Build a Pool That Fits Your Property and Use

Custom in-ground pool installation from design through completion in Marion, Iowa

When you decide to add an in-ground pool to your Marion property, you're committing to a project that involves excavation, concrete work, plumbing, and equipment installation, and mistakes in any of these stages create problems that are expensive to fix later. Coordinating multiple contractors increases the risk of delays, miscommunication, and structural issues that don't show up until the pool is filled and in use.

Domer Concrete Solutions provides custom in-ground pool installation from design through completion, handling excavation, concrete work, and plumbing integration in-house. We build pools for durability, efficiency, and long-term use, coordinating structural, plumbing, and finishing elements without handing the project off to other companies. Tailored designs fit your property layout and lifestyle needs, and clear timelines and project communication mean you know what to expect at each stage.

If you're planning an in-ground pool in Marion, get in touch to discuss design options, timelines, and what the installation process involves.

How in-ground pool installation actually happens

We start by surveying your Marion property to determine the best location based on grade, drainage, and access for equipment. Once the design is finalized, we excavate the site, form and pour the concrete shell, and install plumbing lines that connect the pool to your equipment pad. Steel reinforcement and proper compaction ensure the structure can handle soil movement and freeze-thaw cycles.

After installation, you have a pool that holds water without leaking, circulates efficiently, and integrates cleanly with your yard. Built for durability, efficiency, and long-term use means fewer repairs and lower operating costs over the life of the pool.

Finishing work includes tile and coping installation, deck construction, and equipment setup. We install pumps, filters, heaters, and control systems, then test everything to confirm proper circulation and heating. Custom features such as steps, benches, tanning ledges, and lighting can be added during construction. Installation timelines depend on weather, soil conditions, and design complexity, but most projects finish within four to eight weeks from excavation to completion.

It's normal to wonder what comes next

Homeowners frequently ask how long installation takes, what happens if the ground shifts, and whether their yard will support a pool without additional foundation work.

What determines the best location for an in-ground pool?
We consider grade, drainage, distance from utilities, and access for excavation equipment. The location should avoid underground lines, allow sunlight exposure, and provide enough space for the equipment pad and decking.
How do you prevent the pool shell from cracking over time?
We use steel reinforcement in the concrete shell, compact the base properly before pouring, and design the structure to handle freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement. Proper drainage around the pool also reduces pressure on the shell.
What type of plumbing do you install for in-ground pools?
We install underground PVC plumbing lines that connect the pool to the pump, filter, heater, and return jets. All lines are pressure-tested before backfilling to ensure there are no leaks.
Why does pool installation take several weeks?
Installation involves excavation, forming and pouring concrete, allowing the shell to cure, installing plumbing and equipment, and finishing tile and decking. Weather delays and material curing times extend the schedule, but we provide clear timelines before work begins.
What happens if soil conditions are poor during excavation?
We assess soil stability during excavation and add compacted fill or adjust the base as needed to support the pool shell. In areas with high water tables or unstable soil, additional drainage or foundation work may be required.
