Custom Pool Builder in Tempe, AZ

Tempe is a mature city with almost no new land, which means nearly every pool we build here goes into an established backyard behind an existing house. The build below, Palomino Drive, is exactly that.

Envy Pools is family owned, veteran owned, and has been building across the Valley since 2018.

What We Build in Tempe

Palomino Drive leads with fire and water, which is the right move on an established lot where the landscaping is already doing the heavy lifting.

  • Fire features, because a Tempe backyard is a year round room and the shoulder seasons are when it gets used most.
  • Water features for sound, which matters more on a smaller lot with neighbors close by.
  • Designs that work around mature landscaping rather than clearing it. In a city this established, the trees are usually worth more than anything we could put in their place.

Building a Pool in Tempe: What to Expect

Pools are permitted through the City of Tempe and we pull the permit as part of your build, then work to the City inspection sequence.

Tempe is almost entirely built out, and that shapes every project here. Lots are older, side yards are narrower, and utilities are frequently not where the original drawings suggest. Access is the first thing we assess, because on a landlocked Tempe backyard it can dictate the excavation method and the entire schedule.

If your neighborhood has an architectural committee, that approval is yours to request and runs on its own timeline. We provide the plans and renderings for you to submit.

Our Design and Build Process

Every project runs the same way, whether it is a plunge pool or a full outdoor living build.

  1. Consultation at your home. We walk the yard, check access, note drainage and sun, and talk through how you actually plan to use the space.
  2. 3D design. You see the pool in your own backyard before anything is signed, and we revise until it is right.
  3. Permitting. We pull the permit and keep you posted on where it stands. If your neighborhood needs architectural approval, we hand you the drawings to submit.
  4. Construction. Excavation through plaster, with your project manager as one point of contact rather than a rotating cast.
  5. Startup and handoff. We walk you through the equipment and the first month of chemistry so you are not guessing.

Why Tempe Homeowners Choose Envy Pools

We are a small, family owned company, roughly ten people, so the person who designs your pool is still involved when it is being built.

If you are in Tempe and thinking about a pool, a fire feature, or a full backyard rebuild, we would rather walk your yard than send you a brochure.
