Woo, pools have gotten expensive! We spent $54k on ours in GA with a pool and spa. I’m sure it’s probably doubled by now. We had unexpected expenses like adding a gas line from our meter which was about $1500 and we had to get a bigger gas meter from the gas company for the heater. My tip to everyone is make sure you register your pool equipment for the warranty, within our first year our pool pump died and was replaced for free!
This video is so good and detailed! Better than the videos I’ve seen from pool construction companies. Awesome job guys, enjoy the new pool - it’s beautiful.
Awesome video…Our pool was completed April of last year. Our initial fantasy budget was $100,000….Final cost:$150,000. Despite that additional cost…We love our outside oasis. Worth every penny. Your pool and everything that you have done to your yard is absolutely amazing.🎉❤
My wife and I love your videos. We appreciate your candor. Sharing the cost of your outdoor oasis is an example of your commitment to sharing valuable information with us viewers. Thanks for demonstrating love, respect, and care for all. Enjoy
Best, most transparent video ever! Thank you for being forthcoming. You likely sold more pools than any other pool builder that hesitates to give this level of detail.
I agree with this whole heartedly. I happen to have a very similar pool like this already in our back yard. I am Going to build myself another pool for my kids to play basketball in and for me to have a spa for my health. Plus I was a Sun ledge are where it is flat and just deep enough to do stretches and such. I want that connected to the spa to heat up. This is going to be something to take care of myself. I also intended to have. Starting budget if $100K. I knew I would likely go over that. Your video helped a ton.
Thank you for your honesty and being candid and detailed! Also the videography and how y’all talk and articulate details is great! That custom made concrete waterfall is so gorgeous. Hope y’all get many decades of enjoyment from this…
I work for a major pool company and the first thing I tell customers when I see they only chose a heat pump is that they may want to consider a heater/chiller instead. Florida gets hot as heck and you’ll be using that chiller WAY more than the heater. Also, your pool looks amazing and that price is amazing as well!!
Thank you so much for your transparency with the cost of your pool and all of the items to take into consideration. I have been planning on putting in a pool, and to hear this it helps in keeping things within a budget. You two are amazing, and love watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for sharing all of this! It’s refreshing to see people share costs and realities of their build experiences. Hope you enjoy all the work you’ve done, it looks absolutely stunning, bravo!!
What a price difference. In 2016 we had a 22,000 gallon pool build at our home in Georgia, with large spa and sun shelf in pool. Our pool is fully automated, dual heaters, auto fill and drain, led lighting, huge paver decking, pebble tec pool finish, fully landscaped surround, etc.. total cost was $114k. Feel like I got a great deal now.
I agree! Prices have definitely gone WAY up! Our tiny pool at our previous home was $26,000! Bare bones and pretty small... but these days it would cost at least $60,000!
What a gorgeous backyard. Money well spent, given you can afford it. (How many people overspend and lose it?) Why be ashamed? It's your home and your life. Your videos are not just entertainment, but do a great service for viewers, whether looking to buy, upgrade or remodel. Isn't this a big part of that? This video is real life, not made up numbers or reality show. Much thanks for sharing this, I, for one, very much appreciate and love it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Your transparency is important. It's very hard to get good numbers. Don't feel bad about the amount you spent, it is so very hard to keep costs down these days. You are doing a service for everyone.
Thank you so much for this!! I've been looking for awhile now, to find a video like this, just to get a current idea for a pool in Florida. Very helpful!!
Nice video & that y'all moved from Virginia to Florida 👍😎👍I moved from Maryland to rural Lafayette Louisiana area. My neighbor had a pool built since 2020 when their house was built. My house was built in 2016 I am the 3rd owner.
Interesting video, my parents have a nice large backyard and never wanted a pool saying the cost and hassle was just too much. I understand now what they meant as $175k pool is about double my house which I bought in 2005. I live in a small house with a verry tiny yard and there is a nice community pool so I have never thought about it personally. Recently, visiting a friend who has a home near Cocoa Beach on a canal close to the ocean put in a partially above ground pool, very nice, added concrete decking around it with nice landscaping. I asked why not an in-ground pool and he said that would have been $70,000+ and I thought he was exaggerating, but now I see he was not. They actually dug down, so a third of the pool is underground and two-thirds above ground. Their pool, concrete decking, landscaping, pumps, extras was all done for about $23,000 and looks great, so you don't have to spend a small fortune to get something you are happy with and enjoy. This is good to know as I search for my next home in 2026. A pool isn't a deal breaker for me but if I see a home that already has a freeform pool at a good price, I now understand the value of having that.
Thank YOU for this Amazing Video!! I LOVE how you did not leave out anything and be transparent !! This helps SO much! We had our pool just built , ours also came to about $155,000 , that is with artificial turf around pool and gazebo from Costco . Great Video wish there were more like this ! It helped a lot !
Beautiful pool and landscape! Compared to prices here in New York I'm actually impressed. Cost of pavers and coping are much more expensive here. Maybe I need to move to Florida!
I’m so thankful my son inlaw has a pool and excavation company , your pool is beautiful enjoy , living here in central Florida is great to enjoy the sunshine
Thank you for a great video with so much information. I had no idea all that went into building a pool. My neighbors here in Los Angeles did a prefabricated one, so a big hole was dug, and a crane came into our cul de sac and popped it in. It was quite a production. Your pool looks fabulous and I'm sure you'll get many years of enjoyment out of it. Worth every penny.
Thank you for the detailed info! My husband and I live in FL and are considering upgrading to an in ground pool (we have an above ground on a low deck currently which is great for now) we appreciate this information 😊
This was incredibly useful! We're installing a 20x40 rectangular pool (plus spa) here in Texas and received a quote of $133K, all-inclusive. It doesn't cover the stunning rock waterfall, but aside from that, and not considering the damages you had to address, our pool design is somewhat simpler. I believe our figures are quite comparable. This video has given me the confidence to proceed. Thanks Amy!
Excellent video, one of best and most informative on internet. You two should do informational videos full time! Built my house in 1994 and added a pool upon completion. It was 16x32 with 6 person jacuzzi, spillway, in ground cleaning system, salt system, 1000sf of decking and a screen room. It cost $22,000! Getting ready to build new house and budgeting $75k, but doing basic small pool and doing rest myself.
Thank you for sharing. I just spent $134K on a Fiberglass Pool and Spa. I did add extras like bubblers, led lights, a cascade waterfall with waterbowls. I thought it may have been too much but after watching your video, it seems about right. Again, Thanks for your transparency! Great Video!😊
Wow! I can see why you had some reservations making this video. You can't take that money with you when you pass away, so enjoy the fruits of your hard work and labor while you can. That is an amazing home and pool you have there in one of the most desirable areas to live in Orlando. I am so proud of you both for all the hard work and deciding to do something for yourselves that you are enjoying most of the year. I consider that a great view by the way. Well done Amy and Eric, loved the total breakdown at the end, as well as the transparancy of the unexpected costs. So glad you got the pool of your dreams. Looking forward to meeting you in a few months. Happy Holidays!💌
This was the conclusion my wife and I came up with when deciding on a pool. Enjoy life while you can, and you can’t take any of the money with you when you leave. It’s an enormous amount of money we are spending, but this is something we’ve been deliberating for years about. Now we are about 6 months away from having a lovely 18x38 concrete pool in our backyard to create lots of family memories. Kudos to you all on designing such a fabulous pool!
Awesome vid and pool! A backyard Oasis just makes your home that much bigger and can generate family and friends your way. Definitely a great way to get everyone together
I appreciate this video so much! I've been trying to find content relating to pool build in Florida and this was it. I've been calling pool companies around the Orlando area and you never know what to expect. I appreciate your insight and transparency!
I am kind of mind blown at the cost nowadays! Had my free form 24000 gallon pool built with a 2800 sqft travertine deck for 84k from Artesian pool in Winter Garden. This was 2017 so different times.
Yea in 2019 I had a 18 x 36 grecian with the top step a 8 ft sun shelf *making total pool 42 ft long, Pavers all around and a cage twice the size a the pool. Total 55K yes I had a heater lights bubblers and streamers. In Punta Gorda. Tropical Pools Great Guy
Gorgeous pool, and yes Everything costs soooo much more in California. Just equipment itself is costing us 22k and its only a 14000 gallon pool with water features and spa . This pool in California right now is about 250k with all the landscaping. So much more expenses we didn't anticipate. So this video is awesome for people looking to build. Its sooo exciting the whole process though. I love it so far. But its pretty pricey for the excitement
One really important thing that is not in the video because we didn't know it yet. We LOOOOVE the pool area so much! We haven't thought about the cost once since we were able to start using it! :)
Thank you for sharing the numbers . ....looking to buy a home and build my backyard oasis in a few years so it helps to have an idea of all the costs involved.
Thanks for sharing all the detailed info and costs. I will soon have a large backyard that needs to be completely landscaped. We will be having a pool and spa put in as well as other elements.
It is absolutely our plan to have a video specifically about the landscaping costs coming soon. It has just been a challenge to find time to get it recorded!
it's beautiful but OUCH!!! that plastic blow-up pool from Walmart and a few cruises around the Mediterranean are looking really lovely right now!!! :-)
Yep! That final number hurt! But in retrospect we'd take the pool over the Mediterranean cruise for this point in our life. We've had some incredible family times around the pool and more to come. We'll try to get to the Med someday! :)
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate the transparency. At least I know now what it takes to get something beautiful like what you have. Congratulations on your beautiful home and pool!
I remember when we bought the first house in Hunters Creek Orlando back in 2001 building a pool was a $10,000 option. What a different world just a few years later. Everything is so overpriced that is not phoney. That $180k is what we paid for the brand new 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath House. Unbelievable!.
Such an amazing pool area that you will enjoy for years to come! You work hard (and smart) and now you can relax well ❤🏡🏊♀ Enjoy!! Thanks for sharing! Love your transparency!
Beautiful pool, everything turned out great. I love the palm trees - they really gives it that Florida vibe. Thanks for sharing (very informative). Cheers-
Thank you sooooo much for sharing , it can be so frustrating trying to google every little detail. Really really appreciate your Transparency, you have no idea how much this helps! Thanks 😊
I’m currently putting in a 32’ x 16’ pool. Atlanta Ga. No spa, nothing fancy. No heat. Flat lot. Concrete decking. We did run into some ground water issues. It’s probably going to end up about $75k. Sticker shock. Things have gotten crazy expensive.
Great video! Thank you for being transparent, love the pool! We are looking at houses at WaterLeigh on Friday. Between Laureate, Oakland Park, and Horizon West-Waterleigh it’s going be be a hard choice. Really feeling the North Haven floor plan.
🙋 You know... I'm here to help! I have a GREAT history in getting the inside scoop at Waterleigh. Call or text me if you'd like me to help you find the perfect home! 407-848-8042 LOOOOOVE the North Haven... but they don't currently have any available under construction. When they DO have some, they will likely be at "highest and best offer" stage... so you definitely want a good strategy!
Thank you so much for sharing! My husband and I love all your videos. When it’s time to get our new home we will try our best to find one with a pool. I had no idea just how much time money and patience going into building a pool of your own. Hope everyone have a blessed day:-)
It SURE did take patience!!! Almost a year from contract to swimming. (And we aren't really swimming yet because it is COOOOLLLLD and we can't use the heater yet!
St. John’s county….16x32, four foot shallow end and six foot deep end with a couple sun shelf extensions to total around 600 sq ft with one bubbler, waterfall walls, planters, electric heater/chiller, full cage, led lights, 650 ft of travertine decking, and some ground work to make it level with the patio so you walk out the back and all on the same level…147k. Includes app to control and it’s a saltwater system.
Wow tfs, I wish people weren't judged so much for what they spend their money on so others would feel more comfortable sharing their cost. I have a pool so I know this was very helpful for people in the market for a new pool. Cheers
It can be hard to convince your own self you are worth spending the money on at times. Growing up super poor certainly doesn’t help. It has taken a bit for me to be ok with spending such a big chunk of money like this to do something for myself. All I ever do is work, and think of work to do, take care of my family and others. Nowadays things cost so much more than just a few years ago. Just to buy a good quality set of pool furniture it cost $17,000. We have so much wind in our area. We are more rural. The wind blows everything into the pool. So I wanted something comfortable and heavy so we no longer pick it out of the pool each day. It ended up being some Amish made heavy resin type furniture. It killed me to buy it. But it truly was the most comfortable set in NFM and definitely the heaviest. Plus it has 20 yr warranty. The quality stuff sure does cost. Comfort and taking care of myself and my family are now my top priorities in life. Success is not worth anything if you can not enjoy it daily.
Great video thank you. Im planning on having a fancy pool built in my garden, I live in Germany and finding someone to build it for me might be difficult as most companies build rectangular pools not free form. I might also go for a large greenhouse over the top to trap the heat as the pool can still be cold in the summer.
i appreciate the behind the scenes commentary on a pool installation . so rare for people to give honest information.
So glad you liked it!
Woo, pools have gotten expensive! We spent $54k on ours in GA with a pool and spa. I’m sure it’s probably doubled by now.

That is a great tip!!!
Have you check houses price out there from 2020 and now? No surprises about pool prices.
So true!
Who did you hire to do the pool?Can you plz share the info?
Who did you use?
This video is so good and detailed! Better than the videos I’ve seen from pool construction companies. Awesome job guys, enjoy the new pool - it’s beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much. Great information!!! We kind of like our pool to feel like bath water though.... LOL.

This video was a 10 out of 10. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for watching and for the lovely comment!
I don’t need a pool but this was a very informative, entertaining and well put together video
Thanks so much!
Thank YOU for this Amazing Video!! I LOVE how you did not leave out anything and be transparent !! This helps SO much! We had our pool just built , ours also came to about $155,000 , that is with artificial turf around pool and gazebo from Costco . Great Video wish there were more like this ! It helped a lot !
This really made our day! I'm so glad the video was helpful. It's pool season! I hope you enjoy your beautiful new pool!
how much does the contractor owner pocket after all expenses paid?
@@u235u235u235 Pool company mark up is around 40 percent. Plus they will always upsale (sorry I mean recommend) more.
Gazebo from
Costco. Wow. Interesting idea. I should look into that.
Beautiful pool and landscape! Compared to prices here in New York I'm actually impressed. Cost of pavers and coping are much more expensive here. Maybe I need to move to Florida!
Maybe you should!!!!
I’m so thankful my son inlaw has a pool and excavation company , your pool is beautiful enjoy , living here in central Florida is great to enjoy the sunshine
Thanks so much!
Thank you for a great video with so much information. I had no idea all that went into building a pool. My neighbors here in Los Angeles did a prefabricated one, so a big hole was dug, and a crane came into our cul de sac and popped it in. It was quite a production. Your pool looks fabulous and I'm sure you'll get many years of enjoyment out of it. Worth every penny.
Thank you so much! and thanks for watching!
This was so helpful, thank you!
You're so welcome!
I want to thank you both for your information and transparency. I wish everyone would be so open and clear with information that can help others.
You are very welcome!
Thank you for the detailed info! My husband and I live in FL and are considering upgrading to an in ground pool (we have an above ground on a low deck currently which is great for now) we appreciate this information 😊
So glad it was useful!
This was incredibly useful! We're installing a 20x40 rectangular pool (plus spa) here in Texas and received a quote of $133K, all-inclusive. It doesn't cover the stunning rock waterfall, but aside from that, and not considering the damages you had to address, our pool design is somewhat simpler. I believe our figures are quite comparable. This video has given me the confidence to proceed. Thanks Amy!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much!
Beautiful pool. Congratulations and enjoy. Thank you for being transparent.
Excellent video, one of best and most informative on internet. You two should do informational videos full time! Built my house in 1994 and added a pool upon completion. It was 16x32 with 6 person jacuzzi, spillway, in ground cleaning system, salt system, 1000sf of decking and a screen room. It cost $22,000! Getting ready to build new house and budgeting $75k, but doing basic small pool and doing rest myself.
Thank you for the kind words! And WOW on that price!!! Definitely can save some money with the do it yourself stuff!
You guys are amazing, I loved hearing all this, it will help us decide if we should do this, thank you so much!
Thanks for the lovely comment!
Thank you for sharing. I just spent $134K on a Fiberglass Pool and Spa. I did add extras like bubblers, led lights, a cascade waterfall with waterbowls. I thought it may have been too much but after watching your video, it seems about right. Again, Thanks for your transparency! Great Video!😊
Thanks for sharing! Yes, it sounds like you paid about what things cost these days!
Wow! I can see why you had some reservations making this video. You can't take that money with you when you pass away, so enjoy the fruits of your hard work and labor while you can.

Totally appreciate your honesty. I need that to keep me grounded about the money I'm going to spend on our pool area. THANKS FOR SHARING!
Amazing video guys. This is sooo helpful to someone like me who is considering building a pool in South Florida. Much appreciated!
Our pleasure!
Thanks for sharing all the costs . A real , authentic “eye” opener ! You will enjoy it for years ❤
Thanks so much!
Thank you for being transparent on the costs! This information is very valuable to those of us shopping and learning about the process 💚
You are very welcome!
I appreciate this video so much! I've been trying to find content relating to pool build in Florida and this was it. I've been calling pool companies around the Orlando area and you never know what to expect. I appreciate your insight and transparency!
Glad it was helpful! That's why we did it!!!

Yes! It has (like everything) gotten pretty crazy. Our very small freeform pool in 2014 was $24,000 including a screen!

Great video and thank you for breaking down the cost the way you all did. This is by far the best video of what it cost to build a pool.
So glad you liked it!

Excellent video. This video was extremely helpful and smooth. Nicely done, so glad you did it so thank you.
Thx for sharing the ins and outs of building,looks beautiful wishing many years of enjoyment 👍🍀🎄
Thank you so much!
Just what I was looking for. Outstanding review. Honesty with the process and adding the cost so one cN have an idea was great. Thank you
AMAZING VIDEO, AMAZING FORMAT. This is how a TH-cam video should be done. great layout. very informative! chef's kiss
Wow, thanks!
Thank you for sharing the numbers . ....looking to buy a home and build my backyard oasis in a few years so it helps to have an idea of all the costs involved.
Thanks for sharing all the detailed info and costs. I will soon have a large backyard that needs to be completely landscaped. We will be having a pool and spa put in as well as other elements.
It is absolutely our plan to have a video specifically about the landscaping costs coming soon. It has just been a challenge to find time to get it recorded!
Thank you for sharing! I just bought a house with a pool similar to yours. Now I’m thankful it’s there!!😃🌴🌴
Wonderful! Congratulations. Enjoy the warm weather in your new pool!
Excellent video! Very very well made ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
This is gorgeous and well deserved! Enjoy!❤
Thank you so much!!
Fabulous video, very informative and very much needed on my end. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Your honesty and information and the way you presented it truly professional enjoy your pool!!!
Thank you so much 😊
it's beautiful but OUCH!!! that plastic blow-up pool from Walmart and a few cruises around the Mediterranean are looking really lovely right now!!!
:-)
Yep! That final number hurt! But in retrospect we'd take the pool over the Mediterranean cruise for this point in our life. We've had some incredible family times around the pool and more to come. We'll try to get to the Med someday! :)
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate the transparency. At least I know now what it takes to get something beautiful like what you have. Congratulations on your beautiful home and pool!
Thanks so much!
This information is very very helpful. Thank you for sharing it. We are seriously considering building a pool in our backyard.
You are very welcome!
Wow thank you for the information- and you have very good presentation/speaking skills.
I remember when we bought the first house in Hunters Creek Orlando back in 2001 building a pool was a $10,000 option. What a different world just a few years later. Everything is so overpriced that is not phoney. That $180k is what we paid for the brand new 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath House. Unbelievable!.
Our pool at our first home here was VERY small and very basic... and was a builder option for $25,000. We feel it too!
Great pool and thanks for sharing your experience of building the pool!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Best Pool Video i have seen. Thank you for being transparent with the cost. Very refreshing to to see and the information is very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!

You are so welcome
I’m currently putting in a 32’ x 16’ pool. Atlanta Ga. No spa, nothing fancy. No heat. Flat lot. Concrete decking. We did run into some ground water issues. It’s probably going to end up about $75k. Sticker shock.
Things have gotten crazy expensive.
I appreciate your video very much. I am about to build a pool and this was so helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
thank you for sharing. This video was so helpful! It is beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing.

Hi is Lori over here in PA love watching your videos I love that house it's so beautiful
Great video! Thank you for being transparent, love the pool! We are looking at houses at WaterLeigh on Friday. Between Laureate, Oakland Park, and Horizon West-Waterleigh it’s going be be a hard choice. Really feeling the North Haven floor plan.
🙋 You know... I'm here to help! I have a GREAT history in getting the inside scoop at Waterleigh. Call or text me if you'd like me to help you find the perfect home! 407-848-8042 LOOOOOVE the North Haven... but they don't currently have any available under construction. When they DO have some, they will likely be at "highest and best offer" stage... so you definitely want a good strategy!
Thank you so much for all the information. Enjoy your pool! its beautiful
Thank you so much!!!
The best perfect informative video divided into 5 segments 🤔
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful as we research pool options! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Stunning pool. You did it just the way I would given the space available.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing! My husband and I love all your videos. When it’s time to get our new home we will try our best to find one with a pool. I had no idea just how much time money and patience going into building a pool of your own. Hope everyone have a blessed day:-)
It SURE did take patience!!! Almost a year from contract to swimming. (And we aren't really swimming yet because it is COOOOLLLLD and we can't use the heater yet!
We arwe about to start our pool. Very helpful, thanks, BTW my Wife is also a realtor.
Best of luck!
St. John’s county….16x32, four foot shallow end and six foot deep end with a couple sun shelf extensions to total around 600 sq ft with one bubbler, waterfall walls, planters, electric heater/chiller, full cage, led lights, 650 ft of travertine decking, and some ground work to make it level with the patio so you walk out the back and all on the same level…147k. Includes app to control and it’s a saltwater system.
Thanks for the info! That is helpful and sounds beautiful!!! Six foot deep end is rare for Florida (and fantastic!)
I greatly appreciate your transparency
Thanks! That's what we are here for!
Wow tfs, I wish people weren't judged so much for what they spend their money on so others would feel more comfortable sharing their cost. I have a pool so I know this was very helpful for people in the market for a new pool.
Cheers
Thanks so much!
It can be hard to convince your own self you are worth spending the money on at times. Growing up super poor certainly doesn’t help.
It has taken a bit for me to be ok with spending such a big chunk of money like this to do something for myself. All I ever do is work, and think of work to do, take care of my family and others.
Nowadays things cost so much more than just a few years ago. Just to buy a good quality set of pool furniture it cost $17,000. We have so much wind in our area. We are more rural. The wind blows everything into the pool. So I wanted something comfortable and heavy so we no longer pick it out of the pool each day. It ended up being some Amish made heavy resin type furniture. It killed me to buy it. But it truly was the most comfortable set in NFM and definitely the heaviest. Plus it has 20 yr warranty. The quality stuff sure does cost.
Comfort and taking care of myself and my family are now my top priorities in life. Success is not worth anything if you can not enjoy it daily.
Incredibly helpful video. Well thought out and greatly appreciated! I'm in Ocoee and we are looking at pool options as well.
Glad we could help! Our Pool Company was Pools By Bradley… Jake was our designer and designed just what we wanted!!!
Thank you for sharing your amazing pool project with us and sharing the honest cost.
You are very welcome.
This was amazing and very well detailed.
Can you do more videos, giving us updates such as the cost to maintain it, electricity costs, etc
we are absolutely planning on it! Coming soon, we promise!
Great video thank you. Im planning on having a fancy pool built in my garden, I live in Germany and finding someone to build it for me might be difficult as most companies build rectangular pools not free form. I might also go for a large greenhouse over the top to trap the heat as the pool can still be cold in the summer.
Very informative thank you all for sharing it is absolutely beautiful
Our pleasure!
