Erickson Pools

Our Process

Many homeowners wonder about how the construction process will effect their homes and their lives. To ease your mind, we've assembled a step-by-step outline to help you know what to expect. View the steps below.

Site Prep

1. Site Preparation

Prior to your layout, Erickson Pools may need to do some site preparation and remove your sod in the pool area.

Excavation

2. Excavation

It's time to bring in large equipment to dig the hole, remove and haul all of the excess dirt from your pool.

Layout

3. Layout

We are ready to begin the layout of your custom designed pool. The basic plumbing is also installed at this point.

Steel

4. Steel Installation

Reinforcing steel rebar is placed to the shape of the pool, wired together and is used as a device for the gunite to attach to. At various times throughout the construction, inspections are required. After the installation of the steel, the first inspection is due.

Gunite

5. Gunite

This will create the "shell" of your pool. The gunite is "shot" directly at the rebar and attaches to create a strong bond.

Plumbing

6. Plumbing

At this stage we run the piping and install the pump and filter at the equipment pad.

Tile

7. Tile

Your selection of tile is now installed along the waterline of the pool and any custom raised areas.

Decking

8. Decking

At this point, your choice of decking will be installed, whether it be acrylic or pavers. It's starting to look finished!

Plaster

The interior finish is installed at this time.
