Every remarkable outdoor space begins with a vision, a quiet hope for something more, whether that be more connection, serenity, or simply, beauty. At A&G Concrete Pools, that vision serves as the foundation upon which everything else is built, from your first phone call with your personal designer to the final moments of your swimming pool orientation.
Understanding what to expect can bring clarity, confidence, and a sense of calm to what is not only a significant, but often a deeply personal investment. Spaces such as that above, while crafted by our team, are defined by you, complement by a design and construction process created to perfectly realize your unique backyard.
Discovery & Design
It begins with a conversation, one of your lifestyle, your home, and your aspirations. This initial exchange of ideas forms the creative bedrock of every design we produce, as, rather than begin with a set of prefabricated features or templates, our design team places their focus on your story, and how a space can be crafted not only for the current moment, but for countless years to come.
From there, we begin translating those insights into visual form, studying your property’s layout, elevations, and spatial dynamics, ensuring that the proposed design is not only aesthetically appealing, but functionally intuitive as well. This phase includes initial sketches, conceptual renderings, and technical blueprints—each iteration further refining your vision until it seamlessly aligns with your expectations.
This is also when materials are introduced—tile, stone, decking, and finishes that speak not just to style, but to texture, tone, and touch. It’s a process of storytelling through structure, guided by your rhythm and taste.
Engineering & Permitting
Once your design has been finalized, our focus then becomes equal parts precision and preparation. As every detail is reviewed through the lens of structural integrity, environmental alignment, and safety, the expertise of our engineers shine—ensuring that the beauty you have imagined is supported by flawless technical execution.
Our permitting team then navigates the complex web of local codes, regulations, and site-specific requirements associated with your unique project. This process varies based upon municipality and project scope, but is managed entirely in-house, providing not only peace of mind, but timeline consistency as well. Our communication remains transparent throughout this process, allowing you to know the state of your project every step of the way.
While often less visible, this phase is essential to creating a proper foundation for your custom swimming pool, providing peace of mind that your project will not only meet, but exceed all essential regulations.
Construction & Craftsmanship
Perhaps the most exciting phase, construction is where your vision is made visible. From excavation to form-steel, plumbing to tile, this stage brings all previous planning to life, realized by our in-house team of craftsmen, many of whom bring multiple decades of A&G experience with them. Their commitment shows not only in the final result, but in the respect they show to your home during the process, as they operate with a degree of professionalism rarely seen within the swimming pool industry.
Along with the craftsmen themselves, each build is assigned a dedicated project manager, who coordinates timelines, quality checks, and communication throughout the process. You’ll receive updates regularly, and, should any questions arise, will have them as a direct point of contact. While we understand that construction is an inherently disruptive process, we remain dedicated to professionalism, cleanliness, and consistency throughout this phase of your project, resulting in an experience that is not only enjoyable, but offers industry leading efficiency as well.
Finishing Touches & Orientation
As construction nears completion, attention shifts to the details that define the experience. Pool interiors are finished, lighting is finalized, and landscaping is integrated to create a setting that feels both holistic and alive.
This is also when we walk you through the functionality of your new space, offering a personalized orientation based upon your system's features, automation controls, and relevant maintenance tips, so that you feel confident in your new backyard from day one.
If there are any final points of interest, they are quickly addressed by our team, ensuring your waterscape is in perfect condition as we complete the turnover process, leaving you with an in-ground swimming pool ready for not only the summer season, but countless years to come.
A Seamless Journey, A Lasting Reward
At A&G, our design and construction process serves as more than a simple pathway, but rather, a partnership, continuously refined to provide you with the perfect pool-building experience. From concept to completion, every phase is handled with intention, transparency, and care, as when your space is crafted with integrity, it doesn’t just transform your backyard. It transforms how you live.
