The Process of Pool Design and Installation

A luxury swimming pool brings with it many benefits like extreme durability, better aesthetics and complete personalization. Whether you’re visualizing a straightforward rectangular pool, a tropical lagoon, a design-centric geometric shape or something even more unique, you’ll find resort quality product and service from Brothers Grimm. In part because our designs include both the in-ground pool as well as the surrounding landscape. The complete landscape is designed together including plants, trees, walkways, slides, fountains and so much more. This allows us to think about views, privacy, lighting and other factors all in the same design.

The process starts with a site meeting where we measure your space and discuss your budget and specific ideas so we can understand exactly what you’re looking for in the design. The next step is creating a concept drawing. We meet with our clients in person – either at our office or at your home – to present full-size prints and color renderings of the proposed design. We also offer 3D renderings for an additional cost. Once the initial design is approved, it usually takes us about 4 to 6 weeks to fully quote and polish the design. At this point, we collect a contract deposit, agree to payment terms, and schedule the project.

There are SO many moving parts to designing and installing a pool landscape. The big difference in working with Brothers Grimm is that we offer turn-key service. While the pool industry severely lacks building standards, we excel with highly trained, specialized subcontractors for our licensed trades. Much like a custom home builder relies on subcontractors for electrical, plumbing, excavation and other specialized elements of the project, so do we. It means you get expertise from many fields, but only have to work with one vendor: us. And like those builders, we always do a spring follow-up for warranty checks so you can have confidence in the install job.
