Building a custom pool isn’t just a home improvement project—it’s the transformation of your backyard into a personal paradise. At Triton Pools, we’ve spent over 20 years helping Las Vegas homeowners bring their visions to life. Our custom pools are crafted through a process designed to be smooth, transparent, and stress-free so you know exactly what to expect from the first consultation to the first swim.
Whether you’re dreaming of a resort-style escape or a modern retreat for family fun, this guide walks you through our proven building process that ensures quality, satisfaction, and long-term value.
Step 1: Consultation — Where Your Vision Comes to Life
Every exceptional custom pool starts with a conversation. During your initial consultation, our expert design consultants take the time to learn about your goals, lifestyle, budget, and aesthetic preferences. We’ll assess your property layout, measure dimensions, and evaluate site access, sun exposure, utility lines, and any city or HOA regulations that might affect the build.
You’ll receive:
- A personalized custom pool concept plan
- Advice on permits and regulations in Las Vegas
- A preliminary cost estimate based on your design preferences
This phase is all about clarity and alignment. We ensure that every design decision going forward is tailored to you.

Step 2: Design — Custom Tailored to Your Style
Once your consultation is complete, our team begins creating your custom pool design. This stage includes 2D or 3D renderings, material options, and feature upgrades such as spas, waterfalls, lighting, and landscaping integration.
At your design review meeting, we’ll walk through:
- The layout, shape, and size of your pool
- Surface and coping material selections
- Optional enhancements: LED lighting, water features, spa additions, or sun shelves
- Decking, landscaping, or other features that complete your backyard environment
We revise the design until it’s just right. Once approved, we’ll finalize the plans, apply for permits, and prepare for groundbreaking.
