Pool installers Services in Ankeny

Inground Pool Installation in Ankeny

We dig, set, and finish concrete or vinyl liner pools sized for your yard. Every installation includes proper base preparation for our clay-heavy soil and drainage systems to handle spring runoff.

Pool Excavation and Grading in Ankeny

Clay soil excavation requires the right equipment and timing to avoid a muddy mess. We grade the site to direct water away from the pool and your foundation.

Concrete Decking and Coping in Ankeny

We pour and finish pool decks that can handle our 42-inch frost depth and seasonal temperature swings. Proper control joints and base prep prevent cracking through Iowa winters.

Pool Plumbing and Equipment in Ankeny

All plumbing gets buried below frost line with proper winterization access. We install pumps, filters, and heaters in locations that make seasonal opening and closing straightforward.

Safety Fencing and Gates in Ankeny

We install code-compliant pool fencing that meets Des Moines safety requirements. Self-closing gates and proper latch heights are part of the permit process here.

Pool Renovation and Replastering in Ankeny

Older pools need new surfaces and updated equipment over time. We replaster concrete pools, replace vinyl liners, and upgrade outdated filtration systems.

How It Works

Site Visit and Estimate. We come out to look at your yard, check slope and drainage, and talk through what size and style of pool fits your space and budget. You get a written price breakdown within a few days.

Permits and Engineering. We handle the permit application with your local city and provide any engineering drawings they require. This usually takes two to four weeks depending on the municipality.

Excavation and Prep. We dig the hole, set up proper drainage around the pool footprint, and prep the base with compacted gravel. Clay soil removal is hauled off site.

Pool Shell and Plumbing. The pool structure goes in, whether that's a concrete shell or vinyl liner system. All plumbing gets installed below frost line and tested before we backfill.

Decking and Finish Work. We pour the concrete deck, install coping, set up equipment, and put in code-compliant fencing. Final inspection gets scheduled once everything is complete.

What Inground Pools Cost in Des Moines

A basic vinyl liner inground pool in the Des Moines area typically runs between $35,000 and $55,000 installed, while a concrete or gunite pool usually starts around $50,000 and goes up to $80,000 or more depending on size and features. Prices change based on how much clay we need to excavate, whether your yard has good drainage or needs extra work, how far we need to haul dirt, and what kind of decking and finishes you want. Larger pools, custom shapes, integrated spas, and high-end tile work all add to the cost. Sites with difficult access, steep slopes, or high water tables take more prep work and will be on the higher end of the range.
