Pool cost
If you’ve started dreaming about a pool in your Tucson backyard, one of the first questions that comes to mind is: how much does it cost to build a custom pool in Arizona? While prices vary, we’re here to give you a clear idea — no guesswork, no sales pitch, just real numbers from real experience.
The Average Cost of a Custom Pool in Tucson
In Southern Arizona, most custom pools start around $40,000 and can go up to $120,000+, depending on your vision, yard layout, and finish choices. Small plunge pools may fall on the lower end, while larger designs with spas, water features, or automation increase costs.
What Affects Pool Pricing?
1. Excavation & Access
Hillside lots or tight yards may require special equipment or hauling. Good news — Meraki owns all our own machinery, so we control the process and cost.
2. Size & Shape
Freeform pools and deeper shells require more material and labor than compact rectangles. We design to fit your yard and your goals.
3. Finish Materials
Pebble, tile, plaster, and coping choices each impact cost and durability. We walk you through options that balance look and longevity.
4. Features
Tanning ledges, spas, in-floor systems, water/fire features, and LED lighting all enhance function — and price. We help you choose what’s worth it.
