Arizona outdoor spaces for life’s best moments.

A real, permit-pulled pool in the Phoenix metro starts around $65,000. Most families invest $85,000–$120,000 for a complete pool with decking, equipment, and basic landscape restore. Resort-scale builds with spas, water features, and large travertine decks run $150,000–$300,000+. For planning, AE's published pool payment reference for new pool construction and major pool builds is a 15/25/25/25/10 milestone draw schedule; your signed agreement sets the actual payment terms and controls.

Typical AE turf planning ranges $11–$18 per square foot installed. Base material, depth, compaction, drainage, and infill are selected for the site conditions and documented in the written proposal.

Pool timing has two parts. Preconstruction — design, selections, engineering, any HOA review, and permitting — comes first, and its length depends on the scope and the reviewing authority. Construction follows: as a planning example, many pools take 8 to 16 weeks of elapsed calendar time after permits are approved, through dig, steel, plumbing, gunite, deck, equipment, and interior finish, depending on complexity, weather, and custom features. Inspections, cure and startup periods, and material procurement also affect the calendar. Your project-specific estimate depends on scope, approvals, and materials, and your written project schedule controls.

Product lifespan varies based on product selection, exposure, traffic, pets, drainage, maintenance, and manufacturer documentation. AE selects turf, base, and infill for the site conditions and documents them in the written proposal.

Yes — artificial turf around an Arizona pool works when the right yarn, infill, and drainage are chosen. AE plans turf placement around splash-out, chlorine exposure, and glare risk so it stays usable. Warranty coverage depends on the selected product's manufacturer terms, so review that exact product's warranty policy and exclusions, plus its installation and care documents, before approving the scope.

Arizona's statewide pool-barrier statute, ARS §36-1681, applies within its own scope and exceptions and addresses enclosure height, climbability, openings and self-closing, self-latching gates. Cities, counties, HOAs and insurers can add requirements, so the property owner confirms what applies with the municipality/AHJ before design is finalized — read the statute at https://www.azleg.gov/ars/36/01681.htm. AE installs to the approved written scope and does not guarantee approval, and no barrier replaces active adult supervision — always watch children around water.
