From the first conversation to the first swim

Bring your ideas for the yard. We’ll help you decide what belongs in the pool plan, what depends on the property, and what you can leave for later.

For your first conversation

Share your address, a few photos and a rough budget. Tell us what matters most: room to swim, a place to eat outside, or a plan for the whole yard. If you already have a survey, bring it along.

Your project, step by step

01

Walk the property

You show Hayden how you use the yard and what you want to keep. Together we check equipment access, slope, drainage and the route from the house to the water. A survey helps us identify setbacks or septic constraints.

02

Decide what to build together

For a pool and deck, we focus on pool size, patio space and equipment location. If you want a covered kitchen, spa or pool house, we look at shared utilities, steps and access before you choose the scope. We explain which choices affect the estimate.

03

Prepare drawings and permits

Artistix coordinates the drawings and permitting for the design you choose, including structures, elevations and systems that need professional or municipal review.

04

Confirm selections and site access

You confirm the finishes and features in the scope. We review how equipment and crews will reach the yard and the order in which the work will happen.

05

Build the pool and backyard

Our trade partners carry out excavation, steel, plumbing, shotcrete and finish work. Artistix coordinates the sequence with the surrounding deck, walls and outdoor structures in your plan.

06

Start up the pool

We start the equipment, show you the controls, and explain the care your new pool needs.
