Our Design Process

STEP #1 CONSULTATION

​Enjoy a meeting with Cole, he is Chris and Debbie’s son as well as A Cut Above’s backyard designer. On this first meeting you will be given the opportunity to go over your ideas, where you’ll look over some pictures and talk about your vision for a dream yard. Cole will take detailed notes, and then record measurements of your yard. He’s always happy to address any questions or comments you might have, as well as learn about your individual expectations

STEP #2 DESIGN

You’ll see a complete 2 dimensional design as well as a 3 dimensional video with images. You will be given opportunity to review the job breakdown for the design at the table with Cole. All prices are itemized, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. This is a great time for customers to make any necessary changes to the design before going forward.
​

STEP #3 BUILD

This is an amazing process to watch! You will witness a complete transformation take place in your backyard. It’s the longest step of the five and will usually take 10 to 12 weeks, given Mother Nature doesn't decide to pull any jokes. As the longest step, your build covers a few milestones provided in detail below:

  • The dig typically takes one to two days, depending on the size of pool and rockiness of the dirt.
  • Installing the steel and the plumbing in the pool; this also includes putting in the pool equipment.
  • Applying shotcrete into the pool creates a solid concrete shell in the ground.
  • Rock work and rock coping creates a tropical vibe, while tile and coping yields a traditional look.
  • After we install plaster or pebble finish, we begin filling your new pool with water.

STEP #4 COMPLETION

A Cut Above wraps up with any final touches we need to finish, as well as any landscaping. This is what really brings it all together, and can significantly increase the beauty of your backyard! 

STEP #5 ENJOY!

This is the final step and involves exactly what the title says... Enjoy your dream being a reality!
From the first of these milestones to the last can take as little as 10 to 12 weeks!  Imagine, you could be enjoying a pool in your backyard in as little as a couple of months.
