The Art of Custom Pool Design & Installation

A custom pool is more than just a place to swim; it is a structural addition to your home that requires expert engineering. Our expertise spans from sleek, modern geometric designs to natural, lagoon-style retreats that blend into the Pennsylvania landscape.

Solving Common Backyard Challenges

Many homeowners hesitate to build a pool because of the complexities involved. We solve the most common “pain points” for property owners:

• Difficult Terrain: Many yards in Yardley or Upper Makefield have significant slopes. We specialize in engineered retaining walls and tiered pool decks that turn “unusable” hillsides into stunning luxury retreats.

• Permitting & Zoning: Building a pool in Bucks County involves strict setbacks and impervious surface regulations. We manage the entire permitting process, ensuring your design is compliant with local township codes.

• Drainage & Runoff: A pool changes the way water moves across your property. We integrate advanced stormwater management systems to protect your home and your neighbor’s property from runoff.

• Inconsistent Contractors: Many pool companies only build the “vessel” and leave the patio and landscaping to someone else. We offer a turnkey solution, managing the pool, the masonry, and the landscape as one cohesive project.

Our Comprehensive Backyard Capabilities

We don’t just “drop in a pool.” We design an ecosystem. Our services include:

• Custom Inground Pools: Expertly engineered vessels using premium materials designed to withstand the Northeast’s freeze-thaw cycles.

• Luxury Pool Decks & Patios: Utilizing travertine, flagstone, or stamped concrete to create a slip-resistant, elegant surround.

• Water Features: Incorporating waterfalls, deck jets, and infinity edges for sound and movement.

• Integrated Spas: Custom-built hot tubs that flow seamlessly into your main pool design.

• Pool Houses & Cabanas: Extending your living space with structural outdoor buildings for changing, storage, or poolside dining.

The CLC “White-Glove” Installation Process

Because we are an owner-operated firm, our process is built on transparency and precision.

1. Site Assessment & Conceptual Design

We begin with a thorough analysis of your property in Bensalem, Warminster, or Lower Makefield. We look at soil types, utility lines, and sun exposure to determine the optimal placement for your pool and backyard features.

2. Engineering & Permitting

Once the design is finalized, our team handles the heavy lifting of engineering and municipal approvals. We ensure your pool meets all safety requirements, including fencing and alarm codes.

3. Excavation & Structural Construction

Using our own fleet of heavy equipment, we handle the excavation and structural build. We use high-PSI concrete and reinforced steel to ensure the pool shell remains stable for decades.

4. Masonry, Plumbing & Electrical

This is where the “Custom” in CLC truly shines. Our in-house masons install your coping and tile with unmatched precision, while our technicians install energy-efficient pumps, heaters, and salt-water systems.

5. Finishing & Water Start-Up

We finish with premium interior finishes—ranging from smooth plaster to glass bead textures. Once filled, we manage the initial chemical balance and teach you exactly how to operate your new “Smart Pool” from your smartphone.

Why CLC Contractors is the Premier Choice

In the Delaware Valley, a pool is a major investment. You need a contractor who understands construction from the ground up.

• General Contracting Roots: Unlike “pool-only” companies, we are general contractors. We understand the structural integrity of your entire property, ensuring your pool doesn’t compromise your home’s foundation or drainage.

• In-House Masonry Expertise: We are known for our stone work. Your pool’s coping and deck will be installed by the same masters who build our custom homes.

• Local Accountability: We live and work in Bucks County. Our reputation is built on the word-of-mouth of your neighbors.

• Sustainable Tech: We prioritize variable-speed pumps, LED lighting, and automated covers that reduce energy costs and chemical usage.
