Superior Quality Pool Construction

A swimming pool is only as good as the workmanship behind it. At Legacy Pool & Spa, quality construction is at the center of every project we build.

We utilize industry-proven construction methods, premium materials, and carefully selected equipment from leading manufacturers. Every phase of construction receives close attention—from excavation and steel placement to plumbing, shotcrete application, finish work, and equipment installation. Our focus on proper hydraulics, structural integrity, and construction detail helps ensure your pool performs efficiently and remains beautiful for years to come.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every pool is carefully designed and engineered to meet the specific needs of the property, the homeowner, and the intended use of the pool.

The Pool Construction Process in Sacramento

Building a custom gunite swimming pool is an exciting journey. Our team helps simplify the process by providing clear communication, professional guidance, and realistic expectations from start to finish.

Initial Consultation & Design

Every project begins with a consultation to discuss your goals, lifestyle, property, and budget. During this phase, we’ll evaluate your backyard, discuss design possibilities, and identify the features that matter most to you.

Using advanced 3D design software, we create visual concepts that allow you to see your future pool before construction begins. We help you select everything from shape and depth profiles to finishes, lighting, water features, and equipment options.

Engineering & Permitting

Once the design is approved, we prepare engineering plans and construction documents required for permitting.

Our team handles the permitting process on your behalf and coordinates with local municipalities throughout Sacramento County and surrounding jurisdictions. We work to ensure your project complies with local codes, setback requirements, safety regulations, and engineering standards.

Excavation & Structural Construction

After permits are approved, construction begins with excavation and site preparation. Steel reinforcement is installed according to engineering specifications, followed by plumbing, electrical preparation, and shotcrete application to create the structural shell of your pool.

This stage establishes the foundation of the project and is one of the most critical components of long-term pool performance.

Finishes, Equipment & Startup

Following shell construction, we install tile, coping, decking, interior finishes, equipment, lighting, automation systems, and any additional features selected during design.

Once construction is complete, we perform startup procedures, water balancing, equipment testing, and a complete homeowner orientation so you understand how to operate and care for your new pool.

From beginning to end, our team remains available to answer questions and keep you informed throughout the construction process.
