In Nichols Hills, recent work has centered on architectural pools and resort-style backyards, with travertine decking, integrated spas, and outdoor living features finished to a high standard.
What ties our work together is craftsmanship you can see up close and backyards that get used hard through Oklahoma’s long season. We build with materials chosen to take the heat and the clay , true gunite shells, quality decking, and equipment meant to run for years , because in Nichols Hills, a pool is a long-term investment in the home, not a quick add-on.
Most custom gunite builds run about 8 to 12 weeks of active work once permits are approved, depending on design and decking. Oklahoma’s long season lets us build much of the year, and we’re known for finishing on or ahead of schedule. We give you a realistic Nichols Hills timeline at the design stage.
