You’re not just adding water to your backyard. You’re creating the space where your family will spend every summer for the next twenty years.
That means the pool itself matters, but so does everything around it. The patio that doesn’t crack after one winter. The coping that stays level. The grading that keeps water flowing away from your foundation instead of toward it. These aren’t extras—they’re what separate a pool that lasts from one that becomes a maintenance nightmare.
When the construction is done right, you get years of use without constant repairs. You get a backyard people actually want to be in. And you get the peace of mind that comes from knowing the job was handled by people who understand what Long Island soil, water tables, and weather do to improperly built pools.
We’ve been handling custom in-ground pool installations across Nassau County and Suffolk County for years. We know what Huntington Station properties deal with—rocky soil on the North Shore, high water tables closer to the coast, and townships with their own permit requirements.
We’re not a pool-only company. We’re masonry contractors who build complete outdoor spaces, which means when we install your pool, we’re also handling the retaining walls, the concrete surrounds, and the patio work that ties it all together. You’re not coordinating three different crews or hoping everyone shows up on time.
That matters when you’re trying to get a pool finished before summer ends. It also matters when something needs adjusting five years down the road and you’re calling the same people who built it.
First, we walk your property and talk through what you’re picturing. Pool size, shape, depth, where it sits in relation to your house and property lines. We’re also looking at slope, drainage, and soil conditions—things that affect how the job gets done and what it’ll cost.
Once the design is set, we handle the permits. Every township in Nassau and Suffolk County has different requirements, and we know what each one needs. While that’s processing, we’re ordering materials and scheduling the work.
Excavation comes first. Depending on your location, that might mean dealing with rock or managing groundwater. Then we build the pool structure, install plumbing and electrical, and move into the finish work—coping, tile, concrete decking, and any masonry features you’re adding.
Most projects take six to eight weeks from start to finish. You’ll know the timeline upfront, and we’ll keep you updated when things change. No one likes surprises when there’s heavy equipment in their yard.

You’re getting the full build—excavation, pool construction, plumbing, electrical, and all the finish work. That includes custom pool coping and tile, concrete pool surrounds, and any grading or retaining walls needed to make the space work.
If your yard has a slope, we’re building the walls to hold it back. If drainage is an issue, we’re rerouting water before it becomes a problem. And if you want a patio, fire pit, or outdoor kitchen tied into the design, we’re handling that too. It’s all part of creating a backyard poolscape that works as one complete space.
In Huntington Station and the surrounding areas, soil conditions vary enough that cookie-cutter approaches don’t work. A pool built in Dix Hills faces different challenges than one in Northport or Commack. We adjust the construction process based on what your property needs, not what’s easiest for us.
The goal is a pool that looks great and functions properly for decades. That means using the right materials, building to the correct specifications, and not skipping steps because they’re time-consuming.
Most custom in-ground pools in Nassau County and Suffolk County run between $50,000 and $90,000, depending on size, features, and site conditions. That includes the pool itself, all necessary masonry work, coping, decking, and standard finishes.
If your property has challenging soil, steep slopes, or requires significant grading and retaining walls, costs go up. Same goes for high-end finishes, integrated spas, custom water features, or extensive patio work. We price every job based on what your specific property needs and what you’re asking us to build.
You’ll get a detailed breakdown upfront—no vague estimates or surprise charges halfway through. The number we give you includes permits, engineering, excavation, construction, and finishing. If something unexpected comes up during excavation, we’ll talk through it before moving forward.
Most custom in-ground pool installations take six to eight weeks from excavation to completion. Permit processing adds time on the front end—usually two to four weeks depending on the township.
Weather affects the timeline, especially if we hit heavy rain during excavation or concrete work. So does your property. Rocky soil takes longer to excavate. High water tables require dewatering equipment and extra time. Steep slopes mean more grading and retaining wall work before we can even start the pool.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific project and property conditions. If you’re trying to have the pool ready by a certain date, tell us upfront. We’ll let you know if it’s doable or if you need to adjust expectations. Spring installations usually move faster than mid-summer projects when everyone’s backlogged.
Long Island’s soil and water table create challenges you don’t see in other parts of the country. The North Shore has rocky, glacial soil that’s tough to excavate and often requires blasting or heavy machinery. The South Shore deals with high groundwater, which means dewatering during construction and designing the pool to handle hydrostatic pressure.
Every township has different setback requirements, zoning rules, and permit processes. What’s allowed in Huntington might not fly in Smithtown or Babylon. We know these regulations because we’ve been working here long enough to navigate them without delays.
Weather is another factor. Harsh winters and humid summers mean pools need proper construction to handle freeze-thaw cycles and constant moisture. Shortcuts show up fast here—cracked coping, shifting decks, and drainage problems that turn your yard into a swamp. Proper construction costs more upfront but saves you from expensive repairs down the road.
If your yard has any significant slope, you probably need a retaining wall. Long Island properties, especially in areas like Huntington Station, often have uneven terrain that requires grading and structural support before a pool can go in.
Retaining walls serve two purposes—they create a level space for the pool and prevent soil erosion that would undermine the structure over time. Without proper retaining walls, you’re looking at shifting ground, cracked decking, and drainage issues that send water straight into your pool or toward your house.
We evaluate your property during the initial consultation and tell you exactly what’s needed. Sometimes it’s a small wall on one side. Sometimes it’s terracing the entire yard. Either way, we build it as part of the project so everything’s engineered together, not added as an afterthought by a different crew who may not understand how it affects the pool.
Natural stone and poured concrete are the most durable options for Long Island’s climate. Both handle freeze-thaw cycles well and don’t deteriorate as quickly as pavers or stamped concrete when properly installed.
Custom pool coping in materials like bluestone or granite gives you a clean edge that stays level and doesn’t crack. For concrete pool surrounds, we use reinforced pours with proper drainage built in. The key is making sure water moves away from the pool and your house—not pooling on the deck or seeping into the ground where it’ll cause frost heave in winter.
Tile work around the waterline should be porcelain or glass tile rated for freeze-thaw resistance. Cheaper materials crack and pop off after a few seasons. We only use products that are proven to last in this climate, even if they cost more upfront. You’re better off paying once for the right materials than replacing failed work in three years.
Yes, and it’s actually the smarter way to do it. When we build your pool and patio masonry work together, everything’s designed as one cohesive space. The grading works together. The drainage is integrated. And you’re not tearing up a finished yard later to add a fire pit or outdoor kitchen.
We handle pool patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and seating walls as part of the overall backyard poolscape. Because we’re masonry contractors, not just pool installers, we can build the entire outdoor living area without bringing in subcontractors or coordinating multiple crews.
This approach saves time and usually costs less than doing it in phases. You’re also avoiding the hassle of living through two separate construction projects. One round of heavy equipment, one permit process, one timeline—and you end up with a finished backyard that actually works the way you want it to.
