Pool Design & Construction in Philadelphia
Some homes just feel different in summer. A custom pool brings out the best in a backyard, making space for family, friends, and that moment when everything finally slows down. APS Masonry Contracting is a trusted name in pool contractors in Philadelphia, designing and building pools that fit the way people really live. Our team installs inground pools, renovates aging surfaces, and transforms city yards and suburban lots into outdoor living areas that stay full all season. Whether we’re working in South Philly’s narrow yards or wide-open lawns in Berks County or Bucks County, we tailor each pool project to the site, the people, and the rhythm of life around it.
Every design starts with the people who’ll use it. Want a plunge pool for quiet afternoons? Looking for a full build with outdoor kitchens, pool houses, and custom features? We plan with intention, build with precision, and make sure your space becomes a place to gather, cool down, and reset. Start your pool installation with a team that knows how Philadelphia summers really work—book your free consultation today.

Pool Installation – From Empty Yard to Custom Escape
A new pool changes the way a home feels, especially when it’s done right from the start. Our team handles the full swimming pool construction, working with fiberglass, vinyl, or concrete pools, depending on the layout, soil, and use goals. We’ve installed inground pools in tight Philadelphia backyards and wide open lots in Atlantic County and Bucks County, always with design-first thinking.
We manage the full build—design, excavation, equipment installation, permits, and finishing—so your only job is deciding when to jump in.
-
Pool Renovation – Give Your Existing Pool a Second Life
Aging pools don’t need to be replaced—they need a professional eye. APS handles full pool renovation for worn liners, cracked concrete, or outdated designs that no longer work. We resurface, reline, rewire, and refinish existing pools, integrating updated plumbing, better drainage, and energy-efficient options like salt systems or LED lighting.
The goal is simple: bring the fun back to a pool that’s already part of your home.
-
Custom Pool Design – Built Around Your Life, Not a Template
No two summers are the same—and no two pools should be either. Our swimming pool design process starts with a conversation about how you entertain, relax, and recharge. We build custom swimming pools with real-life additions like fire pits, outdoor space planning, stamped concrete patios, and even fence contractor coordination when needed for safety or zoning.
Whether it’s a plunge pool with clean geometry or a multi-zone yard with a grill area and splash ledge—we build what fits.
-
Equipment + Structural Maintenance – Keep the System Strong
After the build, we stay available for equipment repair, equipment replacement, and full system checks. That includes pumps, heaters, plumbing lines, and integration with other parts of the outdoor living space. We’re not a weekly cleaning service—we’re long-term pool builders who care about what we build holding up for the long haul.
APS takes pride in pools that run as well as they look.

Why Homeowners Across Philadelphia and Nearby Counties Trust APS
Every property has its quirks, but Philadelphia homes come with their own rulebook—tight lots, old infrastructure, shared lines, and tricky stormwater grading. APS Masonry Contracting understands how to build swimming pools that respect the city’s layout, the homeowner’s vision, and the need for lasting, safe construction. We handle zoning, setbacks, and storm water management across the Philadelphia area. Our crews build around your schedule, not over it—delivering clean work, clear timelines, and pool areas that feel finished, not rushed.
As licensed general contractors, we coordinate every part of your outdoor living build—from fence contractors for code compliance to landscape contractors for post-pour finishing. Whether you’re installing a new swimming pool or reworking an existing one into something you’ll actually use, our goal is to get it done once and get it done right.
Pools That Change How You Live—One Day, One Summer, One Season at a Time
A great pool becomes the place your friends talk about all year. The one with the lights strung across the yard, music playing, and people still in the water after dark. It’s where kids learn to swim in a space you trust, where the gate locks, and you know they’re safe.
For some, it’s how the day ends—a quick swim before dinner that resets everything. For others, it’s how the day begins again—laps at 6 a.m., coffee after, part of a new healthy daily routine. APS designs pools that support all of it—whether you’re hosting 20 people or just stepping outside to breathe for the first time all day. This is the kind of outdoor space that changes a home’s role in your life. It’s not just where you live anymore. It’s where things happen. Where people show up. Where you feel better without even trying.
Build the backyard everyone talks about—APS is the Philadelphia pool company that makes custom design, safety, and summer feel effortless.
FAQs for Pool Design in Philadelphia
-
How do I choose the right pool type for my yard and goals?
Start with what you want out of the space—fiberglass pools offer fast installs with clean shapes, vinyl liner pools are great for softer finishes and budget flexibility, and concrete gives you total control over form and size. As swimming pool builders with experience across the Philadelphia PA region, we help match the pool to the property, lifestyle, and long-term plans.
-
Do you handle maintenance after installation?
While APS is a pool contractor—not a cleaning company—we do offer ongoing pool maintenance services that include equipment checks, water testing, and seasonal regular maintenance to protect your investment. We're available for pool maintenance support long after the project is done.
-
What areas do you serve outside of the city?
In addition to projects throughout Philadelphia PA, we also serve county areas including Bucks and Montgomery counties. Our crews know the permitting and drainage needs unique to each zone and manage the full build with zero guesswork on your end.
-
What outdoor upgrades can be added to enhance the pool area?
We design complete outdoor living experiences, including integrated water features, hardscaping, lighting, and upgrades like outdoor air conditioning units near patios or pool houses. APS also coordinates fence contractors and lighting to make sure the entire space feels cohesive, comfortable, and secure.
-
How do I get started if I’m still figuring out the design?
Book a design consultation with our team. We’ll walk your yard, talk through layout and usage goals, and help you feel confident in the direction before you ever sign a contract. It’s not just about picking a pool—it’s about building the right one for your life.
