Transform Your Backyard Into a Permanent Oasis

Inground Pool Installation Dallas PA

Concrete inground pool installation creates a permanent extension of your home, not a temporary addition that looks out of place. When you choose concrete over fiberglass or vinyl, you’re investing in a pool that becomes an architectural feature of your property.

SpringLake Pools & Masonry has completed inground pool installations throughout Dallas, PA and surrounding areas since 2007. We specialize in concrete pools because they offer something fiberglass and vinyl pools can’t – true customization and permanent beauty that lasts for generations.

Why Choose Concrete for Your Inground Pool Installation?

Concrete pools are built to be permanent fixtures in your backyard landscape. When we excavate your pool, we’re not just digging a hole – we’re creating the foundation for a backyard feature that will outlast your mortgage.

The difference is immediately obvious when you see concrete pools next to other types. Fiberglass pools look like oversized bathtubs dropped into the ground. Vinyl liner pools sag and wrinkle over time. Concrete pools look intentional, architectural, and built to last.

50+ year lifespan with basic maintenance vs vinyl liners that need replacement every 8-10 years
Complete design freedom – build around mature trees, steep slopes, and existing landscaping
Custom features like beach entries, integrated spas, and overflow designs
Architectural integration with stone walls, fire features, and outdoor kitchens through our masonry expertise
No cookie-cutter limitations – every pool shape is custom designed for your specific lot

Want kidney shapes, geometric designs, or flowing organic curves? Concrete makes any vision possible. Our masonry background gives us another advantage – we integrate features that look planned and permanent, not like separate projects added over time.

Longevity That Makes Financial Sense

Building your concrete pool takes 6-8 weeks from start to finish. Weather can affect timing, but we work year-round in Pennsylvania. Winter installation means your pool is ready for spring swimming.

Weeks 1-2: Excavation and Permits
We handle all township permits and paperwork. Excavation reveals your property’s unique challenges – rocky soil, clay deposits, or steep slopes that require specialized equipment and techniques.

Weeks 3-4: Steel and Plumbing
Steel reinforcement framework provides structural strength. We use extra steel for Pennsylvania freeze-thaw cycles. All plumbing lines are installed before concrete application.

Weeks 5-6: Concrete Application
Gunite or shotcrete creates your pool shell in one day. Weather must be perfect – no rain or extreme temperatures. Concrete cures over several days with careful monitoring.

Weeks 7-8: Finishing and Startup
Plaster, tile, and coping installation complete your pool. Final startup includes filling, equipment commissioning, and water balancing. Your pool is swim-ready when we leave.

Investment and Long-Term Value

Concrete inground pool installation represents a significant home improvement investment. Most clients spend between the cost of a luxury car and a small home addition, depending on size, features, and site conditions.

Key Investment Factors:

Pool size and depth – larger pools require more materials and labor
Site conditions – rocky soil, steep slopes, and difficult access increase costs
Design complexity – simple shapes cost less than elaborate curved designs
Special features – waterfalls, lighting, and architectural elements add value

Long-Term Financial Benefits
The major advantage is permanence. Your concrete shell never needs replacement – just resurfacing every 15-20 years. Vinyl liner pools need new liners every 8-10 years at $4,000-$6,000 each time.

Quality pools add 60-70% of their cost to home value. In desirable areas like Back Mountain and Clarks Summit, pools often add their full cost to property value.
