What It Covers

Custom Pool Construction Built Around How You Live

A pool is the biggest thing most families will ever add to their home. It should be designed for your yard, built by people who answer the phone, and priced line by line.

Pool construction is everything between the first sketch and the first swim: design, permitting, excavation, steel, plumbing, shotcrete, tile, deck, equipment, finish, and startup. One project manager oversees all of it and checks each phase before the next begins. Call (941) 320-3878 to schedule a free 3D design consultation.

Quick answer

Shotcrete gives you any shape and the longest life, and it is the only way we build. We will design it around your yard and your budget.

Good to know

Most Sarasota lots with a high water table favor shotcrete. We check that at the free site walk before you pick.

Good to Know

Pool Building Questions, Answered Straight

The things Sarasota homeowners ask us most before they build. Don’t see yours? Call and a project manager will answer it.

01

How long does it take to build a pool?

It depends on permitting, weather, and scope, and we give you a realistic schedule in writing at signing. A pool build takes 12–14 weeks. Outdoor kitchens and covers add time.

02

Is the 3D design really free?

Yes. We walk your yard, build a 3D model, and revise it with you at no charge and no obligation. The design becomes the basis for your itemized price if you decide to build with us.

03

Will the price change during the build?

Not without your signature. Your agreement lists every line item. If you ask for a change, or excavation turns up something no one could see, like muck or a high water table, we agree the cost with you in writing before that work starts.

04

Who is actually on my jobsite?

Skilled specialty trades do the excavation, steel, plumbing, shotcrete, tile, deck, and equipment work. One Little Coconut project manager runs the build from start to finish and checks every step on site.

05

Do you handle permits and HOA approval?

Yes. We prepare the drawings, pull the county permits, schedule inspections, and assist with your HOA approval if you have one.

06

What does the warranty cover?

The structural shell carries a limited lifetime warranty for as long as you own the home. Plumbing, electrical, and equipment are covered for set terms, all in writing. See our Warranty page for the full terms.

07

Why do you only build shotcrete?

Shotcrete gives you any shape and the longest life. It is the one way we build, so every crew, every phase and every inspection is focused on doing it right.
