The cost of a fiberglass pool can shift based on your yard, the features you want, and how detailed the proposal is. Getting a clear picture early helps avoid surprises once the work begins. That’s why we put together a standard package that covers what most homeowners need. It explains exactly what’s included and shows where extra charges might come in. For project photos and finished examples, see our fiberglass pool installations.
What’s Included in Our Standard Fiberglass Pool Package
We’ve built our fiberglass pool packages around what 95% of our clients end up choosing. It gives you a full setup that’s ready to use, not just a basic pool shell dropped into your yard.
Standard Package Breakdown
Our typical fiberglass pool package costs between $135,000 and $150,000. That includes:
- A 35-foot fiberglass pool shell
- Pool coping and standard concrete decking
- A full equipment setup (pump, filter, heater)
- Nature2 sanitizer system
- An automatic pool cover
- Standard excavation and installation
This range covers most installs where the backyard is relatively flat and doesn’t require major grading or structural work. It’s a true turn-key solution with no missing pieces or surprise gaps in service.
Why Fiberglass Pools Cost Less Over Time
We offer both fiberglass and custom gunite pools, but fiberglass has become popular for a reason. Once installed, fiberglass pools are easier to maintain, faster to clean, and less expensive to service than concrete pools.
Installation Timeline and Efficiency
Fiberglass pools go in quickly. Since the shell is pre-manufactured, it gets delivered in one piece and placed directly into the excavated hole. Most projects take just a few weeks from the start of excavation to completion, assuming there are no major slope or site prep issues.
Fiberglass Pool Cost and Backyard Conditions
Here’s where it’s important to dig a little deeper. The price we mentioned earlier is for a typical install, but not all yards are the same.
The Cost of Slope Improvement
If your yard has a significant slope or uneven grade, you may need additional work before we can install the pool. We call this slope improvement, and it might involve:
- Retaining walls
- Grading and excavation beyond standard digging
- Soil removal or fill dirt
These costs are not included in the $135,000 to $150,000 range. In some cases, slope improvement alone can add $20,000 to $40,000 or more to the total project cost. This is one of the most commonly overlooked expenses in pool installation, and many homeowners don’t find out until it’s too late.
Avoiding Surprise Costs
Some companies quote the pool alone without looking at the full project. We’ve had customers come to us after another builder started work, only to discover they needed a retaining wall after excavation. At that point, the pool is already in the ground, and fixing the issue becomes much more complicated and expensive.
What Else Can Impact Fiberglass Pool Cost?
Every project is a little different, and your choices will impact the total price. Here are a few examples:
- Pool shape and color: We carry two lines of fiberglass pool shells, each with several shapes and color options.
- Heaters and covers: Our standard package includes a heater and an auto cover. Some clients also request additional upgrades based on their preferences.
- Decking material: Standard concrete is included, but you can choose pavers or stamped finishes at an added cost.
Thinking About a Custom Pool?
If you’re interested in a fully custom shape, infinity edge, or zero-entry design, we now offer gunite pool construction as well. These projects come with unique pricing details and allow for a wide range of design possibilities. For fiberglass, the focus is speed, simplicity, and long-term maintenance savings.
