You’re not just adding water to your yard. You’re creating the spot where your kids will spend every summer day, where you’ll host the barbecues people actually remember, and where you’ll finally have a reason to stay home on weekends instead of fighting traffic to the beach.
That only happens when the pool is built to last. When the coping doesn’t crack after two winters. When the patio around it drains properly and doesn’t turn into a puddle every time it rains. When the retaining walls are actually level and the grading keeps water flowing away from your foundation.
You need someone who knows how to work with Long Island soil—because it’s not like anywhere else. Sandy spots that shift, clay that holds water, setback rules that change by township. If your pool company doesn’t know how to handle that, you’ll be dealing with problems for years.
Ageless started as a masonry company, and that foundation still drives how we build pools today. We’re not a national franchise that showed up last year. We’ve been working in Nassau and Suffolk County for nearly two decades, and we’ve built a reputation on doing the whole job—not just the easy parts.
Every project is managed by an owner. That means when you call, you’re talking to someone who’s actually accountable. When there’s a question on site, the person making the decision has been doing this work since before most of these subdivisions in North Bellmore even existed.
We’re licensed, insured, and bonded. We’ve earned an A+ rating with the BBB and multiple awards from Angie’s List. But more than that, we’ve earned trust by showing up, doing what we said we’d do, and making sure the finished product is something you’re proud to show off.
First, we walk your property and talk through what you actually want. Not what looks good in a brochure—what works for your yard, your budget, and how you plan to use the space. We’ll measure for setbacks, check drainage, and make sure the design fits the lot.
Then we handle permits. Nassau County requires building, electrical, and plumbing permits, and the approval process usually takes two to three weeks. We manage that so you don’t have to sit on hold with the town.
Once permits clear, we start excavation. Depending on soil conditions, that takes one to two days. Then our crews rough in plumbing and electrical, pour the shell, and install steel and concrete. That’s the foundation of everything, and it’s where most companies cut corners. We don’t.
After the structure is set, we move to finishing work—coping, tile, patio pavers, any retaining walls or grading adjustments. This is where the masonry expertise makes a difference. We’re not just dropping in a pool. We’re building a complete backyard poolscape in Suffolk County and Nassau County that looks like it was always meant to be there.
Ready to get started?
You get the full scope. Design, permits, excavation, plumbing, electrical, concrete, masonry, and final grading. We’re not handing off pieces of the job to random subcontractors. Our crews do the work.
That includes pool patio masonry in Nassau County and Suffolk County—travertine pavers, custom pool coping and tile in Suffolk County, brick, natural stone, whatever fits the design. We build the retaining walls if your yard has elevation changes. We handle the grading so water moves away from your house and doesn’t pool on the deck.
If you want a simple rectangular pool for laps, we can do that. If you want a resort-style setup with waterfalls, integrated spa, and custom lighting, we can do that too. The process is the same either way: we listen to what you want, we tell you what’s realistic, and we build it right.
North Bellmore properties come with their own challenges—older neighborhoods, smaller lots, existing landscaping that needs to be worked around. We’ve done enough jobs in this area to know how to navigate that without tearing up your entire yard in the process.
Most custom in-ground pools in Nassau County take six to ten weeks from excavation to completion. That timeline assumes normal weather and no major surprises with soil or permitting.
The first chunk of time goes to permits, which usually take two to three weeks in Nassau County. Once those clear, excavation happens in a day or two. Plumbing and electrical rough-in takes three to five days. Steel and concrete work takes one to two weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the pool.
Finishing work—coping, tile, decking, any masonry around the pool—takes another two to three weeks. If you’re adding features like waterfalls, custom lighting, or a spa, that can extend the timeline. Weather delays happen, especially in spring when rain can push schedules back. Material delays are less common now than they were a few years ago, but they still happen occasionally.
In Nassau County, you’re looking at $30,000 to $100,000 for most residential in-ground pool installations. The range depends on size, materials, site conditions, and what you’re including beyond the pool itself.
A basic rectangular pool with standard finishes and minimal decking sits on the lower end. A custom shape with premium coping, travertine pavers, integrated spa, waterfalls, and extensive patio work pushes toward the higher end. Long Island costs run higher than the national average because of labor rates, permit fees, and the challenges that come with building on this soil.
If your yard has drainage issues, steep grading, or requires significant excavation work, that adds to the cost. Same with retaining walls, extensive landscaping, or upgraded electrical for lighting and automation systems. We give you a detailed estimate upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Yes. Nassau County requires building, electrical, and plumbing permits for in-ground pool installation. You’ll also need to meet setback requirements, fencing regulations, and safety equipment standards.
Setbacks dictate how far the pool needs to be from property lines, and those measurements vary depending on your lot size and zoning. Fencing is required around the pool area, and it has to meet specific height and gate requirements to pass inspection. You’ll also need compliant drain covers and safety equipment in place before final approval.
The permit process takes two to three weeks on average, assuming everything is submitted correctly the first time. We handle all of that as part of the project. We know what the town is looking for, we submit the paperwork, and we make sure the job passes inspection when it’s done.
The soil. Long Island has a mix of sand and clay depending on where you are, and both create challenges. Sandy soil shifts and doesn’t hold structure well without proper compaction. Clay doesn’t drain, which means water sits and creates pressure against the pool shell if the grading isn’t done right.
You also deal with a high water table in many areas, which complicates excavation. If you hit groundwater during the dig, you need pumps and dewatering systems to keep the site dry while the concrete cures. That’s not something every pool company knows how to handle.
Then there’s the weather. Freeze-thaw cycles are hard on concrete and masonry. If the pool isn’t built with the right materials and techniques, you’ll see cracking and shifting within a few years. We’ve been working in Nassau and Suffolk County long enough to know how to build for these conditions. That’s why the pools we install hold up season after season without major repairs.
Travertine is one of the best options for pool coping and patio pavers in this climate. It stays cool underfoot even in direct sun, which matters when you’re walking around barefoot in July. It’s also naturally slip-resistant, so it’s safer around water than smooth concrete or certain types of tile.
Travertine holds up well through freeze-thaw cycles, which is important on Long Island. Cheaper materials can crack or flake after a few winters. Travertine is durable, and it ages well—it doesn’t look worn out after five years like some pavers do.
Brick and natural stone are also solid choices depending on the look you’re going for. Brick gives you a classic, traditional feel. Natural stone works well if you’re building a more organic, resort-style poolscape. We walk through material options during the design phase and help you choose what makes sense for your budget, your aesthetic, and how much maintenance you want to deal with long-term.
Yes. We build complete backyard poolscapes in Nassau County and Suffolk County, and that includes waterfalls, integrated spas, custom lighting, and other features that make the space feel more like a resort than a standard backyard pool.
Waterfalls require additional plumbing and structural work, but they’re not complicated if they’re planned into the design from the start. Same with spas—we can integrate them into the pool shell or build them as a separate feature depending on what you want. Lighting is another popular add-on, especially LED systems that let you control colors and effects from your phone.
The key is planning everything upfront. If you decide halfway through construction that you want a waterfall, it’s harder to add and more expensive. But if we design it in from the beginning, it’s a seamless part of the build. We talk through all of this during the consultation so you know what’s possible and what it costs before we break ground.
