We give you a realistic Utah range early, based on your property, so you can plan around a number that holds. ### Low bids that balloon later Cheap estimates make their margin back through change orders and exclusions. Drainage, haul-off, and restoration do not disappear because a quote left them out. ### Slope, soil, and tight access Wasatch Front lots are rarely flat. Slope, rock, and a narrow side gate change what's buildable and what it costs, so we assess all three before designing anything. ### A pool shell, not a backyard Plenty of projects hand over water surrounded by dirt. We scope decking, grading, drainage, and landscaping alongside the pool so the yard is finished when we leave. ### Utah winters and equipment worry Freeze protection, winterization, and evaporation in dry air are Utah problems that generic national pool advice ignores. We design for them from the start.

Explore this service [Pool Design & Planning →](/pool-design-planning/) How it works ## Our process for Mapleton pool projects Same process everywhere, adjusted for the site conditions we find on your property. 1. 01 ### Consultation & site visit We qualify the project, walk the property, and check grade, soil, access, drainage, and utilities. Budget gets discussed here rather than three meetings in. 2. 02 ### Design & permitting Shape, depth, features, equipment, decking, and drainage are designed together. Permitting requirements vary by city and are verified for your specific property. 3. 03 ### Excavation & structure Dig, benching, material removal, plumbing, steel, then gunite. Electrical and gas coordination happens alongside so nothing waits on a missing trade. 4. 04 ### Finish & handover Coping, decking, interior finish, equipment startup, water balancing, automation programming, final grading and landscaping, then a walkthrough of how to run it. ## Not sure what a Mapleton project should cost?

That usually means good equipment access and room to stage a project, but it also means grade changes that have to be resolved between the house, the pool deck, and the rest of the yard. We evaluate grade, soil, drainage outlets, and utility routing during the site visit, and confirm permitting requirements with Mapleton City for the specific property before design is finalized. Local answers ## Mapleton pool questions ### Do you build pools in Mapleton? Yes. Mapleton is within our south Utah County service area, and acreage lots there are well suited to complete backyard projects that combine the pool with decking, grading, drainage, and landscaping. ### How quickly will I hear back?

We plan the pool, decking, grading, drainage, and planting as one project.
