Tulsa Pools and Repair
A new swimming pool starts taking shape long before excavation begins. Pool location, access, depth, equipment placement, structural features, decking, and utilities all influence what happens once construction gets underway.
At Tulsa Pools and Repair, we provide custom pool construction in Bixby with a strong focus on planning the project correctly from the beginning. Our new pool construction services center on in-ground gunite pools, allowing us to adapt the structure to the property rather than relying on a fixed pool shell. Our construction perspective is supported by Clark’s decades of general construction experience as well as his pool-construction background. That helps us think about the pool as part of a larger construction project, not just the finished water surface.
Some pool decisions are easy to change later. Others become much more difficult once structural work begins.
Early Decision | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
Pool location | Determines how the structure fits the yard |
Shape and dimensions | Establishes the basic excavation and shell |
Pool depth | Influences use and structural planning |
Equipment location | Affects plumbing routes and future access |
Deck space | Determines movement around the pool |
Built-in features | May affect structure and plumbing |
Spa placement | Changes layout and pool systems |
Entry and seating | Need to work with interior dimensions |
Resolving these issues early gives each later construction stage a clearer direction.
The tile, coping, interior finish, and water are what customers see when the pool is finished. But a large part of the work happens underneath or behind those surfaces.
A custom gunite pool involves several connected elements:
That sequence is why we focus so heavily on planning before excavation.
Gunite construction allows us to adapt a pool to the property and project goals.
Our pool construction work can include:
The important question is not simply whether a feature can be added. We also consider how it affects the structure, available swimming space, plumbing, deck relationship, and overall scope of the project.
The pool should not be designed independently from the rest of the site.
Before construction, we need to consider how the proposed pool relates to:
Equipment placement is a good example. The equipment does not need to be the visual centerpiece of the backyard, but it still needs a practical location that works with plumbing and allows future service access.
Deck planning is equally important. The deck determines how people move around the water, where furniture can be placed, and how the pool connects with the rest of the outdoor area. Those details can be easier to resolve before construction than after the pool shell is already in place.
Our Bixby page is not just about selecting attractive pool features. Construction knowledge matters. Clark’s background includes decades of general construction experience and more than 20 years in pool construction. His experience developed through concrete-related work, pool decks, tile and plaster, repair, and full swimming pool construction.
That background gives us a broader view of the work. We understand that pool structure, concrete, plumbing, finishes, equipment, and the surrounding area are connected. Our team also brings extensive additional pool-industry experience and continues to build its knowledge through manufacturer and professional education.

New construction is not the right answer for every property. If you already have a swimming pool, our pool renovation and remodeling services can address plaster, waterline tile, coping, decking, entries, benches, ledges, spas, water features, and equipment. When the issue is isolated damage or a system problem, our pool repair services may be more appropriate. We prefer to evaluate what is already there before recommending a larger project.
Major decisions should include the pool location, basic dimensions, depth, equipment placement, deck space, entry layout, and built-in structural features.
Pool equipment connects to the pool through plumbing and needs to remain accessible for future service. Planning the location early can make the finished project more practical.
Yes. Tanning ledges, benches, spas, custom entries, fountains, waterfalls, bubblers, and other features can be incorporated into many gunite designs.
Pool decking is part of the work we perform and should be considered alongside the pool because it affects how the finished area is used.
Yes. We provide free estimates so we can discuss the property, project scope, design ideas, features, and budget.
The visible finish matters, but the strongest pool projects begin with good decisions about the site, structure, systems, and layout.
