Custom Pool Construction Tailored To Fort Lauderdale Homes
Swimming Pools of Florida builds custom pools throughout Fort Lauderdale. Each backyard is unique, so we never hand homeowners a catalog of fixed layouts. Design starts with how you’ll actually use the space, then we carry that same design through permitting, construction, and the final walkthrough ourselves, in-house, start to finish.
Before construction begins, pool dimensions and depths are documented clearly, so there’s no confusion about what’s being built once excavation starts. We also aim to keep pricing straightforward from the initial quote through completion, so you know what to expect as the project moves forward. You’re dealing with one team the whole way, not a handoff between a sales rep and a separate crew.
Why Our Pool Builders Fort Lauderdale Design Process Stands Out
When you work with us, every single layout is sketched from scratch around your actual backyard dimensions and how your family intends to use the space.
No Generic Templates: We map your property lines first so the pool shape fits naturally without awkward dead zones.
Tying Into Your Home: Our crew matches coping, modern pavers, and waterline tiles right to your existing architecture so the whole setup looks unified.
Maximizing Backyard Flow: Whether it is positioning a tanning ledge, spacing out the spa, or linking your patio, we make sure traffic moves easily.
Made for South Florida Weather: Every custom pool we build in South Florida, is reinforced to take heavy downpours and blazing sun year after year.

Pool Builders Fort Lauderdale — Our Process
Design & Permitting
Finalizing the pool design and engineering plans, handling city permits & inspections before excavation begins.
Site Preparation
Once permits are clear, we excavate the site and begin forming the pool’s structure. Pre-plumbing is installed at this stage, with inspections built in before moving forward.
Structural Construction
Shotcrete shapes the pool shell, followed by backfilling, plumbing, and electrical conduit runs. Tile and coping installation come next, with inspections to confirm the work meets code.
Deck, Equipment & Final Prep
We install the deck, pool barrier, and equipment, complete electrical hookup, and clean the site followed by a walk-through.
Plaster & Start Up
We apply plaster, start up the system, and complete a final inspection before handing over your finished pool.
Building A Pool Around Your Existing Fort Lauderdale Home
Building close to an existing home structure takes more care than working with a blank lot, especially given Fort Lauderdale’s mix of older homes, mature landscaping, and tighter lot lines. We map out grading and utility lines first, then lock in setback distances so nothing gets overlooked. Missing this step can put the foundation, the plumbing, or the hardscape already there at risk once excavation starts.
Equipment and timing get planned around your yard, not some standard schedule that ignores what’s actually there. We handle Broward County’s permitting requirements right alongside the physical work, so one doesn’t stall the other. What you end up with is a pool that fits the space without touching anything it shouldn’t.

FAQs
Do you serve Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. We construct custom pools throughout Fort Lauderdale. Give us a call to talk about your pool building needs.
Do you handle the permitting process for me?
Yes. Permitting and engineering plans are part of our standard pool construction process for every project, handled alongside design before construction begins.
Do you offer financing for pool construction in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, we do. We partner with Lyon Financial and HFS Financial to offer flexible pool loan options, so you can finance your project instead of paying the full cost upfront.
How long does it take to build a pool in Fort Lauderdale?
Most pool builds in Fort Lauderdale take 8 to 12 weeks from signed contract to final walkthrough, covering design and permitting, excavation, structural construction, and final startup. Permitting timelines and design complexity are the two biggest factors that can extend that window.
How do soil, drainage, and water conditions affect pool construction in Fort Lauderdale?
Ground conditions in South Florida aren’t the same everywhere. Sandy soil, limestone underneath, and a water table that sits higher than in a lot of places, all of it plays into how excavation and drainage get planned out. It’s just part of what building a pool in this region involves, and it’s factored in like any other part of the process.
