What to Expect During Pool Construction in Wellington, FL

Building a pool is a big project that takes careful planning and time. At Palm Pool & Spa, Inc., we help Wellington homeowners understand each step of a new pool construction. Here's what you can expect when you work with pool building team to build your new pool.

Step 1: Planning and Design

• Initial site inspection
• Pool size and shape selection
• Material and finish choices
• Permit application process

Step 2: Site Preparation

Before digging starts, we mark utility lines and set up safety barriers. Our team removes plants, rocks, or structures in the construction area. We also create access paths for equipment and materials.

Step 3: Excavation

• Soil removal and grading
• Pool shape outline
• Depth measurements
• Dirt removal from property

Step 4: Plumbing and Electrical

Our licensed pool professionals handle all plumbing and electrical work with great care. We start by installing water supply lines that keep your pool filled and flowing properly. Next, we connect your filter systems to ensure clean, clear water at all times. Finally, we set up drain systems and wire your pool lighting to create a safe, well-lit swimming environment.

Step 5: Steel Framework

Steel bars create a strong foundation that prevents cracking and shifting. This phase includes:

• Steel bar placement
• Wall reinforcement
• Step framing
• Equipment pad setup

Step 6: Gunite Application

Gunite is a strong concrete mixture that we spray to form your pool's shell. Our team uses special equipment to apply this material evenly across the steel framework, creating a solid structure. The gunite needs 7-10 days to dry and cure completely before we can move to the next step.

Step 7: Tile and Coping

• Waterline tile installation
• Pool edge finishing
• Step markers
• Decorative features

Step 8: Deck Construction & Installation

We build your pool deck using materials that match your home and provide safe, non-slip surfaces.

Step 9: Interior Finish

The final coating gives your pool its color and texture. Options include:

• Plaster
• Pebble finishes
• Quartz surfaces
• Glass bead blends

Step 10: Startup and Training

After filling your new pool, we carefully balance all water chemicals to create a safe swimming environment. Our team then runs thorough tests on every piece of equipment to ensure everything works perfectly. We take time to show you how to operate all your pool's systems, from the pump to the lighting controls. Finally, we explain all the basic maintenance tasks you'll need to keep your pool in top shape throughout the year.
