The Best Pool Construction for You?

When it comes to building a pool there are a lot of options to be considered. Most local commercial pools are inground, but what type of finishing will you choose? What type of lining?

If you’re a homeowner, the aboveground pool is also an option. What will look best in your backyard?

Inground Pool Installation

Inground pools are a classic. While on the pricier end of the spectrum, they are a very worthwhile investment that will give you years of enjoyment as well as raise the value of your property.

Inground pools are most commonly constructed of:

  • Gunite
  • Poured concrete
  • Fiberglass

And, they can be lined with vinyl and finished off with plaster, tile, stone, or man-made textures.

Aboveground Pool Installation

Many homeowners think they can install an aboveground pool themselves. But this is not the case. Constructing the walls and leveling the ground to ensure your pool is safe and durable should always be done by a professional team such as the one at Aqua Escapes, Inc..

These pools are available for a fraction of a cost of inground pools, but aren’t as permanent and have less options for customization.

Commercial or Residential Pool Contractors

Building a pool for a family, or the many families that populate hotels, schools, community centers, etc. are two very different processes.

When creating your personal pool your needs are the most important, but during commercial pool construction we will employ our extensive knowledge of current trends and market research. We know what your clients want and what’s going to make them the happiest and most comfortable while swimming.

At Aqua Escapes, Inc. we’ve had the pleasure of building pools and spas for a wide variety of businesses. Our reputation for quality workmanship and competitive pricing has made us a local industry leader.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • What’s the difference between inground and aboveground pool installation?

    Inground pools are built into the ground using durable materials like gunite, concrete, or fiberglass. They offer full customization, increase property value, and are ideal for both residential and commercial use—but require more time and investment.


    Aboveground pools sit on the surface, are faster and more affordable to install, and are great for temporary or budget-friendly backyard solutions—but offer less design flexibility and longevity. At Aqua Escapes, Inc., we professionally install both types to ensure safety, levelness, and long-term performance.

  • Do you build pools for both homes and businesses?

    Yes! We specialize in residential pool construction for homeowners dreaming of a backyard retreat, as well as commercial pool projects for hotels, schools, gyms, HOAs, and community centers. Our approach differs based on use: residential pools focus on personal style and comfort, while commercial builds prioritize durability, safety compliance, accessibility, and high-traffic functionality.

  • What materials do you use for inground pools?

    We primarily build gunite (shotcrete) pools, the most versatile and long-lasting option in Southern California. Gunite allows for any shape, depth, or feature (like tanning ledges or waterfalls). Finishes include:


    • Plaster (classic white or colored)
    • Pebble or quartz aggregate (durable and textured)
    • Tile, stone, or glass accents
    • Vinyl liners (less common for inground, but available)

    We’ll help you choose the best material based on your budget, climate, and aesthetic goals.

  • Can I really install an aboveground pool myself?

    While DIY kits exist, professional installation is strongly recommended. Improper ground leveling, wall assembly, or plumbing can lead to structural failure, leaks, or safety hazards. Our team ensures:


    • Perfectly level base preparation
    • Secure wall and frame assembly
    • Proper filtration and electrical setup
    • Safe, code-compliant placement

    This protects your investment and extends your pool’s lifespan.

  • How do I get started with a custom pool project?

    It’s easy! Just call Aqua Escapes, Inc. for a free consultation. We’ll visit your North Hills property (or commercial site), discuss your vision, assess your space, and provide:


    • A custom design concept
    • Material and finish options
    • A detailed timeline
    • A transparent, competitive quote

    We handle everything—from permits and excavation to decking and final startup—so you can enjoy your new pool stress-free.
