Our Pool Construction Process

Every Silverado Rock pool starts where it matters most — in your Tulsa backyard. We walk the site ourselves, design around your yard's natural grade, and stay on the job from excavation to final walkthrough. Our specialty is the rock work: natural stone surrounds, hand-stacked waterfalls, and custom coping that make a pool feel like it belongs in your yard rather than being dropped into it. Seven steps, one crew, no subcontracted surprises.

Step 1

Site Eval & Backyard

We visit your home to analyze the backyard and identify any construction challenges. This includes determining yard access, slope, drainage conditions, utility locations, property boundaries, easements, fencing requirements, and possible equipment placement.

This helps us design a pool that fits your yard, meets local requirements, and avoids costly surprises during construction.

Step 2

Design and Planning

After the site evaluation, the pool design is created around your yard, goals, and budget.

This includes choosing the pool size, shape, depth, features, finishes, decking, lighting, spa options, water features, and outdoor living upgrades.

Step 3

Permits and Approvals

Once the design is finalized, your builder submits the plans for required permits and approvals.

This may include building, electrical, plumbing, grading, drainage, barrier, and HOA approvals.

Step 4

Layout and Excavation

After approvals are complete, the pool is marked in the yard and excavation begins.

The crew digs the pool according to the approved design and prepares the site for construction.

Step 5

Plumbing, Steel, and Electrical

The pool's main structural and mechanical systems are installed.

This includes plumbing for skimmers, main drains, return jets, water features, and equipment — plus steel reinforcement and electrical bonding, lighting, and equipment power.

Step 6

Pool Shell, Equipment, and Finishes

The pool structure is built, equipment is installed, and finish work begins.

This stage may include the gunite or shotcrete shell, tile, coping, decking, plaster, pebble, quartz, pump, filter, heater, salt system, and automation.

Step 7

Startup, Inspection, and Pool School

Once the pool is filled, the equipment is started, water chemistry is balanced, inspections are completed, and the homeowner is shown how to operate and maintain the pool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything Tulsa homeowners ask before building their pool — answered straight, no sales pitch.

On average, a custom gunite pool takes 8 to 12 weeks once we break ground. However, you should factor in an additional 3 to 4 weeks for the design phase and the City of Tulsa permitting process. If you want to be swimming by Memorial Day, we recommend starting your design consultations in January or February.

While we build year-round, Fall and Winter are the most strategic times. Building in the off-season allows the ground to settle and your landscaping to be installed and established before the Oklahoma summer heat hits. Plus, you'll avoid the Spring Rush and ensure your pool is ready for the first heatwave.

Yes. Whether you are in Tulsa, Jenks, Bixby, or Broken Arrow, a building permit is required. We handle the entire permitting process for you, including zoning clearances and coordinating with the Tulsa Permit Center to ensure your pool meets all local safety codes and setback requirements.

In 2026, most high-quality custom gunite pools in the Tulsa area range from $50,000 to $120,000+. Factors that influence the price include the size of the pool, the complexity of the site (such as Tulsa's rocky or clay-heavy soil), and luxury add-ons like integrated spas, tanning ledges, and outdoor kitchens.

Yes. We build fiberglass, gunite (shotcrete), and vinyl liner pools throughout the Tulsa area. Fiberglass pools are factory-molded shells installed in as little as one to two weeks and require less chemical maintenance than gunite. They're a great choice for Tulsa homeowners who want a faster installation and a smooth, algae-resistant surface.

Gunite pools are custom-shaped, concrete-based shells sprayed on-site — the most durable and fully customizable option, and ideal for Tulsa's clay-heavy and rocky soil. Fiberglass pools are pre-molded shells set into the ground in days, offering low maintenance and a smooth interior. Vinyl liner pools use a steel or polymer frame with a replaceable liner and typically have the lowest upfront cost. We build all three and will help you choose the right fit for your yard, timeline, and budget.

For most Tulsa-area homeowners who want full design freedom and long-term durability in Oklahoma's freeze-thaw climate, gunite is our top recommendation. Fiberglass is an excellent option if you want a faster build and lower chemical maintenance. Vinyl liner pools offer the most affordable entry point but require liner replacements every 7 to 12 years. We'll walk you through the trade-offs in detail during your free site consultation.

Absolutely. In our local market, a well-designed outdoor living space is a major selling point. While the exact ROI varies, a professional inground pool typically adds 7% to 15% to a home's resale value in the Tulsa suburbs — not to mention the lifestyle value for your family.

You have two choices: winterizing (closing the pool, blowing out the lines, and covering it) or winter circulation. Most of our clients prefer installing freeze sensors. These automatically turn on your pumps when temperatures drop below freezing, keeping the water moving so it won't freeze in your pipes.

Saltwater systems are very popular here because they are gentler on the skin and eyes during the hot July and August months. While the initial equipment cost is slightly higher, they are generally easier to maintain than traditional chlorine pools and don't require hauling heavy buckets of tabs in the summer heat.

Yes! Many properties in areas like Sand Springs or South Tulsa have significant slopes. We specialize in engineered retaining walls and infinity-edge designs that turn a difficult backyard into a multi-level masterpiece.

Our clients are currently gravitating toward Organic Luxury — tanning ledges (Baja shelves) for umbrellas, natural stone waterfalls using local Oklahoma boulders, and integrated fire pits that allow you to enjoy the backyard well into the Fall.

Yes. Oklahoma building codes and insurance requirements mandate a safety barrier — typically a fence at least 4 to 5 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates. We can integrate high-end ornamental iron or glass fencing into your design so it provides safety without blocking your view.
