What a pool costs
A plain 12 × 24 ft pool with a concrete deck starts around $51,000, a 20 × 40 ft pool around $100,000. Steps, a sun shelf, a spa, a heater or a stone deck add to that; the tables list what each one costs.
Every price on this site is a range. The low end is our sample price list applied to your design; the high end is 12% above it, because no two yards are the same until we have walked them. It includes excavation, permits, plumbing, the pump and filter, the shell, coping, deck and lights. The site work alone is $20,000.
What changes it after the site visit
- Rock under the topsoil that needs a breaker.
- Tight access for the excavator, or dirt that has to be hauled away.
- A slope that needs a retaining wall or drainage.
- A new electrical panel or a long gas line for a heater.
- The pool fence your city requires, which we quote separately.
