When you choose Artistic Pool & Spa for your custom pool construction in Las Vegas, you're not hiring a franchise or a contractor who outsources everything. You're partnering with the Foglia family — pool builders who've called Las Vegas home since 1981 and have personally overseen thousands of pool projects across the valley.
Founded by Ron Foglia and now led by his son Wade, Artistic Pool & Spa handles every aspect of your pool build in-house: 3D design, engineering, city permits, excavation, steel, plumbing, electrical, tile, plaster, and final landscaping. One team. One point of contact. Zero finger-pointing.
Our Custom Pool Construction Process
Unlike companies that rely on cookie-cutter templates, we start every project with a blank canvas. Here's how we bring your vision to life:
Free Consultation
We visit your property, discuss your vision, measure your yard, and review soil conditions.
3D Design
Our designers create a photorealistic 3D rendering so you can see your pool before we break ground.
Permits & Engineering
We handle all Clark County permits, HOA approvals, and structural engineering — you don't lift a finger.
Construction
Our in-house crew handles excavation, steel, plumbing, electrical, gunite, tile, and plaster.
Final Touches
Equipment startup, water chemistry, landscape integration, and a thorough walkthrough with the owners.
Pool Designs We Specialize In
Every Las Vegas backyard is different. Every family has different needs. That's why we never reuse designs — each pool is engineered from scratch. Our most popular styles include:
- Freeform lagoon pools — Natural shapes with rock features, grottos, and tropical landscaping
- Modern geometric pools — Clean lines, raised walls, infinity edges, and minimalist aesthetics
- Resort-style pools — Swim-up bars, tanning ledges, waterfalls, and integrated spas
- Lap pools & sport pools — Regulation-friendly designs for swimmers and athletes
- Small-yard pools & spas — Compact designs that maximize limited space
- Pool-and-spa combos — Integrated or standalone spa with spillover into the main pool
Why Las Vegas Pool Construction Requires Local Expertise
Building a pool in Las Vegas isn't the same as building one anywhere else. The desert climate, caliche soil, extreme heat, and Clark County building codes create unique challenges that out-of-state or inexperienced builders often get wrong.
With 40+ years of Las Vegas-specific experience, Artistic Pool & Spa knows how to:
- Properly excavate through caliche and rocky desert soil without costly delays
- Engineer pools that withstand extreme temperature swings (30°F winters to 115°F summers)
- Select finish materials and equipment rated for intense UV exposure
- Navigate Clark County permitting efficiently — we know every inspector by name
- Design for water conservation, a critical consideration in the Las Vegas Valley

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a custom pool in Las Vegas?
Most custom pool builds take 8–14 weeks from groundbreaking to swim day, depending on the complexity of the design and any custom features. We provide a detailed timeline during the design phase, and unlike many builders, we don't juggle dozens of projects at once — your pool gets dedicated attention.
How much does a custom pool cost in Las Vegas?
Custom pool construction in Las Vegas typically ranges from $55,000 to $150,000+, depending on size, shape, materials, and features like waterfalls, spas, or swim-up bars. We provide transparent, itemized estimates — no surprises, no hidden change orders.
Do you handle HOA approvals?
Yes. We've worked with virtually every HOA in the Las Vegas Valley. We prepare and submit all required documentation, including site plans and elevation drawings, and handle any revision requests.
Can you build a pool in a small backyard?
Absolutely. Some of our best work has been in compact Las Vegas lots where other builders said it "couldn't be done." We specialize in creative designs that maximize small spaces with plunge pools, cocktail pools, and compact swim spas.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. One of our biggest differentiators is that our crew handles every phase in-house — from excavation to plaster. This means better quality control, faster timelines, and a single point of accountability: us.
What warranty do you offer?
All Artistic Pool & Spa builds come with a comprehensive warranty covering structural integrity, plumbing, equipment, and interior finish. We stand behind our work because we plan to be here for another 40 years.
What Our Clients Say
"We interviewed four pool builders in Vegas, and Artistic was the only one who actually listened to what we wanted. Wade came out personally, took measurements, and the 3D rendering blew us away. The finished pool looks even better than the design."
"As a contractor myself, I'm picky about who works on my home. Artistic Pool & Spa earned my respect. Their crew was professional, on schedule, and the craftsmanship is outstanding. You can tell they've been doing this for decades."
