Pool & Spa design and installation. DIY Pool build packages available. We cover all aspects of back yard design including hardscape and landscape.

"We were captivated by the witty website and featured pool projects and then Brian completely sold us on Calif Custom Pools with his willingness to make revisions to our design as we considered all the possibilities. George was a dream to work with—he managed every detail and we had excellent communication at every stage of the process. Every crew that came—from excavation to cement and tile, plumbing and electric, fencing and more—was professional, courteous and respectful. In 30 years of house projects this massive venture was our best experience. They went above and beyond as I also worked with George Sr to do some fencing and painting. I recommend them most highly!"

Swimming pool in ground builds or installations FAQs

A semi-inground pool offers a sweet spot between cost and durability—tougher than an above-ground model yet far less expensive than a full in-ground build. Lifespans range from roughly seven to 75 years, depending on the materials you choose. They’re also a smart choice for challenging sites, such as sloped yards or locations with rock or high groundwater, which can make installing a traditional in-ground pool difficult.

Depending on the build, your timeline can be as short as two days or as long as five weeks. Lowering an existing above-ground pool a few feet takes three to five days. Building a raised in-ground pool with concrete walls and a retaining wall takes several weeks. Remember to factor in contractor schedules and permit approvals—they can tack on a few extra days at either end.

With standard liners, a semi-inground pool lasts seven to 15 years. Upgrade to a concrete shell and you’re looking at up to 75 years of service. As with any pool, top-tier materials and consistent maintenance are the key to achieving long-term durability, allowing you to plan your investment and upkeep with confidence.

Most semi-inground pools fall between three and eight feet deep. Lap pools, for instance, stay around four feet throughout, while family-style models may pair a shallow end with a deeper section. Your liner choice and how much soil you remove ultimately set the depth, and both decisions influence the project’s final price and layout.
