The Process

Let NTX Custom Pools design your next dream-pool. After your free consultation every client receives a 3-D computer generated design before we begin construction. These masterfully created renderings allow you to see all the elements of your pool design as they integrate to your home and backyard. At this phase, you can make revisions and improvements as necessary. Upon approval of your design, we use this layout to create detailed construction plans and we begin the layout process.

In the layout phase, we take the dimensions of the pool design & construction plans and lay it out onto the proposed pool site. This will allow you to see the outlines of the actual size and shape of the pool and make any changes to the size and location of the pool before we actually break ground.

Once the layout phase is complete, a pool excavation crew will dig the site according to your plans- with exact measurements and specifications. We are now ready for forms and rebar.

We use wood forms and rebar to create the detail and exact shape for your design. Together the forms and rebar create the framework and high structural integrity of your pool.

In this phase we install all the electrical and plumbing lines. The plumbing is put under pressure and inspected. The electrical is installed per required city and state codes.

In this phase we apply the gunite using high-pressure hoses to create the inner shell of your new pool. Once the gunite is applied, you will have a very good idea of exactly how your new pool will look!

This is the phase where the tile is installed around the inside edge of the pool and the coping which lines the outside edge of your pool.

This is where your water features come to life. You will select different boulder types, and sizes to create waterfalls, jumping rocks, grottoes, and the unique design aspects of your pool.

This is the patio area around your pool. Once the concrete is placed, you have options as to the finished surface. Rock salt, textured and/ or stained concrete, pavers, and turf are just a few options.

Applying the plaster becomes the final finish to the interior of the pool. Your pool is now watertight. There are many products and colors available. Your plaster is applied to the gunite and is quickly trowled by hand to ensure a beautiful finish.

In this phase we provide pool school taught by Flashover Pool & Services to educate you about the initial start-up and maintenance of your pool. Your pool will be ready for cannonballs after this!
