Process questions, answered.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. Contact Agua Vida Pools to schedule a consultation, and our team will discuss your goals, property, preferred pool style, outdoor living needs, and overall project scope. From there, we can determine the next steps for a site visit, proposal, and custom design plan.
What is a typical install timeline?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. A straightforward pool installation may move quickly, while a full backyard transformation with hardscapes, lighting, pool houses, patios, or outdoor living features may take longer. Once design, permitting, and scheduling are complete, many projects are planned around a 4 to 6 week construction timeline.
What kind of pool equipment options do you offer?
Agua Vida Pools offers premium pool equipment options designed for comfort, cleanliness, safety, and convenience. Available features may include UV disinfection, smart pool automation, smartphone controls, salt systems, heating and cooling options, and customizable safety features for families and pets.
What kind of pavers do you use?
Agua Vida Pools uses Cambridge Pavers for pool decks, patios, walkways, and hardscape projects. These pavers offer a durable, attractive surface that helps complete the look and function of a custom outdoor living space.
