Your Swimming Pool Installation Journey Starts Here
Creating a custom swimming pool should be exciting—not overwhelming.

Along the way, we'll help you understand your options, make informed decisions and create a space that feels completely your own.
We want to help you build Your Serene Life
A Better Way to Build Your Backyard
Every great backyard begins with a vision.
Maybe you know exactly what you want.
Maybe you have a collection of ideas, inspiration photos and features you love—but aren't quite sure how they all come together.
That's where we come in.
Our process is designed to turn those ideas into a thoughtful, cohesive design while keeping you informed along the way.
From the first consultation to the final details, our goal is simple: Create a beautiful backyard that works for your life, your home and the way you want to enjoy it.
The Southern Serenity Process
A clear process creates a better experience. While every project is unique, here's what you can generally expect when you work with Southern Serenity Pools.
-
It all begins with getting to know you.
We'll talk about your backyard, your vision, how you want to use the space and the features that matter most to you.
We'll also discuss your property, project goals and budget so we can begin creating a realistic path forward.
-
This is where ideas begin to take shape.
We'll develop a custom design based on your home, property and lifestyle, thoughtfully considering the pool, spa, outdoor living areas, features, finishes and surrounding environment.
The goal isn't simply to design a beautiful pool.
It's to design the right backyard for you.
-
Details matter.
Once the design begins to come together, we'll work through the details that turn the vision into a build plan.
Materials, finishes, features and construction considerations are carefully coordinated so you know what you're getting before construction begins.
Clear communication at this stage helps create a smoother experience throughout the project.
-
Your Backyard Takes Shape.
Now the vision becomes real.
Our team moves into construction, bringing the design to life through skilled craftsmanship and careful attention to detail.
From excavation and structural work to finishes, features and surrounding spaces, each phase builds toward the finished retreat you've envisioned.
-
The Details Come Together.
As construction nears completion, often in as little as FOUR WEEKS, the finishing touches begin to transform the space.
Tile. Coping. Decking. Lighting. Water features. Landscaping. Outdoor living details.
It's these elements that give your backyard its personality and make the finished space feel like it truly belongs to your home.
-
Your Retreat Is Ready.
The construction is complete.
The water is sparkling.
The lights are glowing.
And it's finally time to enjoy what you've created.
Whether it's a quiet morning swim, an afternoon with family or an evening spent around the fire, your backyard is ready to become part of everyday life.
Your Backyard. Your Retreat. Your Serene Life.
PLANNING YOUR INVESTMENT
It's one of the first questions almost every homeowner has—and it's an important one.
The truth is, there isn't a single price for a custom pool.
Every Southern Serenity Pools project is different, and the investment depends on the size and shape of the pool, site conditions, materials, finishes, features and the overall scope of the backyard.
Our builds start at $80,000, but a simple pool and a complete outdoor retreat can be dramatically different projects. That's why we believe the best place to start isn't with a generic price.
We start with your vision.
What Does A Custom Pool Cost?
What Goes Into the Investment?

Pool Design
Size, shape, depth and overall configuration all play a role in the investment.

Waterfalls, bubblers, sheer descents and spillovers can add movement, sound and visual interest.
