At All Property Services (APS), we understand that one of the most common questions our customers have is about the timeline for installing a fiberglass pool. After all, the sooner you can start enjoying your new pool, the better! In this blog post, we’ll break down the installation process and give you a clear idea of how long it takes to install a high-quality fiberglass pool from River Pools.
Pre-Installation Phase
Before the installation can begin, there are a few crucial steps that need to be completed:
- Consultation and Design: The first step is to schedule a consultation with our team at APS. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your vision, needs, and preferences for your new pool. We’ll also help you choose the right size, shape, and features for your fiberglass pool. This phase typically takes 1-2 weeks.
- Permits and Approvals: Once the design is finalized, we’ll handle the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities. The time required for this step can vary depending on your location and local regulations, but it generally takes 2-4 weeks.
Installation Phase
With the pre-installation steps complete, we can move on to the actual installation of your fiberglass pool. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
- Excavation: The first step in the installation process is excavating the site where your pool will be placed. This involves removing soil and preparing the ground. Excavation usually takes 1-2 days.
- Pool Delivery: Once the site is ready, your fiberglass pool will be delivered to your home. Since fiberglass pools are pre-manufactured, they arrive in one piece and are ready to be installed. Delivery and placement typically take 1 day.
- Setting the Pool: After delivery, the pool is carefully set into the excavated area using a crane. This step also includes leveling the pool and ensuring it is properly aligned. Setting the pool usually takes 1-2 days.
- Plumbing and Electrical: Next, our team will install the necessary plumbing and electrical systems for your pool. This includes connecting the pool to your home’s water and power supplies, as well as installing any additional features like lights or heaters. This step generally takes 2-3 days.
- Backfilling and Filling: Once the pool is in place and the plumbing and electrical work is complete, the area around the pool is backfilled with soil to secure it in position. Simultaneously, the pool is filled with water. Backfilling and filling the pool typically take 1-2 days.
- Decking and Landscaping: The final steps involve installing the pool deck and any landscaping you’ve chosen to complete your backyard oasis. The time required for this step can vary depending on the complexity of your design, but it generally takes 1-2 weeks.
Post-Installation Phase
After the installation is complete, there are a few final steps to ensure everything is perfect:
- Inspection and Final Touches: Our team will conduct a thorough inspection of your new pool to ensure everything is installed correctly and functioning properly. Any final touches or adjustments will be made during this time. This step usually takes 1-2 days.
- Enjoy Your Pool: With everything in place and inspected, your pool is ready to be enjoyed! Our team will provide you with all the information you need to maintain and care for your new fiberglass pool.

In total, the installation of a fiberglass pool from APS (All Property Services) typically takes 4-8 weeks from consultation to completion.
