Prices are estimates and may vary depending on project design, city requirements, engineering, excavation, access, pool finish, deck size, equipment package, and selected upgrades.

What Affects the Cost of a New Pool?

Pool Size and Shape

The larger the pool, the more excavation, steel, plumbing, concrete, tile, finish, and deck work is required. Simple rectangular pools usually cost less than custom shapes with curves, raised walls, or special features.

Pool Depth

A deeper pool usually requires more excavation, more steel, more concrete, and more finish material. Most residential pools in Miami are built with a shallow end and deeper swimming area, but the final depth design can affect the price.

Backyard Access

If the backyard has tight access, narrow side yards, fences, trees, concrete, or limited machine access, the project can require more labor and planning.

Pool Finish

Standard pool finishes are usually more affordable, while upgraded finishes such as quartz, pebble, glass beads, or premium exposed aggregate finishes can increase the total cost.

Pool Tile and Coping

Waterline tile, glass tile, porcelain tile, travertine coping, marble coping, and modern deck materials can change the final price depending on the selected style.

Equipment Package

A basic pool equipment package may include a pump, filter, and basic controls. Upgraded packages may include a variable-speed pump, cartridge filter, salt system, automation, heater, LED lights, and smart phone controls.

Pool Lights

Color-changing LED lights, nicheless lights, spa lights, step lights, and sunshelf lighting can add a modern luxury look to the pool, especially at night.

Spa, Sunshelf, and Water Features

A spa, tanning ledge, bubblers, deck jets, waterfalls, raised walls, and fire features can significantly increase the final project cost.

How Much Does a Pool with a Spa Cost?
