Building a pool is one of the largest investments you will make in your property, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Your designer stays with you from start to finish. While a dedicated project manager supervises your pool's construction, your designer remains fully involved, always available, and informed every step of the way.
We build what we design. The 3D rendering you approve is the pool we construct.
We prepare you for the real cost. Rock conditions, permitting, engineering, and site access all get identified upfront, and when an unknown arises we tell you right away.

Custom inground pools from Blue Tree Outdoor Living start in the low-to-mid six figures, and the final number depends on size, finish, equipment, site conditions, and the surrounding landscape and hardscape. Because every pool is custom designed, Blue Tree quotes each project individually rather than publishing a single fixed price.
Yes. Blue Tree Outdoor Living offers financing on pool projects through established home improvement and pool lending partners, so you can spread the investment over time rather than paying for the full project upfront. Rates and terms depend on the lender and your qualifications. Visit the Blue Tree financing page to review options and apply.
A custom inground pool typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from excavation to water, depending on weather, permitting, and site conditions. A full project that includes landscape and hardscape work around the pool can run longer, since the yard is finished as one integrated design.
Blue Tree Outdoor Living builds both gunite and fiberglass pools. Gunite is sprayed concrete over a steel rebar frame, fully custom in shape, depth, and finish, and it carries Blue Tree's lifetime structural warranty on the shell. Fiberglass pools are pre-formed shells that install faster and offer a smooth, low-maintenance finish, and the Blue Tree team helps you choose the right fit for your yard. Blue Tree does not build vinyl liner pools.
Yes. Every Pennsylvania municipality that Blue Tree Outdoor Living serves requires a permit for an inground pool, and many also require zoning, setback, and fencing compliance. Blue Tree handles permit coordination with your township as part of the build, so you do not manage the paperwork yourself.
Blue Tree Outdoor Living installs Jandy pool equipment, made by Fluidra, including variable-speed pumps that lower energy costs, energy-efficient heaters, smart filtration, and Wi-Fi automation through Jandy's iAquaLink system. Each component carries its own manufacturer warranty, and Blue Tree standardized on Jandy for equipment quality and strong manufacturer support.
Yes. Blue Tree Outdoor Living can phase a project to fit your budget, typically building the pool first and adding hardscape, landscape, and outdoor features in a later phase. Because Blue Tree designs the whole yard up front, each phase fits a single plan rather than a patchwork of separate jobs.
Pool excavation disrupts the yard, so Blue Tree Outdoor Living restores grading and finishes the surrounding area as part of the project. Because Blue Tree builds pools, landscapes, and hardscapes under one roof, your yard can be returned bare or finished with patios, plantings, and outdoor living features in one coordinated plan.
Blue Tree Outdoor Living designs the pool as part of the whole yard, not as a standalone feature. Pools, landscapes, and hardscapes are designed and built under one roof, so the patio, plantings, retaining walls, and outdoor living spaces are planned together with the pool from day one. That integration is Blue Tree's core difference.
Blue Tree Outdoor Living has been in business 43 years (founded in 1983 in Norristown) and designs and builds pools, landscapes, and hardscapes in-house under one roof. Pool shells carry a lifetime structural warranty. Most builders sub out design or landscaping, so you coordinate multiple companies. With Blue Tree, one team owns the entire outdoor project.
Blue Tree Outdoor Living provides a lifetime structural warranty on the pool shell, which covers the gunite structure itself. Pool equipment such as pumps, heaters, and filters is covered by the individual manufacturer warranties for each component. Blue Tree reviews the full warranty coverage with you before construction begins.
Ongoing pool costs include water care, electricity for the pump and heater, occasional equipment service, and seasonal opening and closing. Blue Tree Outdoor Living handles ongoing pool care through its Premier Outdoor Services team, so the company that built your pool can also maintain it.
Blue Tree Outdoor Living builds both saltwater and traditional chlorine pools. Saltwater pools are popular for lower routine maintenance and a softer water feel, while chlorine pools have a lower upfront equipment cost and a simpler system. The right choice depends on your budget, how you plan to use the pool, and how hands-on you want to be.
Winterizing a Pennsylvania pool means lowering the water level, draining and protecting equipment lines, balancing the water chemistry, and covering the pool before the first hard freeze. Proper closing protects the shell, plumbing, and equipment through the cold months. Blue Tree Outdoor Living offers pool closing and winterization through its Premier Outdoor Services team.
The best time to start is fall or winter, well ahead of swim season. Designing and permitting in the off-season means construction can begin in early spring, so the pool is ready when the weather warms. Because Blue Tree Outdoor Living books up for the build season, starting early secures your spot in the schedule.
Blue Tree Outdoor Living builds custom inground pools across Southeastern PA, serving Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Berks, and Philadelphia Counties. The team designs and builds in-house from its design center in Schwenksville, and 43 years of local experience means Blue Tree knows the soil, township rules, and permitting in the communities it serves.
Jeff started Blue Tree in 1983 and leads pool design and construction. Every pool is engineered and built by in-house crews and backed by a lifetime structural warranty on the shell.
