From Vision to Reality
Building a custom pool and outdoor space is an exciting journey - and we're here to guide you every step of the way. At Covert Excavating, we bring decades of experience, craftsmanship, and attention to detail to every project. Our streamlined process ensures your vision comes to life smoothly and efficiently, with results you'll enjoy for years to come.
We start by getting to know you - your vision, lifestyle, and needs. During this phase, we discuss your design ideas, budget, and space, creating a plan that captures the perfect balance of style and functionality. From sleek, modern pools to family-friendly backyard retreats, we design with your goals in mind.
Once we've aligned on your vision, we draft detailed engineering plans and handle all necessary paperwork to secure the required construction permits.
Step 1:
Consultation
& Design
We apply for all necessary permits for you, and once we have them in hand, we're ready to break ground. Our team prepares and excavates your property with precision, ensuring the area is properly graded and ready for the foundation of your custom pool.
Step 2:
Site Preparation & Excavation
Before we pour any concrete, we install the essential under-plumbing system - including drains, jets, and circulation lines. We then construct a reinforced steel framework using high-quality rebar, creating a durable foundation designed to last.
Step 3:
Plumbing & Reinforcement
Here's where your pool starts taking shape. Whether it's gunite, fiberglass, or liner, we bring your pool to life. Using durable, high-performance materials like gunite or shotcrete, we "shoot" concrete onto the reinforced steel structure, forming the pool's shell - including steps, benches, and any custom features you've requested. This monolithic shell ensures the strength and longevity of your pool.
Step 4:
Pool Shell Construction
Once the pool shell is set and plumbing inspections are complete, we turn our attention to the surrounding space. We install coping stones around the pool's perimeter and create stunning concrete patios and poolscapes, customized to your style. Our team ensures every detail - from proper drainage to flawless leveling - is executed with precision and care.
Step 5:
Hardscape & Patio Installation
The final step is where everything comes together. We add the finishing details that make your pool uniquely yours - whether it's custom tile work, lighting, or unique water features. Before we hand over the "keys" to your backyard paradise, we conduct a thorough quality inspection to ensure everything meets our high standards - and yours.
