OasisBlue Pool Contractors designs and builds new custom pools across Sherman Oaks and the San Fernando Valley. We start with a real plan drawn to your lot, whether that is a terraced hillside above the boulevard or a wide flat yard below it, then carry the project through engineering, permits, the dig, the shell, the finishes, and the deck with one accountable crew. The design and the price go in writing before anyone breaks ground.
- Drawn-to-lot design with 3D renderings
- Hillside and flat-lot engineering
- Permits and structural work handled in-house
- Reinforced shotcrete shells
- Finishes and decking chosen for Valley heat
A new pool starts on paper
Everything that decides how a pool turns out is settled before the dig. We begin by walking the yard and reading the lot: where the grade falls, how equipment can reach the work area, what the soil is likely to demand, and where the pool wants to sit relative to the house and the sun. From that we draw a real design with renderings you can react to, and we keep reworking it until it is right rather than rushing a plan into the ground.
Once the drawing is approved, the order of work is fixed and we follow it. Permits and structural engineering come first, then the layout is staked and the excavation shapes the pool. Steel goes in, the plumbing is run, and the shotcrete or gunite shell is shot to give the pool its strength. None of the visible finish happens until that structure is sound, because the structure is what the pool actually is.
After the shell, the build moves into the part you live with: waterline tile, coping, the interior finish, and the deck that frames everything. One crew owning that whole sequence is what keeps a Sherman Oaks build moving instead of stalling between a string of separate subcontractors who each blame the last.
Designed for the lot you actually have
There is no such thing as a standard Sherman Oaks lot. A terraced hillside parcel above Ventura needs a pool engineered into the slope with careful attention to access and grade. A flat ranch lot in the streets below has room but rewards a layout that ties the pool into the whole backyard. We design to the lot in front of us, so the pool fits the property instead of forcing the property to accommodate a stock shape.
We also design to how your household will use the water. A family that wants a shallow shelf and a wide play area needs a different pool than one built for laps or for entertaining around a spa on a summer evening. We shape the depth, the steps, the benches, and the features around your real life, and you see all of it in 3D before we commit anything to the dirt.
Because the same crew that draws the pool is the crew that builds it, the choices that drive both cost and longevity get made together. The shell, the plumbing, the equipment, the finish, and the deck all lean on one another, and planning them as a single project is how the finished backyard reads as one intentional space.
Engineered to outlast the trend
The structure is where a pool lives or dies, so it is where we spend our attention. We engineer the shell for your soil and your slope, set the steel to specification, and shoot the shotcrete or gunite so the shell stays sound for decades. The plumbing is laid out for efficient circulation through a long Valley season, and the equipment pad is built to code so service is straightforward years down the line.
Finishes get chosen to hold up to the heat this neighborhood actually sees. Quality plaster, quartz, and pebble interiors, durable tile and coping, and decking that stays comfortable underfoot in July are what keep a pool looking right long after the build photos. We pick them alongside you to suit the design and the way you live, never as a reflexive upsell.
We build to local pool code and the relevant ANSI/APSP and ICC-5 standards, with the engineering and inspections behind it. If you are planning a new pool in Sherman Oaks, call 424-421-3772 for a free planning consultation and a written design you can actually build from.
The wider pool project around this
A pool is a design-build project, so pool construction rarely stands alone, it connects to a full pool makeover, remodeling the pool, replastering the pool, building the deck, new pumps and filters, and our crew handles all of it as one accountable team. We bring the same service to Pool Construction in Encino, Pool Construction in Studio City, Van Nuys pool construction, Pool Construction in Valley Village and everywhere else across the Sherman Oaks area.
