  site to ensure quality.
• This part is critical (any error may pose a
  threat to safety) so do coordinate with your pool
  builders too.

10
Adding Cement, Placing Tiles

• Next part of the project is adding the cement.
  This is done by shooting cement on the walls of
  the pool using a hose.
• Once this is finished, the pool must be left to
  dry for approximately seven days. During this
  period, see to it that you water the concrete
  several times a day to prevent cracking.
• Once the cement is dry, your pool builders can
  now focus on the tile work. Tile patterns to be
  used should have been decided right at the
  planning stage.

11
Finally, Completing The Pool Interior

• The last step is finishing the final look of your
  pool. Again, there are several choices available
  that suit your personal preferences.
• Work closely with your landscaping company to
  make sure your pool is done just the way youve
  imagined it, or maybe a lot better even.
