What the work covers

  • Excavation and shell

    Dug to the right levels, formed and poured, with the groundwork done the way we would do any structure that has to hold water and ground pressure for decades.

  • Pool decks

    Concrete or paver decks graded to drain away from the pool and the house, with a surface that is safe underfoot when it is wet.

  • Drainage and grade

    A pool is a big hole in your drainage plan. We deal with where the ground and surface water goes so the rest of the backyard still works.

  • Coping, edges and finish

    The coping and the joins between deck and pool done cleanly, because that is where a pool either looks finished or looks patched.

When to call us

You do not need to know what is wrong. Any of these is reason enough to send a photo — and if the honest answer is “nothing yet”, that is the answer you get.

  • You are planning a new in-ground pool and want the groundwork done right
  • An existing pool deck that has cracked, heaved, or settled
  • Water pooling on the deck or running back toward the house
  • Coping or edging that has lifted or come loose

A pool is a groundworks job with water in it

The part that lasts or fails is the same part that decides every other job we do: the ground, the grade, and the drainage. That is where thirty-three years of doing this actually shows up.
