Pool builder in Smyrna, TN

Flat ground, easy sets

Rutherford County ground around Smyrna is about as cooperative as Middle Tennessee gets for a pool. Mostly level, rock generally not at the surface, wide newer streets with room to set up a crane properly.

That means the set itself is usually clean and the quote is predictable. The variables that move the number here are the model, the deck and the equipment, not the dirt.

The fence line stays where it is

On a standard Smyrna lot the only way to get an excavator into the back yard is to take out a fence section and drive across the grass. Then the concrete trucks come, then the gunite rig, and by the time the pool is curing the yard is a job site.

A crane set skips all of it. The machine works from the street or the drive, the shell flies over the roof, and the fence never comes down. For a lot of homeowners here that is the deciding factor, not the pool itself.

A pool that leaves you a yard

Smyrna back yards are usually big enough to hold a full-size pool and small enough that it would eat everything. A plunge pool is the better trade: real water to cool off in, room left for grass, a table and the dog.

Warm soak in the cold months, cold plunge in the summer, and no part of the yard given over to a pool you use three months a year.

Permits in Rutherford County

Pool permits in Smyrna go through the town and Rutherford County. The permit covers the pool, the barrier and the electrical bonding, with an inspection at the end. We pull it in our name and schedule the inspections.

Which pool fits a Smyrna yard

Smyrna lots are good candidates for a fully in-ground precast concrete Plungie, which is the pool we recommend when the ground allows it. Where overhead lines or a tight cul-de-sac limit the pick, the lighter Little Pool Co. fiberglass shell does the job.

The short version of the rule we use: fully in-ground, go concrete. Above grade, part-buried or a hard reach, go fiberglass. The crane is what decides it. A precast concrete Plungie weighs around twenty five thousand pounds and a Little Pool Co. fiberglass shell weighs under three thousand, and that difference is what determines whether a pool is possible on a given lot at a sane price.

How a Smyrna pool actually goes in

We walk the lot and look at the street, the side path, the canopy and where the water goes in a storm. We tell you what the access allows before you pick anything. Then we design the pool, apply for the permit in our name, prepare the base and the plumbing and electrical, and book the crane. The set itself is a day. After that it is decking, equipment, fill and start-up.

You are swimming in weeks, not months, and there is no open hole sitting in your yard through a Tennessee summer waiting on a gunite crew.

Why Smyrna homeowners call us

You deal with the owner. Wallaby Pools is run by Winston Farzan, a licensed Tennessee general contractor, licence number 75052, with more than twenty six years in the building industry.

Smyrna pools, asked straight

Do you have to take my fence down?

No. The crane works from the street or driveway and the shell goes over the house. The fence stays up.

How long is my yard out of action?

Days. The shell arrives finished, so there is no gunite cure and no long open hole.

Is Smyrna ground good for a pool?

Generally yes. It is flat and rock is usually not at the surface, which makes the set predictable.

Will a pool take up the whole back yard?

Not a plunge pool. That is the point of the size. You keep usable yard around it.

Do you come down to Rutherford County?

Yes. Smyrna, La Vergne and the surrounding area are regular work for us.
