Construction Process

STEP 1: DESIGN PROCESS. In the design process, we gather information about your specific needs. We ask questions about how you will use the pool and how you want it to look. We'll also gather information about the site itself. Then we incorporate your specifications into a custom pool or spa design.
 
STEP 2: PERMITS. Natural Hot Springs Pool & Spa adheres to all local building codes. After you have approved the design, we take the plans to the Building Department to obtain the permits required to build the pool or spa.
 
STEP 3: SITE PREPARATION. With permits in hand, we begin to excavate the site. Once that is completed, we install the reinforcing steel (or rebar) and the plumbing and electrical systems. Your pool is beginning to take shape!
 
STEP 4: SHOTCRETE. The next step is to spray concrete (called shotcrete because it doesn't require forms) at high pressure onto the structural framework. We then sculpt that substance by hand to form the pool and wait for it to cure. Special features (such as rock waterfalls) are built at this point.
 
STEP 5: DECKING AND TILE. After the shotcrete has cured, we install the decking and tile you selected.
 
STEP 6: PLASTER. Applying plaster is the final stage of building a swimming pool or spa. (Plaster is available in many colors for you to choose from.)
 
STEP 7: FUN. Once construction is finished, it's time to fill the pool. You can step back and enjoy the view of your dream come true - and then call your friends to join you for a swim in the pool or a soak in the spa. Surf's up!
