Customers say: Quick response

Our history begins with value.\nIn 1954, we opened the doors of our Los Angeles office and began building pools for Southern California families. We had a simple philosophy: build every pool with the finest craftsmanship, respecting our customer�s money and property as if it were our own. \n\nCalifornia families loved our approach. By 1975 we were the state�s premier builder of residential pools. In 1976 we opened our Stockton office � the first of six locations in Northern California. \n\nToday, Swan Pools is California�s leader in residential swimming pools. We have never changed our founding philosophy. But now, we can offer our customer something more - the backing of a secure, successful group of companies, with a 50-year track record and over 50,000 projects completed.\n \n \nBeyond the water is the oasis.\nWe�ve always understood that the pool is just a detail of a bigger picture. Above and around the water is a living environment. It�s a place where families come to find joy, exhilaration, tranquility and the pleasure of company, a private oasis. \n\nToday, Swan Pools creates complete backyard environments, with the pool as a centerpiece. We begin with the lives of our customers, their hopes and dreams, needs and passions. Then we design and build flexible, elegant spaces that enhance their worlds.\n \n \nFrom the intimate to the majestic:\nSwan Pools customers live in compact urban spaces and on sprawling acreages. Their homes are built on hills, on rocks and on beaches. Just as no two families are alike, neither are their properties. Every Swan Pools environment is a unique creation, reflecting the spirit of the owner and the spirit of the land.\n \n \nOur promise has been unchanged since 1954.\nSwan has always, and will always provide our customers with uncompromised quality at the best possible value. For us, quality means longevity, efficiency, performance, craftsmanship and beauty. Value includes both the purchase price and the cost of long-term maintenance. Armed with the industry�s leading long-term warranty and quality assurance program backs our promise.\n \n \nLet Swan Pools create an environment that will bring years of family entertainment�without leaving your home!\n

"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"

"As a widow, who once had a wonderful husband to manage this type of project, I thought it would be difficult for me to plan and execute. I found the team at Royal Pools to be most helpful, especially Tami who kept me informed each step of the way. Overall, it was a great experience."

Pool Construction and Installation questions, answered by experts

A professional land surveyor ensures accurate property boundaries and prevent legal disputes.

Grading complexity, debris removal volume, equipment, labor, and permits determine expense levels.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:

  • Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet

  • Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features

  • Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)

  • Distance traveled for the professional surveyor

Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the professionals you hire if you need a perc test. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails.
