If you want to be swimming in your own backyard next summer, winter is the time to start. Good pool projects begin long before the excavator shows up, and the homeowners who plan early get the best spots on the spring build schedule.
1. Get a quote and pick a pool type
Start with a site visit and quote. We will look at your yard, access for equipment, slope and utilities, and talk through vinyl liner versus fiberglass, size, steps, ledges and features like lights and covers.
2. Finalize the design
Lock in the shape, depth, liner pattern or fiberglass model, decking and equipment. Decisions made now prevent delays later.
3. Permits
Inground pools in the Tri-Cities need permits from your city or county, and that review takes time. In Pasco, for example, inground pools typically need building, electrical and plumbing permits. Barrier and fence rules apply too. Requirements differ between Kennewick, Richland, Pasco, West Richland and Benton and Franklin counties, so we confirm what applies to your address.
4. HOA approval
If your neighborhood has an HOA, submit your plans early. Approval can take weeks.
5. The spring build
Once the ground and weather cooperate, construction moves quickly. Install time varies by pool type and options but typically runs about 4 to 8 weeks. After that come decking, landscaping and your first swim.
