The Hollis Way: Our Proven Pool Building Method

A clear, transparent process built for Jacksonville families.

At Hollis Pools, we believe building a pool shouldn’t feel complicated. The Hollis Way is our step-by-step method that delivers clarity, communication, and confidence from your first phone call to your first swim. As a local family-owned builder, we treat every backyard like it’s our own — delivering craftsmanship you can trust.

Every project begins with a conversation. We learn your vision, your budget, and how you plan to use your pool—whether it’s for family time, entertaining, relaxing, or all of the above. This step ensures we design a backyard that fits your lifestyle, not a cookie-cutter template.

We visit your home to evaluate access, layout, utilities, elevation, and setback requirements. This ensures your design is accurate, buildable, and perfectly suited to your yard before we move into 3D modeling.

Your ideas come to life in a detailed 3D model showing shape, spa options, tile choices, water features, fire bowls, lighting, decking, and the full layout of your future backyard. This is where you get your first look at your finished pool.Welcome to Hollis Pools, where we believe that swimming pools are more than just a place to swim. They are a place to relax, have fun, and create memories with family and friends. Our team of skilled professionals is dedicated to designing and constructing the perfect pool for your unique needs and lifestyle. From the initial design concept to the final installation, we take pride in delivering exceptional service and quality craftsmanship. Take a look at our portfolio to see some of the stunning pools we have created for our clients. We look forward to working with you to create the pool of your dreams!

We meet at our partner showroom where you can see and compare tile, plaster, pavers, coping, fire features, water bowls, and outdoor living upgrades. You’ll finalize selections and receive a full proposal based on your choices.

After your design is approved, we move into engineering, structural plans, and permit submission for your county. Hollis Pools handles all coordination and keeps you updated through each review stage until we receive full approval.

From layout and excavation to steel, plumbing, electrical, shotcrete, tile, coping, decking, and inspections — Hollis Pools manages every phase with clear communication and trusted trades. This is where your vision becomes reality.

Your pool receives its interior finish and your water color comes to life. We handle the full startup process including equipment activation, water balancing, and a brushing schedule to ensure a perfect finish.

We walk you through how to operate your pool equipment, valves, heater, automation, lighting, and features. Once everything is complete, it’s time for your first official swim — the moment you’ve been waiting for.
