One of the first questions that comes to mind with new pool research is usually, “How much will it cost?” The truth is, pool pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Everything from the type of pool you choose to the size, materials, and features can affect the final price tag.
In this guide, we’ll break down the key factors that influence the cost of inground pools so you know what to expect and how to plan for the investment that fits your lifestyle and budget.
1. Cost of Materials
Major fluctuations can happen–in fact, material costs have varied significantly since COVID. At Oasis, we consistently audit our suppliers to ensure we’re getting the best possible prices, which allows us to pass those savings on to you.
2. Your Backyard
Some backyards present more challenges than others. Backyards with elevation changes allow us to be creative in designing a pool and deck space incorporating retaining walls,unbalanced pool walls, or even an infinity edge. Another key factor are properties with tighter access, which can require specialized machinery.
The following factors can contribute to pricing:
- Accessibility
- Layout
- Elevations
3. Quality of Craftsmanship
With 20 years in the business, we’ve had the opportunity to acquire and train the most skilled professionals in the industry. Our comprehensive 750-page training manual details the procedures for building the highest quality pool, ensuring your enjoyment for years to come.
Our project managers regularly attend continuing education courses and participate in bi-weekly training sessions held by Oasis. We are committed to innovation and continually test new processes to improve our pool construction, often exceeding industry standards.
Our priority is to invest time and resources into our team to provide our community with the highest quality pools, from the structural integrity to the aesthetics.
4. Pool Features
There are many ways to add that “WOW” factor to your swimming pool. Features give you an opportunity to add visual and auditory components to enhance your experience. One of the most common features is bubblers in the sunshelf or bubblers with LED lights.
Other features include:
- Elevated walls
- Sheer descents
- Scuppers
- Deck jets
- Water bowls
And let’s not forget about fire—who doesn’t love the ambiance of a fire feature while you’re relaxing in your backyard oasis in the evening?
5. Quality of Materials
There’s a wide range of materials available for pool construction. One example is the quality of travertine, which can vary significantly with different suppliers depending on the quarry and the level of investment made in sourcing. Our research has shown that opting for cheaper materials often leads to future problems like safety issues and a lack of durability.
We apply this same philosophy to every component of your pool, including the rebar, concrete used in the shell, interior pool finish, and water circulation equipment. This sets the Oasis Standard. We adhere to this integrity on every build, from the most modest swimming pools to the most elaborate backyard spaces.
Let’s Talk Dollar Amount
Now it’s time to talk about money. With what was mentioned in this article, Oasis Pavers And Pools works diligently to remain highly competitive in our market. While we have built swimming pools from $60,000 to over $600,000, our average cost of an inground pool build that’s high-quality is $85,000. Adding a spa to the pool typically costs an extra $25,000 with a heater.
I hope this article helps to clarify the cost of an inground pool and the factors involved. While every pool is unique, every backyard is unique, and every customer is unique, we take the time to listen to your thoughts and needs, and design the perfect pool for you and your family, giving you years of fun, relaxation, and joy.
