Legacy Construction

Custom Pool Builder & Installation in Richmond, VA

A well-built pool is one of the most lasting upgrades you can make to a home. When it’s done right, it adds real value to the property and becomes a space your family returns to for years. Legacy Pools is a Richmond-based custom pool builder specializing in inground pool installation across central Virginia. We design every project around your yard and your vision, and manage the entire process through completion, so nothing gets missed and the finished product is something you’re proud of.

Custom Inground Pool Design and Installation

Every yard is different, and every pool should reflect that. Legacy Pools designs each project around the conditions of your specific property, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals, rather than fitting your yard to a standard template.

We build across three primary materials:

Vinyl liner pools deliver a clean, finished look at the most accessible price point, with a range of design options to suit different spaces.

Fiberglass pools offer a shorter install timeline and a smooth, low-maintenance surface that holds up well over time.

Concrete pools allow for the most freedom in shape, size, and finish, and are built for heavy use over decades.

During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the right option based on your budget, timeline, and what works best for your property.

Our Richmond Pool Installation Process

Understanding the steps ahead makes for a smoother experience. Here is how a typical pool build at Legacy Pools works:

Design and consultation: We start by learning what you want, evaluating your yard, and helping you choose the right pool type and size for your space and budget.

Permitting: We manage the permit process with local authorities. Virginia requires permits for inground pool construction, and requirements vary by locality. We handle the coordination.

Excavation and installation: Once permits are in place, we excavate and begin construction. Every stage, from structural work to plumbing, electrical, and surface finishing, is monitored closely.

Final review and startup: We walk you through the completed pool and equipment before closing out the project. You leave knowing exactly how everything works.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a custom inground pool cost in Richmond, VA?

Pricing depends on pool type, size, and the overall scope of the project. Vinyl liner installations typically start around $30,000 and increase based on size and added features. Concrete pools can range from $50,000 into the six figures, depending on complexity. Fiberglass generally falls between the two. Contact us for a quote based on your specific yard and goals.

How long does pool installation in Richmond take?

Timeline varies by pool type. Vinyl liner pools typically install in one to three weeks, fiberglass in two to four weeks, and concrete pools require significantly more time due to curing. Full project timelines, including permitting, can extend to several months. We provide a clear timeline estimate before work begins.

What type of pool is best for my backyard?

That depends on your priorities. Vinyl liner pools offer the best value and the most design flexibility. Fiberglass installs quickly and requires less ongoing maintenance. Concrete allows for the most customization in shape and finish. Virginia’s climate generally favors materials that handle temperature variation well. We’ll walk through the options together during your consultation.

Do you offer pool financing?

Yes. Legacy Pools partners with HFS Financial to offer home improvement financing with fixed rates starting at 7.99% APR, terms up to 20 years, and loan amounts up to $300,000. There are no equity requirements, and checking your rate has no impact on your credit score. Financing can cover pool construction, decking, water features, and other project costs.

What outdoor features can be added to a new pool build?

Many homeowners use a new pool build as an opportunity to improve the surrounding space at the same time. Legacy Pools can incorporate pool decking, coping, hardscaping, and water features including waterfalls and lighting as part of a complete installation. Safety fencing to meet Virginia’s pool barrier requirements can also be included. Planning everything upfront leads to a more cohesive finished space.
