Transform Your Backyard Into a Badass Luxury Escape

Custom pool pricing in Phoenix varies based on design, materials, and site conditions, but most professionally built custom pools in Arizona typically start in the mid-$60,000 range and increase based on features, engineering requirements, and integrated landscaping. Because soil conditions, access, and design complexity vary widely across the Valley, the most accurate way to understand cost is through a design-first consultation rather than online averages.

Unlike many pool builders, Unique Companies is a fully in-house design and build firm with licensed pool construction, landscape contracting, and general contracting under one roof. Our owner’s background in civil engineering allows us to design pools that are structurally sound, efficient to build, and cost-conscious from day one — reducing change orders, delays, and unnecessary expenses that often occur with outsourced designs.

No — and that’s a common misconception. The most effective approach is to establish a target budget first, then design around it. Our design process is built to align creative vision with real-world construction costs, allowing homeowners to make informed decisions early and avoid over-designing a project that doesn’t align with their investment comfort level.

Timelines vary depending on design complexity, permitting, and seasonal demand, but most custom pool projects in Phoenix take several months from approved design to completion. Because we manage permitting, engineering coordination, and construction in-house, we’re able to reduce downtime between phases and keep projects moving efficiently compared to multi-contractor builds.

Yes — and this is where most homeowners see the greatest value. Designing the pool, landscaping, hardscape, and outdoor living elements together allows for better layout flow, more accurate budgeting, and a finished space that feels cohesive. It also eliminates conflicts between contractors and ensures everything is engineered and built to work together from the start.

Not necessarily. Custom simply means flexible, not excessive. While pre-set pool packages can appear cheaper upfront, they often include features homeowners don’t want or fail to account for site-specific requirements. A custom approach allows you to prioritize what matters most, control costs intentionally, and avoid paying for elements that don’t add value to your lifestyle or property.

An engineer-led design approach means your pool is planned with structural integrity, build efficiency, and long-term performance in mind from the very beginning. With a civil engineer leading our design philosophy, every pool layout accounts for soil conditions, elevation changes, hydraulics, drainage, and load requirements before construction starts. This results in fewer construction surprises, better cost control, and pools that are built correctly the first time — not redesigned mid-project. It also allows our designs to move through city permitting more smoothly because they’re created with compliance and constructability already built in.

Yes — landscape design and construction is a core part of what we do. Our Phoenix landscape design services are integrated directly with pool design, allowing us to create outdoor spaces that function as one cohesive environment. From hardscape and planting to lighting and outdoor living features, our landscapes are designed to complement the pool both visually and structurally. Because everything is designed and built together, homeowners avoid common issues like grading conflicts, drainage problems, or mismatched materials that often occur when landscape and pool work are handled separately.
