Pricing Factors
Shell Size & Shape
Larger shells cost more to manufacture, transport, and crane into place. Freeform shapes are more expensive than rectangles.
Site Conditions
Flat, open backyards are straightforward. Slopes, utility lines, and tight access add complexity and cost.
Deck Material
Concrete is the most affordable surround. Pavers, travertine, and porcelain increase cost but add major aesthetic value.
Equipment Upgrades
Variable speed pumps, salt chlorinators, heaters, and smart controls improve efficiency and convenience at added cost.
Water Features
Sheer descents, bubblers, and deck jets add visual drama and soothing sound. Each feature adds to the plumbing and equipment cost.
Retaining Walls
If your yard slopes, a retaining wall may be required to create a flat pool area. This is a common add-on in East Tennessee.
