How We Build

Every Acqua Bella pool, from the ground up.

Ten stages across recent builds in Pasco and Hillsborough County. Every phase inspected, every phase documented.

Pavers staged in driveway for new pool build, Odessa FL
01 Site Prep

Materials staged before the dig.

Pavers, rebar bundles, plumbing supplies delivered the day before excavation. Access paths walked, utilities marked. The quieter the first day, the cleaner the rest of the build.

02 Excavation

Pool and spa shapes cut into the earth.

Surveyed footprint staked, machine digs to over-excavated depth for the rebar cage. Wood bond-beam forms go up on the perimeter. Orange safety fence around the hole at the end of every day.

03 Steel Cage

Rebar tied by hand every 12 inches.

The structural grid that turns a hole in the ground into a swimming pool. Main drains, returns, skimmers and auto-fill lines all roughed in at this stage so they get fully embedded in the shotcrete.

04 Plumbing

Every fitting photographed before it disappears.

PVC stubs come up through the steel for returns, lights, skimmers and auto-fill. We photograph the entire plumbing layout before shotcrete goes over it. If a line ever fails you will know exactly where it runs.

05 Shotcrete

Wet-mix concrete sprayed in one pour.

Not gunite. Shotcrete is wet-mix, applied at pressure, denser and more water-tight. Crew moves around the pool in a continuous loop so there are no cold joints. The shell cures 28 days to full strength.

06 Tile & Coping

Waterline tile set on the bond beam.

Tile and coping meet at the waterline. Setting them during cure keeps the build on one schedule. Client-selected mosaic accents on the spa wall, travertine coping on the perimeter.

Equipment manifold with Jandy valves and PVC plumbing, Trinity FL
07 Equipment

Pentair manifold commissioned.

Jandy valves, IntelliFlo3 pump, salt cell, heater. Every circuit pre-labeled. The equipment pad lives on one side of the house so you are not listening to a pump from your bedroom window.

Paver deck installed around empty pool shell pre-finish, Tampa FL
08 Deck & Prep

Paver deck in, pool ready for interior.

Travertine pavers laid flush to the coping, grades pitched away from the pool for drainage. The shell is acid-washed down to bare concrete in preparation for interior finish.

Crew applying Pebble Sheen interior finish, Tampa Bay FL
09 Pebble Sheen

Interior finish troweled by hand.

Pebble Sheen mixed, troweled, acid-exposed to reveal the polished aggregate. Lifetime manufacturer warranty starts the day the finish cures. Client selected from the full color palette.

10 Handoff
