“Jason with Silverado Rock Outdoor Living is absolutely the best! He makes sure everything is done right and is in control of the job from start to finish. He makes sure you as a home owner understand everything and every step. We are so happy and grateful that we found him to do our back yard oasis. Thank you Jason for everything!”

“Jason and his crew were a pleasure to work with! The design was beautiful and well thought out. Construction went smoothly. Any issues were resolved promptly and communication from start to finish was smooth. We are very pleased with the end result!”
KEITH MARTIN · Tulsa
“The overall knowledge and experience Jason has of pools far exceeds anyone else I have talked to in the pool business. He came out and went through the whole process with me. The crews paid a lot of attention to all small details. I'm extremely happy with my pool as well as my design and overall layout.”

A vinyl liner is only as smooth as the floor under it. Many builders use a sand floor. Sand can shift and show footprints. Jason builds every floor with vermiculite instead. It sets up firm and smooth, so the liner lays flat and stays flat.
Every pool gets a 28 mil liner from Hydra Pools. You pick the pattern.
Hydra makes 36 mil pet-friendly liners that resist punctures up to 50 pounds.
Oklahoma wind pushes leaves across the water. Jason puts the skimmer on the northwest side, so the wind carries debris to it.
A variable-speed pump runs slow and quiet. At 1,200 RPM, Jason’s pumps draw about 95 watts. See how certified pool pumps compare.
A Silverado vinyl pool takes about 26 days to build. A fiberglass pool takes 4 to 6 weeks, since the shell ships from a factory.
On a slope, the pool can sit partly above grade. A hand-stacked rock wall wraps the raised side and turns the slope into the feature.
Vinyl pools start at $19,999 for the pool only. Finished rock pools start at $64,999.
Get my starting priceEach price below is a starting price. Once Jason quotes your yard, that quote holds. The one exception is buried rock that no one can see until the dig.
Vinyl is the lowest-cost way into an inground pool. The trade is that the liner is a wear part. Here is what that means for you.
Hydra backs its liners with a 20-year prorated warranty against seam separation. Full coverage lasts one year. After that, the coverage shrinks each year.
When the day comes, a liner replacement from Jason runs $5,900 to $9,200. Pool size, liner thickness, and the floor set the price. A floor built on sand or dirt has to be rebuilt with vermiculite first.
If you never want to think about a liner, look at fiberglass pools or gunite pools. Jason builds both and will tell you which one fits.
Vinyl makes sense when you want the most pool for your money and a soft surface under your feet. It does not make sense if a future liner swap would bother you. Both answers are fine. Pick the pool that fits how you think.
| Vinyl liner | Fiberglass | Gunite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $19,999 pool only, or $64,999 finished | $45,000 for a plunge pool | $55,000 plunge, $100,000 full size |
| Build time | About 26 days after permits | 4 to 6 weeks with shell delivery | 3 to 6 months from contract |
| Surface | Soft vinyl | Smooth gel coat | Plaster |
| Shape | Rectangle or freeform | Set by the factory mold | Any shape |
| What wears out | The liner, $5,900 to $9,200 to replace | The gel coat | The plaster surface |
Good vinyl pool builders run a tight schedule. Ours takes about 26 days from dig to swim once permits clear. Permits take one to four weeks, based on your city.
Jason walks your yard and checks slope, soil, and access. He designs the pool and pulls the permit. Before the dig, the crew contacts Okie811 so buried lines get marked.
The crew digs the shape, sets the walls, and runs the plumbing. Then the vermiculite floor goes in, smooth and firm.
The liner goes in and the pool fills. The deck gets poured. Jason starts the equipment and shows you how to run your pool.
Tulsa-area yards bring heavy clay, slopes, and buried rock. A flat yard suits a fully inground pool. A sloped yard often suits a semi-inground pool, where a rock wall turns the slope into the best part of the yard.
Jason pulls the permit in every city below. Each city runs its own review, and each sets its own fence rules. For the federal safety steps every pool owner should know, visit Pool Safely.
What Jason recommends
I'm Jason. I own Silverado Rock, and I'm on every pool we build in the Tulsa metro.
When a family asks me which pool to buy, my answer never changes. Build the pool you want and the yard allows. For a lot of families, that's vinyl. You get the most pool for the money, it's soft under your feet, and it's done in about 26 days.
I build every vinyl floor with vermiculite. On a liner replacement, a sand or dirt floor has to come out before the new liner goes in. I'd rather build yours right the first time.
I'll also tell you straight when vinyl isn't your pool. If a liner swap down the road would bug you, we'll talk fiberglass or gunite instead.

Jason's promise
One owner on your job from the first yard walk to startup day. Every permit handled. A quote that holds unless we hit buried rock.
Straight answers to what Tulsa homeowners ask most.
The OK Plunge starts at $19,999 for the pool only. A finished semi-inground rock pool starts at $64,999. A fully inground vinyl pool also starts at $64,999. Size, decking, and features move the price up. Once Jason quotes your yard, the quote holds. The one exception is buried rock found during the dig.
Jason builds every floor with vermiculite. It sets up firm and smooth, so the liner lays flat. Many builders use sand, which can shift and show footprints. On a liner replacement, a sand or dirt floor has to come out first.
No builder can promise an exact number of years. Water balance, sun, and sharp objects all play a part. Hydra backs its liners with a 20-year prorated warranty against seam separation, with full coverage in year one. Keep your water balanced and the liner will last longer.
The liner is a wear part, so you will replace it someday. Sharp objects and big dogs can puncture it. The water also needs steady care, because poor chemistry can fade or wrinkle the vinyl.
A Tulsa liner replacement from Jason runs $5,900 to $9,200. Pool size, liner thickness, and the floor set the price. If the old floor is sand or dirt, it gets rebuilt with vermiculite before the new liner goes in.
About 26 days once permits clear. Permits take one to four weeks, and each city runs its own process. That makes a vinyl pool faster than a fiberglass pool, which takes 4 to 6 weeks with shell delivery.
Every pool gets a 28 mil Hydra liner. A 36 mil pet-friendly liner is also available. Thicker vinyl resists punctures better. Hydra does not claim it makes the liner last longer.
Yes. Heaters are optional on vinyl builds. Jason installs the Jandy VersaTemp, which can heat or chill the water. The largest model runs about $6,000 installed. Gas heaters are also an option. Silverado Rock does not install solar or electric resistance heaters.
