Custom Residential Pool Construction in South Florida

From your first design consultation to the moment you dive in — FT Pools & Outdoor builds luxury custom pools that are crafted for your lifestyle, your property, and your vision.

Your Dream Pool, Built the Right Way

Building a new pool is one of the most exciting investments you’ll make in your home. At FT Pools & Outdoor, we make the entire process seamless — from custom design and permitting to construction and final walkthrough. Every pool we build is 100% custom, built to last decades, and designed specifically for South Florida living.

We build with premium materials, employ master craftsmen, and assign a dedicated project manager to every job so you always know exactly where your project stands.

Pool Styles We Build

Freeform Pools

The most popular style in South Florida. Organic, natural shapes that flow with your landscaping and create a resort-like feel in your own backyard. Perfect for families and entertainers.

Lap Pools

Sleek, linear pools designed for fitness and function. Perfect for the health-conscious homeowner who wants performance without sacrificing style.

Infinity / Negative Edge Pools

The ultimate luxury statement. The water appears to vanish into the horizon — stunning for waterfront properties or elevated lots with a view.

Resort / Lagoon Style Pools

Go big. Beach entries, grottos, waterfalls, water features, and lush landscaping come together to create your own private resort. For homeowners who want the wow factor.

Cocktail Pools

Smaller footprint, maximum style. Perfect for tighter lots or homeowners who want a stunning plunge and entertainment space without a full-size build.

Premium Materials, Flawless Finishes

How We Build Your Pool

Free Design Consultation

We meet at your property, assess your space, discuss your vision, and walk you through options. No pressure, no obligation.

Custom Design & Proposal

Our design team creates a custom 3D rendering of your pool. You'll see exactly what it looks like before we break ground.

Permitting

We handle 100% of the permitting process with Miami-Dade County. No headaches, no chasing paperwork — we take care of it all.

Excavation & Steel

We break ground, excavate to spec, and install the steel reinforcement framework that forms the backbone of your pool.

Gunite / Fiberglass Shell

The pool shell is formed using your chosen construction method — gunite is sprayed and shaped, or the fiberglass shell is set into place.

Plumbing & Equipment

All plumbing, filtration, pumps, heaters, lighting, and automation systems are installed and tested.

Finishing & Decking

Interior finish is applied — Pebble Tec, quartz, or tile — and your deck, coping, and pavers are installed.

Final Walkthrough & Fill

We fill your pool, balance the water chemistry, walk you through your equipment, and hand over the keys to your new backyard.

How Long Does It Take?

Every pool is custom — so every timeline is different. Factors that affect your build timeline include pool size and complexity, permit processing time with Miami-Dade County, site conditions and access, and your chosen finishes and features.

During your consultation we’ll give you a realistic project timeline based on your specific build. We don’t give cookie-cutter timelines — we give you the real answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build a pool in Miami-Dade County?

Yes — all pool construction in Miami-Dade requires a permit. FT Pools & Outdoor handles the entire permitting process for you.

How much does a custom pool cost in South Florida?

Custom pool pricing varies based on size, style, materials, and features. We provide a detailed, transparent quote after your free consultation — no guesswork.

What's the difference between gunite and fiberglass?

Gunite pools are fully custom in any shape and size, extremely durable, and the most popular choice for luxury builds. Fiberglass pools come in preset shapes, install faster, and have a smooth low-maintenance surface. We’ll help you choose the right option during your consultation.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. We stand behind our work with a structural warranty on all new construction. Details are provided in your project contract.

Can you build a pool on a small lot?

Absolutely — cocktail pools and creative custom designs can work beautifully on tighter properties. We assess every lot individually.
