A Custom Pool Without the Wait
Reasons to finance your build
Start Building Sooner
There is no reason to wait years to save the full amount. Finance a pool now and enjoy your backyard through the seasons you would otherwise miss.
Keep Your Cash Liquid
Fund the project over time and keep your reserves available for everything else, from investments to the unexpected.
Finance the Whole Vision
Pool financing can cover more than the pool. Spas, water features, lighting, decking and the surrounding outdoor living space can all be part of one financed project.
From Design to Financed Build

Financing and construction stay separate, but the path from one to the other stays simple.

Milestone-Based Billing
How your build is billed
Your project is billed in stages tied to real construction progress, never all at once. You stay informed at every milestone, with progress notes and photos as the work is completed.
Design & Approval
You approve your 3D design and we finalize the engineered plans, locking your scope before any ground is broken.
Permitting & Excavation
We pull the county permits and, once cleared, stake the layout and excavate to the engineered depth.
Steel & Plumbing
Reinforcing steel is tied to the engineered schedule and the plumbing rough-in is set and pressure-tested.
Gunite Shell
The shotcrete shell is sprayed and hand-shaped into your pool, spa, steps and benches, then cured.
Tile, Finish & Decking
Waterline tile, coping, the interior finish and the surrounding deck are installed.
Equipment & Startup
Pumps, heating, automation and sanitization go in; the pool is filled, balanced and handed off to you.
Exact payment amounts at each stage are set in your Southern Pool Designs construction agreement.
