Our 3D pool and backyard design process allows you to see your project before construction begins, helping you explore pool layouts, spas, outdoor living features, materials, and finishes in a realistic rendering of your space. Together, we’ll refine the details, align the design with your goals and budget, and create a roadmap for a smooth, successful pool construction or backyard renovation project.

Through our sister company, True West Dirt Co., we handle pool excavation, demolition, grading, and site preparation without relying on outside contractors. This allows us to maintain tighter scheduling, better quality control, and a smoother construction process from day one.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about building a pool in Arizona.

The cost of building a pool in Arizona depends on the size and design of the pool, site conditions, materials, and features selected. Custom elements such as spas, water features, premium finishes, lighting, automation, and outdoor living spaces can all influence the overall investment.

At True West, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to pool construction. We take the time to understand your vision, priorities, and budget, then create a custom design that reflects what matters most to you.

A custom pool build typically includes the design, engineering, permitting, excavation, steel reinforcement, plumbing, electrical work, shotcrete or gunite pool shell, tile, coping, interior finish, equipment installation, startup, and system testing.

Depending on the project, homeowners can also incorporate spas, water features, pool lighting, automation systems, energy-efficient equipment, premium decking, patios, and other outdoor living elements.

True West approaches the backyard as a complete environment, allowing the pool and surrounding outdoor spaces to be designed together rather than as separate projects.

Every custom swimming pool project is different, and the construction process can vary based on the design, features, and property. At True West Pool Company, every project is owner-managed from start to finish, with clear communication and consistent updates throughout the pool construction process. We keep homeowners informed at every stage, so you know where your project stands and what to expect next.

We specialize in custom swimming pool construction in Arizona, building a wide range of inground pool styles designed to fit your space, lifestyle, and design goals.

Our pool builders create everything from modern geometric pools and classic rectangular pools to freeform resort-style designs, lap pools, and compact small backyard pools. We also design and build luxury features like infinity edge pools, spa-integrated pools, and custom deep-end or shallow lounging layouts depending on how you plan to use your space.

Beyond standard pool types, we also construct fully customized solutions including saltwater pools, energy-efficient systems, and fully integrated pool-and-spa combinations that enhance both comfort and long-term usability.

Every pool is designed from the ground up using 3D planning so you can see how your chosen style, layout, and features will work within your backyard before construction begins. Whether you want a functional lap pool for fitness or a full resort-style backyard centerpiece, our team of experienced Arizona pool builders will guide you through the entire process from design to completion.

Yes. True West Pool Co. works with Lyon Financial and HFS Home Improvement Loans to offer financing options for qualifying homeowners. These financing partners specialize in home improvement financing and can provide options to help spread the cost of a swimming pool or outdoor living project over time.

Financing can be used toward a variety of projects, including new pool construction, pool remodeling, spas, water features, and complete backyard renovations. During the design process, our team can help you understand how financing may fit into your overall project budget so you can plan your pool and outdoor space with greater flexibility.

Yes, we provide pool repair services that include diagnosing and addressing common structural and equipment-related issues, including pool leaks, circulation problems, and surface or plumbing concerns.

Our team handles a wide range of repair needs that often come up in both older and newer swimming pool construction systems, including issues with pumps, filters, heaters, automation systems, and water loss detection. We also provide support for pool leak detection and repair, which can involve identifying underground plumbing issues, structural cracks, or equipment failures that may not be immediately visible.

In addition to leak repair, we also assist with ongoing performance issues such as low circulation, inconsistent heating, or equipment malfunctions that impact overall pool function. Many of these problems can be resolved without requiring a full remodel, depending on the condition of the existing inground pool system.

If a larger issue is identified during inspection, we’ll walk you through whether a targeted repair or a more comprehensive pool renovation or resurfacing approach is the best long-term solution. Our goal is to restore performance, efficiency, and safety while keeping your pool operating at its best.

What sets us apart from many other pool contractors in Arizona is our focus on combining craftsmanship, communication, and full-project accountability from start to finish.

We don’t just focus on building a pool—we focus on delivering a complete custom swimming pool construction and backyard experience that is thoughtfully designed, structurally sound, and aligned with how you actually plan to use your space. From initial design through excavation, construction, and final finishes, every stage is owner-managed with a clear process and experienced oversight.

A major difference is our emphasis on transparent communication and project management. Many homeowners feel left in the dark during large construction projects, so we prioritize consistent updates, realistic timelines, and clear expectations throughout your pool build or pool remodeling project.

We also bring together a full range of services under one coordinated plan, including inground pool installation, pool remodeling and renovation, spa integration, water features, and full backyard and outdoor living construction. 

Ultimately, our approach is centered on reliability, design quality, and long-term value—so your backyard isn’t just built, it’s built right.

We provide both full swimming pool construction and a range of pool repair and renovation services, depending on the condition of your existing pool and what you’re looking to achieve.

For homeowners with an existing pool, we offer pool remodeling services that can include resurfacing, tile and coping replacement, decking upgrades, equipment replacement, and system improvements such as pumps, filters, heaters, and automation controls. We also handle pool leak detection and repair, which helps identify and resolve issues like water loss, plumbing failures, or structural cracks.

In many cases, a full rebuild isn’t necessary. Our team evaluates your current inground pool system and recommends whether targeted repairs or a more comprehensive renovation will deliver the best long-term performance and value.

At the same time, we specialize in complete custom pool construction and backyard transformation projects, so if you’re ready for a new build or a full redesign of your outdoor space, we can take your project from concept through completion with one coordinated team.

Whether it’s repair, renovation, or new construction, the goal is the same: a functional, beautiful, and long-lasting pool system that fits your home and lifestyle.

Whether your pool needs a full pool remodeling and renovation or just targeted pool repair services depends on its age, condition, and how well it currently functions.

If you’re dealing with isolated issues—such as a failing pump, cracked tile, minor surface wear, or equipment inefficiency—then a focused repair approach may be enough to restore performance without changing the overall structure of your inground pool. Common repair needs also include pool leak detection and repair, plumbing fixes, or upgrading outdated filtration and heating systems.

However, a complete pool renovation is often recommended when multiple components are aging at once or when the pool surface, layout, or design no longer meets your needs. This can include pool resurfacing (plaster or pebble finishes), coping and decking replacement, updated water features, and modern pool equipment upgrades that improve efficiency and long-term maintenance.

In some cases, homeowners also choose a remodel when they want to enhance their backyard experience with new features like a spa, tanning ledge, lighting, or full backyard and outdoor living integration.

During a consultation, we evaluate your current system and help you decide whether a repair-focused solution or a full remodel will provide the best long-term value, performance, and visual improvement.

Our pool and backyard design process is built to take you from initial ideas to a fully developed, build-ready plan with clarity at every step.

We begin by learning how you want to use your outdoor space—whether the focus is on a custom swimming pool construction project, entertainment areas, family use, or a complete backyard and outdoor living space design. This includes discussing style preferences, budget considerations, and any must-have features like spas, water features, or outdoor living additions.

From there, our team develops a conceptual layout that brings your ideas together in a cohesive design. We use 3D pool design and rendering tools to show how your pool shape, decking, landscaping, and additional features will look in your actual space, helping you make confident decisions before construction begins.

Once the design is refined and approved, we move into planning and preparation, which includes engineering details, material selections, and coordination for pool construction and installation. Throughout this entire process, we maintain clear communication so you always understand what stage your project is in and what comes next.

The goal is to create a fully integrated design that balances aesthetics, functionality, and long-term durability—so your finished pool and backyard feel intentional, cohesive, and built around your lifestyle.

We install and upgrade a full range of modern pool equipment systems that support performance, efficiency, and long-term reliability for both new custom swimming pool construction and existing pool systems.

This includes essential circulation and filtration components such as pool pumps, filters, and plumbing systems, which work together to keep water clean and properly moving. We also install and replace pool heaters, helping maintain comfortable water temperatures for year-round use in Arizona.

For improved convenience and control, we offer pool automation systems that allow homeowners to manage lighting, temperature, cleaning cycles, and water features from a centralized system or mobile device. Many homeowners choose these upgrades during a pool remodeling project to modernize older systems.

We also install and upgrade sanitation systems, including saltwater chlorinators and other advanced water treatment solutions that improve water quality while reducing maintenance demands. Additional equipment options include LED lighting systems, energy-efficient variable-speed pumps, and integrated controls for spas and water features.

Whether you’re building a new inground pool or upgrading an existing system, the right equipment plays a key role in efficiency, maintenance, and overall enjoyment—so we help you select systems that match your pool design, usage, and long-term goals.

Yes, in most cases you will need permits to complete a swimming pool construction project in Arizona, especially for any new inground pool installation, major pool remodeling, or structural backyard work.

Permits are typically required by local municipalities to ensure your custom pool build meets safety codes, zoning regulations, and engineering standards. This can include approvals for excavation, electrical work, plumbing, fencing, and any integrated outdoor living construction such as patios, fire features, or shade structures.

As part of our pool contractor services, we handle the permitting process for you from start to finish. This includes preparing and submitting required documentation, coordinating with local building departments, and ensuring your project stays compliant with all Arizona regulations throughout construction.

Because permitting requirements can vary depending on city and project scope, having an experienced team manage this step helps prevent delays and ensures your pool construction project moves forward smoothly. We build this coordination into our process so you don’t have to navigate the paperwork or approvals on your own.

The result is a properly permitted, code-compliant build that protects your investment and ensures your backyard project is completed the right way

Your pool may need pool resurfacing when the interior finish begins to show visible wear or starts affecting the comfort, appearance, or performance of your inground pool.

Common signs include rough or abrasive surfaces, staining or discoloration that won’t clean off, cracking or chipping in the plaster or pebble finish, or areas where the surface feels uneven underfoot. You may also notice increased difficulty balancing water chemistry, which can happen as older surfaces break down over time.

Resurfacing is a key part of pool remodeling and renovation and is often paired with other upgrades such as tile replacement, coping repairs, or equipment improvements to restore both function and appearance. In many cases, homeowners also choose to update the finish to a more modern material like pebble or quartz during the process for improved durability and aesthetics.

If you’re unsure whether resurfacing is needed, a professional inspection can help determine whether your pool surface can be maintained or if a full resurfacing project is the best long-term solution for your custom swimming pool system.
