The figures on this page are real and we don't hide them — that's how AE operates. But we want to be honest about how to read them. Your Phoenix pool build isn't a line-item expense; it's an investment in your home's value, your family's daily experience, and a space you'll use for the next twenty to thirty years.
When you compare bids, compare what you're investing in — the spec, the crews, the warranty, the company that will still be standing in year ten — not just the price tag. The lowest bid is almost always the most expensive build over time.
AE Outdoor Living designs and builds custom gunite pools across the entire Phoenix metro. Engineered rebar cages, shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and quartz interiors, integrated outdoor living rooms. Every pool is paid on the canonical 15/25/25/25/10 milestone schedule — no ambiguity, no surprises.
15% at signing, 25% at excavation, 25% at shotcrete, 25% at deck/tile, 10% at pool school. Written on every contract. No 10%-or-$1,000 language, no vague remainders.
Free in-person consultation, 3D design walk-through, written contract with published milestones.

“We had Advant-Edge install our yard/pool from bare dirt to the finished project. This is a quality company that takes pride in doing great work and it showed every step of the way. The owner of the company checked in regularly to make sure everything happened according to the plan. We're really happy with how everything turned out and since completion our kids spend most of their time outside playing.”
“I recently had the pleasure of working with an exceptional pool builder, Advant-Edge, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with their outstanding craftsmanship and unparalleled service. From start to finish, this company exceeded all my expectations, delivering a dream pool that has become the centerpiece of my backyard oasis. Right from the initial consultation it was evident Advant-Edge was committed to understanding my vision and turning it into a reality — their team listened attentively, offered valuable insights, and translated my ideas into a tangible plan. The construction process was seamless and efficient, and their attention to detail was remarkable. What truly sets them apart is their exceptional customer service and open communication throughout the entire project. The end result is nothing short of extraordinary — a true masterpiece blending elegance, functionality, and durability. I wholeheartedly recommend Advant-Edge to anyone looking to transform their backyard into a luxurious oasis.”
“Glass fence around the pool looks phenomenal — even better than expected! Truly elevates the backyard. Donovan and Adam were really great to work with, and worked through several iterations to create the perfect curve around the pool. They went above and beyond to get everything completed in time for a party we were throwing!”
