Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical timeline for building a custom pool?
Most Aqua Oasis custom pool projects are completed in just 4 to 6 weeks, depending on design complexity, permitting, and weather conditions. Our efficient process includes excavation, steel installation, plumbing, decking, and plaster—delivered by in-house crews. Additional features like rock waterfalls, custom lighting, or grotto slides may extend the timeline slightly.

Do you handle the design and permitting process?
Yes — we take care of the entire process from start to finish, including 3D design planning, engineering, and pulling all required permits. You won’t have to worry about navigating any red tape.
 
Can you build a pool in a small or irregular backyard?
Yes! We design compact inground pools like cocktail pools, spools, and tropical geometric pools that work beautifully in tight or uniquely shaped spaces. Our team maximizes every inch with efficient layouts and modern design solutions.
 
What are the benefits of a saltwater pool system?
Saltwater systems create softer water, reduce harsh chemicals, and lower maintenance costs. They’re gentler on skin and eyes, more eco-friendly, and over time, more cost-effective than traditional chlorine systems.
 
Do you offer pool financing?
Yes. We partner with trusted lenders to provide flexible financing options for new pool construction and renovations. We’ll guide you through selecting the best pool loan based on your budget and goals.

What’s the difference between shotcrete and gunite—and which do you use?
We use shotcrete—a high-pressure, wet-mix concrete that offers greater consistency, strength, and durability compared to dry-mix gunite. Shotcrete is ideal for complex pool shapes and custom water features.
