Inground pool installation begins with excavation, but success depends on what happens before and after that stage. HDT Pools has handled inground pool installation as a Boise-based swimming pool contractor since 1978.
What Inground Pool Installation Involves
Site evaluation, utility clearance, excavation, structural reinforcement, shell construction, plumbing, equipment setup, decking, and final inspection — each phase sequenced properly.
Types of Inground Pools
Reinforced concrete (gunite or shotcrete) offers full flexibility in shape and reinforcement. Fiberglass pools are preformed shells with limited design flexibility but efficient installation when site prep is correct.
Important Considerations Before Excavation
Property grading, utility conflicts, yard access, drainage planning, and permit coordination should be addressed before excavation begins.
