What we build
What can Saturn Pools do for you?
Four things, done properly, for homeowners across Phoenix. Design first, then construction, then the details that decide how often you actually use the yard.
01 / Design
Custom Pool Design Services
Every Saturn pool starts as a conversation about your yard, not a page from a catalogue. We look at how you actually want to use the space, where the sun lands through the afternoon, how the house opens onto the yard, and what your budget will carry. Then we design around that. One phone call reaches both sales and design, so you are never relaying messages between two departments, and we will tell you honestly what a given shape or feature does to the cost before you commit to it.
+
Shape, depth and size drawn to suit your lot
+
Decking and hardscape laid out with the pool, not after it
+
Interior finish, tile and coping selected together
+
Straight answers on cost tradeoffs while it is still on paper
02 / Construction
New Pool Construction
We build concrete, in-ground pools, which is the most durable shell you can put in Arizona ground. Concrete handles the soil movement and temperature swings of the Sonoran Desert far better than a prefabricated shell, and it lets us build in any shape, depth or size you want. Most projects run 8 to 12 weeks depending on scope, permits, inspections and weather. We pull the permits, prepare the plot plan and schedule the City of Phoenix inspections, including the pre plaster barrier check.

Typically 8 to 12 weeks from ground breaking to first swim
03 / Spas
New Spa Construction
A spa can be raised into the pool as a spillover feature or set on its own as a standalone retreat. Either way it gets designed and poured as part of the same project, so the tile, finish and decking match instead of looking bolted on a year later. We size the plumbing and equipment for the spa from the start, which is what keeps heat up times reasonable and the jets doing what they are supposed to do. In Phoenix a spa is the part of the backyard that earns its keep from October through April.

Plumbing and heating sized for how you will actually use it
04 / Features
Pool Features and Add-ons
This is where a pool stops being a rectangle of water. Water features, fire, lighting, shade and the deck around it all change how often the yard actually gets used, particularly through a Phoenix summer when the comfortable hours are early and late. We will walk you through what each option costs to build and what it costs to run, then build the ones worth having rather than everything on the list.
+
Waterfalls, sheer descents and bubblers
+
Tanning ledges, benches and swim outs
+
Firepits, LED lighting and equipment automation
+
Decking, hardscape and outdoor living space

Designing and building backyards in Phoenix since 2004
Saturn Pools is a family owned pool builder based in Phoenix. We have been designing and constructing here since 2004, and we still run the company the way we did then. The owner stays involved in every job, one phone call reaches both sales and design, and nobody gets handed between departments to get an answer.
Building a pool in Phoenix is a significant long term investment and we treat it that way. We guide clients through every step, from the first design conversation to the final walkthrough, and we stay reachable long after the water goes in. Many of our customers have been with us from the beginning, and most of our new work still arrives through their referrals.

Our Commitment to Quality
The best part of your pool is the part you will never see.
Steel, plumbing and gunite go underground the day after they are inspected. Nobody photographs that part of a build. It is also the part that decides whether your pool still looks right a decade from now. Phoenix makes that harder than most places, because caliche and desert rock turn excavation into real work, and shortcuts taken below grade always surface later.
Waterline
01
Quality over volume
Some pool companies in Phoenix choose quantity. We take on the work we can supervise properly, so nothing gets rushed to clear a schedule.
02
One call, one owner
A single phone call reaches both sales and design. You stay in direct contact with the owner, from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
03
Premium materials
Premium materials and proven construction methods, with the detail work checked at every stage rather than at the end.
04
A warranty that holds
Your Phoenix pool and equipment carry a warranty, reviewed with you directly and backed by each product manufacturer. We still answer after handoff.

Why homeowners choose us
Why Phoenix residents keep sending us their neighbors.
Most of our work arrives by word of mouth, one Phoenix backyard at a time. That only happens when the build goes well and the company is still around afterward to pick up the phone.
01
Two decades of building here
We have been building since 2004, through two decades of Phoenix summers and monsoon seasons. Hundreds of customers later, we still design and construct pools, spas and outdoor spaces the same careful way.
02
Quality before volume
Some pool companies choose quantity. We would rather build fewer pools properly and have every customer fully satisfied with what they end up with.
03
Answers, not a runaround
One call reaches both sales and design. We answer questions as they come up, and we pass along the maintenance habits that actually matter here, like staying ahead of hard water scale on your tile and managing evaporation through a Phoenix summer.
04
We do not disappear
The relationship does not end at handoff. If a question, a concern or a problem comes up months later, we are still at your disposal.

FAQ for Phoenix Residents
Our FAQ section is designed to address the most common questions our Phoenix customers have about building their dream pools. From design options to construction timelines and maintenance tips, we provide clear, helpful answers to ensure you’re fully informed throughout your pool-building journey. Whether you’re curious about the latest technology or want to know how to maximize energy efficiency, our FAQs cover it all.
How much does a concrete Phoenix swimming pool cost?
A pool's price depends on factors like interior and decking materials, equipment, and features such as waterfalls, lighting and firepits. Design, size and amenities all influence the total. Two Phoenix factors move the number as well: how much caliche and rock sits in the excavation, and how much room a crew has to reach the backyard, which is often tight on older lots in Sunnyslope, Encanto and Arcadia. We cannot quote an exact price until we walk the property with you.
Homeowners interested in installing a concrete, in-ground swimming pool should contact Saturn Pool Company. Our experienced team members will schedule a consultation, inspect the location, discuss the options available, and give a price estimate.
How long will my new pool take to build in Phoenix?
Pool projects typically take 8 to 12 weeks. The exact time frame depends on scheduling, the project's scope, permits, inspections, material availability and weather. In Phoenix, monsoon storms between June and September can add days around excavation and gunite, and City of Phoenix inspection scheduling shapes the back half of the build. We can give a more accurate estimate after discussing the project and inspecting the location.
How long will it take to write a quote?
After visiting with the homeowner at the property and discussing the project with them, our team needs a few days to determine the costs and draft a quote. The project’s complexity influences how long the process will take; we must consider all build factors to offer our clients an accurate cost estimate. After the consultation and inspections, the typical quote will take about one to two weeks.
What paperwork is involved?
In-ground pools are subject to zoning and building regulations, so permits must be issued before work begins. For a Phoenix address that means a residential pool and spa permit through City of Phoenix Planning and Development, along with a plot plan showing your barrier and the three foot zoning setback. The barrier is checked at the pre plaster inspection: five feet high measured from the outside, no opening a four inch ball can pass through, and gates that are self closing and self latching. We handle the applications, the plot plan and the inspection scheduling, and we confirm current code on every build.
Is Saturn Pool Company licensed and insured?
Yes, Saturn Pool Company is licensed, bonded, and insured.
What are the advantages of concrete pools over other materials?
Concrete is by far the most reliable pool shell material. It offers strength, resistance, durability and protection, and it handles the soil movement and temperature swings of the Sonoran Desert better than prefabricated shells. Concrete pools are also highly customizable and work well with a variety of features, in any shape, depth and size. That makes it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a custom pool.
Does Saturn Pool Company offer a warranty on a concrete pool?
Saturn Pool Company Phoenix offers a warranty on the pool and equipment we install. Warranties are reviewed with the customer and are backed up by each product manufacturer. We guarantee high-quality installation and exceptional durability. If an issue arises or homeowners have any questions or concerns, we’re always at their disposal and will work to address the concern to the customer’s satisfaction.
