Patios & Hardscaping

Patios & hardscaping that tie your backyard together.

Pavers, walkways, patios and retaining walls — built to last under California sun and to turn the space around your pool into a true outdoor living area.

Why Homeowners Choose Us

The surfaces your family lives on.

Hardscape is the foundation of every outdoor living area. Done right, it lasts decades, drains properly, and stays beautiful season after season. Done wrong, it cracks, sinks, and gets replaced in five years.

We treat patios, walkways and walls with the same care as the pool itself — proper base prep, quality materials, and clean detail work by experienced local crews.

01 How long will it take to build my pool?

Most New Creation Pools are built in 4 to 6 weeks and Pool Spas are built in 6 to 8 weeks. This also depends on weather and timely material selections.

This really depends on your yard. If you have a newf home with no backyard landscape it’s very minimal. If during excavation we need to drive over existing landscape to access the pool area or dig the pool in an area that has existing grass or sprinklers, the repairs could be extensive. Most irrigation and drain lines must be relocated or repaired. We help identify those lines and possibly can complete minor drain line repairs but other repairs are not included in the contract as we have no idea what the extent of additional work would be.

New Creation Pools is the only local Pool Builder that will layout the pool before the dig. The pool layout will be painted prior to the dig and reference pins will be installed which allows the digger to complete their work in 1 day. Some larger pools or pools with limited access require 2 days to dig the pool but this is rare.

Tile can be selected from SCP 7337 West Goshen Ave Visalia CA 93291. The stone is not selected at SCP. If real stone is included in your project I have several samples but you can go to Pedregal 2310 East Main Visalia. Colored Quartz and Pebble Plasters would also have to be selected. SCP also has samples of Fusion Pebble and Sparkle Quartz. It is good to get everything selected soon to avoid construction delays.

We typically remove fencing the day before the dig. Once the dig is complete, we secure the fencing although depending on access we will use that same access for plumbing rebar, gunite and concrete.

The Contractors State Licensing Board allows a contractor to collect $1,000.00 or 10% of the contracted amount whichever is less when the contract is signed. Payments for the remainder of the contract are billed as said work is completed. For example, a typical payment at pool dig is $8,000.00. Any amount billed above that amount would be excessive and illegal. Other payments are typically due at Gunite, Concrete and Plaster completion. Most pool projects have 5 payments as work is completed. Pool lenders will pay the contractor direct and there are usually 4 payments and no down payment if the entire contract amount is financed.

The Bottom step is formed up when the gunite is placed.

Gunite, concrete and plaster are pumped to the rear yard through a hose. Both the pump for concrete and the compressor for gunite are very loud so please inform your neighbors before that work is done. Usually the street in front of your house needs to be available for these trucks and the driveway could be blocked.
