Silva Pool Contractors designs and builds custom pools across central Los Angeles. From the first measured drawing through engineering, permitting, excavation, the shell, the tile, the finish, and the deck, one crew owns the whole build. We plan the pool around your actual lot and the way you want to use the backyard, put the design and the price in writing, and build every phase to hold up for the long run.
- Custom design and measured drawings
- Permitting and structural engineering included
- Shotcrete and reinforced shells
- Tile, coping, and interior finishes
- Compact-lot and tight-access builds
From the first drawing to your first swim
A new pool is built in a fixed order, and the order exists for good reasons. We start with a measured drawing that reflects your lot, the grade, the access, and the way you picture using the yard. Once you approve the design, we handle the permit submittal and the structural engineering, then stake the layout and bring in the dig. Excavation gives the pool its shape, and from there we set the steel, run the plumbing, and shoot the gunite or shotcrete shell that gives the pool its strength.
After the shell cures, the build moves to the surfaces you live with every day: the waterline tile, the coping that frames the edge, the interior plaster or aggregate finish, and the deck and hardscape around the water. Each step depends on the one before it, which is exactly why a single crew that owns the entire sequence works cleaner than a string of separate trades handing the job back and forth.
We keep you in the loop the whole way, because a build that you understand is far less stressful than one that feels like a black box. We close out with the equipment startup, the water balance, the final city inspection, and a walk-through so you know how to run the pool you just paid for.
Designed around your central LA backyard
The right pool for your home is the one drawn around your specific yard, and central LA yards have specific demands. A narrow side yard that doubles as the only equipment path, a setback that pins the pool to one corner, a mature tree you want to keep, or a sight line from the kitchen you want to frame: all of these shape what the pool should be. We design with those realities up front so the plan we hand you is one we are confident we can build.
We also design for how your household will actually use the water. A family that wants a shallow shelf and a safe play depth needs a different layout than a couple focused on a clean lap line or a small spa for two. We shape the steps, the benches, the depth, and the features around your life rather than a catalog page.
Because we build our own designs, the choices that drive both cost and longevity get made together rather than in separate silos. The shell, the equipment, the finishes, and the deck all influence each other, and planning them as one project is how the finished backyard reads as a single intentional space.
The structure is where the value lives
What determines how long a pool lasts is the part you stop seeing the day it is filled. We engineer the shell to the soil and the grade of your lot, tie the steel to spec, and shoot the shotcrete or gunite so the shell is genuinely sound. The plumbing is laid out for efficient circulation, and the equipment pad is built to code from the start.
The finishes have to earn their place in the Los Angeles sun and years of regular use. Quality plaster, quartz, or pebble interiors, durable tile and coping, and the right decking material are what keep a pool looking sharp long after the build crew leaves. We choose them with you to suit the design, never to pad an invoice.
We build to local pool code and the relevant ANSI/APSP and ICC-5 standards, with the engineering and inspections that make a pool safe and durable. If you are weighing a new pool in central Los Angeles, call 424-421-3759 for a free design consultation and an honest, written plan.
the home this service belongs to
A pool is a design-build project, so pool construction rarely stands alone, it connects to renovating an older pool, remodeling the pool, a new plaster finish, a new pool deck, energy-efficient equipment, and our crew handles all of it as one accountable team. We bring the same service to Pool Construction in Mid Wilshire, Pool Construction in Koreatown, Pool Construction in Mid City, Fairfax pool construction and everywhere else across the Los Angeles area.
