Pool Construction Process

From Design to Dive-In

Every project starts with understanding your space and vision. We visit your property to assess soil conditions, discuss design options, and explain the permitting process specific to South Hempstead.

Once permits are secured, excavation begins. This is where local expertise matters—Long Island’s sandy soil requires specific techniques and equipment. We handle everything from utility marking to proper excavation depth and grading.

Construction follows a systematic approach: steel reinforcement, plumbing installation, electrical work, and concrete application. Each phase requires municipal inspection before moving forward. Finally, decking, coping, and any water features are installed before the final inspection and startup.

Most custom inground pools in South Hempstead take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion, assuming normal weather conditions. However, the permitting process can add 2-4 weeks before construction begins. Nassau County requires specific approvals and inspections that can’t be rushed. Weather delays during concrete work or finishing phases can extend timelines, especially during spring and fall seasons. JAS Aquatics provides realistic timelines upfront and keeps you updated throughout the process, so you know exactly where your project stands.
South Hempstead pool construction requires a building permit from Nassau County, which includes structural, plumbing, and electrical approvals. You’ll also need to comply with setback requirements, which typically require pools to be at least 10 feet from property lines. Some properties may need additional approvals for drainage or if you’re in a flood zone. The permit process includes plan review, multiple inspections during construction, and final approval before you can use the pool. JAS Aquatics handles all permit applications and coordinates required inspections to keep your project moving forward.
Custom inground pools in South Hempstead typically range from $40,000 to $80,000, depending on size, depth, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start around $40,000, while custom shapes with water features, upgraded decking, and lighting can reach $80,000 or more. Factors affecting cost include excavation complexity, soil conditions, permit fees, and finish selections. JAS Aquatics provides detailed written estimates that break down all costs, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for without surprises during construction.
Long Island’s sandy soil and high water table create unique construction challenges. The sandy soil requires specialized excavation techniques and proper drainage systems to prevent settling or shifting. High water tables mean dealing with groundwater during excavation, which requires pumping and proper waterproofing. Nassau County also has strict building codes and inspection requirements that many contractors from other areas don’t understand. Weather constraints limit construction seasons, and salt air from nearby ocean affects material selection. JAS Aquatics has extensive experience with these local conditions and knows how to build pools that last in the Long Island environment.
JAS Aquatics provides complete startup service including water chemistry balancing, equipment operation training, and initial maintenance guidance. We’ll teach you proper chemical levels, filtration system operation, and seasonal maintenance requirements.

We also provide warranty support for any construction-related issues that might arise. The goal is ensuring you’re completely comfortable operating your new pool and know who to call if you need help.
