You’re not just buying a hole in the ground. You’re investing in a space that changes how your family spends time at home. Mornings start poolside. Weekends don’t require a drive. Summer becomes something you actually use your yard for.
That only happens when the pool fits your property, your budget, and your actual plans for it. Not a cookie-cutter layout. Not a design that ignores how water tables work on Long Island or what Nassau County permitting actually requires.
Custom in-ground pools in Nassau County and Suffolk County mean working with someone who knows the difference between what looks good on a screen and what holds up after ten seasons. We handle the engineering, the excavation, the masonry, and the finishes that make it yours. You get a pool that works with your space, not against it.
We started in Melville, NY, and we’ve spent nearly two decades building outdoor spaces across Long Island. We’re licensed in both Nassau County (#158301) and Suffolk County (#HI-64117), fully insured, and every project gets managed by the people who own the company.
That matters more than it sounds like it should. When the same crew shows up every day, when the owner’s on site, when the people answering your calls are the ones making decisions—things move faster and get done right the first time.
We’re not the cheapest option in Melville, NY, and we won’t pretend to be. You’re paying for a pool that doesn’t need a redo in five years, a deck that doesn’t settle unevenly, and coping that actually matches what you approved. That’s the difference between a Suffolk County pool installation company that treats this like a transaction and one that treats it like a reputation.
First, we come out and look at your yard. Not a sales pitch—a real assessment of what’s possible given your space, your soil, and your budget. We’ll talk about size, shape, depth, materials, and what makes sense for how you’ll actually use the pool.
Then we design it. You’ll see 3D renderings and a full layout before anything gets built. We handle every permit, every inspection, and every requirement Nassau and Suffolk Counties throw at us. You don’t touch that part.
Excavation comes next. We own our equipment, so we’re not waiting on subcontractors or dealing with scheduling conflicts that push your timeline back a month. Once the hole’s dug and the foundation’s set, we build the pool structure, install plumbing and electrical, and start on the masonry work—coping, decking, retaining walls if needed.
The final phase is finishing. That’s when you see the tile, the stone, the water features, and everything that makes it feel complete. We test the systems, walk you through maintenance, and make sure you’re set before we call it done. Most projects take 8 to 12 weeks depending on complexity and weather. We’ll give you a real timeline upfront, not an optimistic guess.

A complete backyard poolscape in Nassau County or Suffolk County isn’t just the pool. It’s the entire setup—pool structure, decking, coping, grading, drainage, masonry, and any features you want integrated from the start.
We offer gunite construction for full customization, which is what most Long Island homeowners go with when they want a pool that fits an irregular yard or includes built-in seating, steps, or a spa. You’ll choose from materials like travertine, bluestone, pavers, or granite for the deck and coping. We also handle pool patio masonry in Suffolk County and Nassau County, including retaining walls if your yard has elevation changes that need managing.
If you want water features, lighting, heating, or automation, we build that in during construction—not as an afterthought. Smart pool systems run between $1,500 and $3,500 and let you control temperature, lighting, and filtration from your phone. It’s not essential, but it’s worth considering if you want to keep maintenance simple.
Concrete pool surrounds in Nassau County and Suffolk County also come with options for texture, color, and layout. We’ll make sure the deck doesn’t just look good—it drains properly, stays level, and handles freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. Custom pool coping and tile in Suffolk County get installed with the same attention. It’s the detail work that makes the difference between a pool that looks great for two years and one that holds up for twenty.
Most in-ground pools in Melville, NY, and across Nassau and Suffolk Counties run between $60,000 and $90,000 depending on size, materials, and features. That’s for a standard gunite pool with basic decking and coping. If you’re adding a spa, custom tile work, water features, or high-end stone, expect that number to climb toward $100,000 or more.
The price includes excavation, permitting, construction, plumbing, electrical, and finishing work. What it doesn’t include is ongoing maintenance, which typically runs $3,000 to $6,000 a year depending on how much you handle yourself versus hiring a service.
Financing is available if you’d rather spread the cost out. We’ll walk you through what affects pricing during the estimate so there are no surprises later. The goal is to give you a pool that fits your budget and actually gets used, not one that drains your account before it’s even finished.
Most in-ground pool installations in Suffolk County and Nassau County take 8 to 12 weeks from start to finish. That timeline assumes normal weather, no major permitting delays, and a straightforward site with decent access for equipment.
If your yard has complications—high water table, ledge rock, tight access, or drainage issues—it might take longer. Same goes if you’re adding a lot of custom masonry, a spa, or complex grading work. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the design phase, not an optimistic one that falls apart halfway through.
Permitting is usually the wildcard. Nassau and Suffolk Counties have strict codes, and approval times vary depending on the town and time of year. We handle all of that, but it’s worth knowing upfront that permits can add a week or two to the schedule. Once we break ground, though, the work moves steadily. You’ll see progress every week, and we’ll keep you updated if anything shifts.
Yes. Every in-ground pool in Nassau County and Suffolk County requires a permit, and the requirements vary by town. You’ll need to meet setback rules, fencing codes, and sometimes drainage or environmental regulations depending on where your property sits.
In Nassau County, setback requirements are typically stricter, and fees can run higher depending on the municipality. Suffolk County has its own set of rules, and some towns require additional inspections or engineering reports if you’re near wetlands or have a high water table.
We handle the entire permitting process as part of the job. That means pulling permits, scheduling inspections, and making sure everything’s up to code before, during, and after construction. You don’t need to deal with the town or chase down paperwork. It’s built into what we do, and it’s one less thing you have to manage while the pool’s going in.
Travertine, pavers, and bluestone are the most common choices for pool decking in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and each has trade-offs. Travertine stays cooler underfoot in summer, resists slipping when wet, and holds up well in freeze-thaw cycles. It’s a solid middle-ground option that works for most Long Island pools.
Pavers give you more design flexibility. You can mix colors, patterns, and textures, and if one cracks, you replace that piece instead of tearing up a whole section. They’re durable and relatively easy to maintain, though you’ll want to reseal them every few years to keep them looking clean.
Bluestone is a premium option that’s popular for a reason. It’s dense, durable, and has a natural look that works with almost any style. It costs more upfront, but it lasts decades without much maintenance. The downside is it can get hot in direct sun, so if your pool area doesn’t have shade, it might not be the most comfortable choice.
We’ll walk through material options during the design phase and show you samples so you can see how they actually look and feel. The right choice depends on your budget, your aesthetic, and how you plan to use the space.
It depends. Pools can increase home value by 5% to 8% in the right market, but that’s not guaranteed. In Melville, NY, and across Long Island, buyers with families tend to see pools as a major selling point—especially if the pool’s well-maintained, the yard has space, and the installation looks professional.
That said, you’re unlikely to recoup the full cost of the pool when you sell. If you spend $75,000 on a pool, you might see a $20,000 to $30,000 bump in value, not a dollar-for-dollar return. The real value is in how you use it while you live there. If it changes how your family spends time at home and keeps you from needing a beach club membership, that’s where the return shows up.
Pools also make homes easier to sell in the right buyer pool. Families looking for outdoor space and entertainment options will prioritize a home with a finished backyard over one that needs work. Just make sure the pool’s done right—poorly installed pools with drainage issues or cheap finishes can actually hurt your resale value instead of helping it.
Yes, but it requires extra planning. High water tables are common across Long Island, especially in low-lying areas and near the coast. If your property has groundwater issues, we’ll need to account for that during excavation and construction to prevent the pool from floating or shifting after it’s installed.
The solution usually involves a dewatering system during construction and a permanent drainage setup around the pool. We may also need to add a hydrostatic relief valve in the pool floor to equalize pressure if groundwater rises. It adds some cost to the project, but it’s necessary to make sure the pool stays where it’s supposed to.
We’ll assess your property during the site visit and let you know if a high water table is going to be a factor. If it is, we’ll design around it. This isn’t something you skip or hope works out—it’s part of building a pool that lasts. Plenty of Long Island homes deal with this, and we’ve handled it more times than we can count.
