Custom Pools in Phoenix, AZ

A pool is one element of a backyard, not the whole plan — and the projects that turn out best are the ones designed that way from the start. AZ Outdoor Concepts builds fully custom pools across the Phoenix metro, and because we build the hardscape, shade, and landscape too, the deck elevations, drainage, equipment screening, and sightlines are all worked out before anyone breaks ground.

That integration is the practical advantage of hiring one contractor for the whole yard. The deck is designed at the right height and slope for the coping. Conduit and gas for the fire feature and outdoor kitchen are trenched while the pool plumbing is already open. Shade goes where it will actually fall across the water and the lounge area in the afternoon. Equipment is placed where it's serviceable and out of earshot. None of that happens reliably when a pool builder, a hardscaper, and a landscaper each show up separately.

What Our Clients Say

“I will start by saying I was not asked to leave a review and did not know of this company before hiring them for our pool remodel. We could not have had a better experience with Az Pool Concepts. Our pool looks amazing and the whole process was so easy and seamless. Shawn was in constant communication about what and when things were happening, he was here every day overseeing the work being done and was always available by text with any questions we had. He exceeded our expectations and I truly cannot recommend them enough.”

“I hired Shawn and AZ Pool Concepts to demo and remove a permanent grill and fire pit to create more space, replace travertine that had been eroded by my salt pool with pearlescent limestone. Shawn and his team did an excellent job. His communication, integrity and customer service are all top notch, along with customer satisfaction in the project When I was looking to hire someone these are the attributes I was looking for. I highly recommend AZ Pool Concepts.”

“What a great experience... from the time we first contacted him to the finished product! Communication was quick and clear, the timeframe to start the job was excellent and the finished product looks amazing. We interviewed 6 companies and Shawn was the best candidate by far. We will use them again.”

“Shawn responded to my email inquiry the next morning, and came out that day to bid on our Travertine Patio and walkway job. His pricing was very fair, and actually got the whole job done in three days!! We went on vacation the day the crew started, and came home to a perfect install, clean-up, and could not be happier!”

More About Our Custom Pools Work

AZ Outdoor Concepts is the outdoor living arm of an 18-year Valley contracting family, and pools are one of the trades we've been doing the longest. What's different is the order of operations: we design the backyard, then place the pool in it.

If you're planning a pool and know you eventually want the deck, ramada, kitchen, and landscape too, talk to us before you break ground. Contact us for a free on-site consultation anywhere in the Phoenix metro.

Our Process

How We Work

Step 1

Free Design Consultation

We walk your yard with you, talk through how you actually want to use the space — cooking, entertaining, shade, play, low upkeep — and get a feel for materials, layout, and budget. No pressure, no obligation.

Step 2

Custom Design & Estimate

You get a full backyard design and a clear, itemized written estimate covering layout, hardscape materials, structures, plants, and timeline — and we handle the permitting with your city.

Step 3

Build & Installation

Our own crews handle every phase — grading and drainage, compacted base, pavers, walls, structures, turf, irrigation, and planting — built to hold up to Arizona sun, monsoon runoff, and caliche soil.

Step 4

Walkthrough & Aftercare

We clean up, walk the finished space with you, and show you how to care for it. We're not perfect, but we'll always be here when you need us.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to build a custom pool in Phoenix?
Most residential builds run several weeks from excavation through startup, depending on design complexity, permitting, and whether hardscape and landscape are part of the same scope.
Should I build the pool and backyard at the same time?
Whenever budget allows, yes. Doing it together means one round of demolition, shared trenching for utilities, correct deck elevations from the start, and no second mobilization tearing up finished work.
What type of pool holds up best in Arizona?
In-ground concrete shells with pebble or quartz interior finishes are the standard here — durable under extreme heat and UV, with long service intervals.
Do I need a permit to build a pool in Phoenix?
Yes. Pools require permits and barrier compliance inspections in every Valley municipality. We handle permitting and coordinate inspections as part of the project.
Can pools be built year-round in Phoenix?
Yes. The mild winters mean construction runs through the calendar without the seasonal shutdowns other regions deal with.
How much does a custom pool cost in Phoenix?
It varies widely with size, depth, finishes, and features. We provide a detailed written estimate after the on-site design consultation.
