The Hollis Way: Our Proven Pool Building Process

A clear, transparent process for custom pool construction designed for Jacksonville families by trusted Jacksonville pool builders.

At Hollis Pools, we believe that custom pool construction 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 local Jacksonville pool builders, we treat every backyard like it’s our own — delivering craftsmanship you can trust. We also offer a comprehensive pool design consultation to ensure your vision comes to life.

Every project begins with a conversation where our Jacksonville pool builders learn your vision, budget, and how you plan to use your pool—whether it’s for family time, entertaining, relaxing, or all of the above. This pool design consultation step ensures we create custom pool construction that fits your lifestyle, rather than relying on a cookie-cutter template.

We visit your home to evaluate access, layout, utilities, elevation, and setback requirements as part of our custom pool construction process. This thorough assessment ensures that your pool design consultation results in a plan that is accurate, buildable, and perfectly suited to your yard before we move into 3D modeling with our experienced Jacksonville pool builders.

Your ideas come to life in a detailed 3D model showcasing the 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, one of the leading Jacksonville pool builders, where we believe that swimming pools are more than just a place to swim. They are a sanctuary for relaxation, fun, and creating cherished memories with family and friends. Our skilled professionals specialize in custom pool construction, dedicated to designing and constructing the perfect pool tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.

We meet at our partner showroom where you can explore options for custom pool construction, comparing tile, plaster, pavers, coping, fire features, water bowls, and outdoor living upgrades. During your pool design consultation, you’ll finalize selections and receive a full proposal based on your choices, tailored by our experienced Jacksonville pool builders.

After your custom pool construction design is approved, we move into engineering, structural plans, and permit submission for your county. As trusted Jacksonville pool builders, Hollis Pools handles all coordination and keeps you updated through each review stage until we receive full approval, ensuring a smooth process from your initial pool design consultation to final approval.

This is where your vision becomes reality, starting with a thorough pool design consultation.
