Innovative Outdoor Living is a licensed, insured pool builder serving Palm Beach Gardens, FL, building custom gunite and fiberglass pools in-house, from design through final inspection. We handle every Palm Beach County permit and stay on your project from the first 3D design to the final walkthrough. Call (561) 594-1495 for a free 3D design consultation.
The reasons come down to five things you can verify: our state license, our in-house crews, our warranty, our awards, and a showroom you can walk through. Each one is checkable before you sign a contract.
The Better Business Bureau gives us an A+ rating, and our work is backed by verified customer reviews.
A custom pool build suits homeowners who want a pool designed around their specific lot, home, and how they plan to use the space, rather than a stock shape dropped into the yard. We build for families who want a safe, shallow-entry pool for children, entertainers who want a spa and sun shelf, and estate owners in communities such as BallenIsles, PGA National, Mirasol, and Old Palm, where an architectural review board sets the design standard. Gated and HOA communities often run strict approval processes, so we prepare and manage those submissions to keep your build on schedule.
As a licensed pool contractor in Palm Beach Gardens, we pull every county permit, carry full insurance, and stay on your project from excavation through the final barrier and electrical inspection. You work with one accountable contractor from permit to first swim, not a rotating chain of subcontractors.
The right shell for a Palm Beach Gardens pool depends on your lot, how custom you want the shape, and how much upkeep you want, and we build both in-house so the recommendation fits your yard rather than the one product a company happens to sell. On the sandy soil and high water table common across Palm Beach Gardens, gunite gives you any shape, depth, or built-in feature, while fiberglass sets a proven shell faster with less long-term maintenance. Most local builders offer only gunite, so this is a choice many cannot actually give you.
Gunite is the common choice for Palm Beach Gardens estate pools because the design freedom is worth the added build time. On a standard yard where speed matters, fiberglass can be the smarter call. We walk you through both against your lot and your priorities before anything is dug.
We build the features Palm Beach Gardens homeowners request most for their lots and outdoor spaces, and we design and plumb them in from the start so they work as one system rather than a retrofit later:
A new pool in Palm Beach Gardens moves through six defined stages, from design and county permitting to the finished pool, and knowing them up front keeps the build predictable. We coordinate each stage with the City and Palm Beach County and keep you updated on what is happening and what comes next.
We map the pool to your lot, setbacks, and the look you want, then produce a photo-realistic 3D model so you can adjust shape, features, and layout before anything is dug.
We pull the Palm Beach County building, electrical, and barrier permits and submit engineered plans, which typically takes two to four weeks.
We excavate the site and set the steel cage to schedules certified by engineers who specialize in pool structures, built above the local code minimum.
We form the gunite shell or set the fiberglass shell, then fully waterproof the beam with Basecrete before any tile goes on, which is what prevents the leaks and tile failures that show up years later on pools that skip the step.
We install coping, waterline tile, and your chosen interior finish, with decking and waterline details completed to match.
We pass the final county barrier and electrical inspections before the pool is filled, then start the system, balance the water, and walk you through operating and caring for the pool.
A pool here faces conditions an inland pool never does: sandy soil, a high water table, salt air near the coast, and hurricane-season loads. We engineer for all of it, with reinforced shells built above local code, Basecrete waterproofing on every gunite shell, salt-resistant equipment, and active groundwater management during excavation so the shell cures correctly. A pool in this climate runs year-round, so it is worth building to hold up every month of the year.
Every new residential pool in Florida must include at least one approved safety feature before it passes final inspection, under the Florida Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act, Statute 515. The approved options are a barrier at least 4 feet high fully enclosing the pool, an approved safety pool cover, exit alarms rated at least 85 decibels on doors and windows with direct pool access, or self-closing, self-latching gates with the release at least 54 inches high. We design your barrier and safety plan into the build from the start, and Palm Beach County requires both the final barrier and final electrical inspections to pass before the pool can be filled. Pulling the permits and passing those inspections is part of our job, not yours.
The materials decide how a pool looks on day one and how it holds up a decade later, so we build Palm Beach Gardens pools with finishes chosen for the area's heat, sun, and coastal salt air. Interior finishes range from classic plaster to quartz and pebble surfaces that resist staining and hold their color for years. Waterline tile comes in glass, porcelain, and natural stone, and coping and decking use travertine, marble, and paver options that stay cooler underfoot and stand up to sun and rain. We walk you through every material in our Jupiter showroom, where you can see and compare tile, stone, decking, and finish samples in person before you decide.
Equipment matters as much as the surface. We install variable-speed pumps, salt chlorination, LED lighting, heaters, and app-based automation, all sized for proper flow and efficiency rather than cut down to the minimum. In a climate where a pool runs every month of the year, equipment chosen for efficiency and longevity is what keeps the pool easy to own over its full life.
We build across Palm Beach Gardens and the surrounding communities. Inside Palm Beach Gardens we build in BallenIsles, PGA National, Mirasol, Old Palm, Frenchman's Reserve, Evergrene, and Steeplechase, covering ZIP codes 33418, 33410, and 33412. Just beyond the city, homeowners come to us for a pool builder in North Palm Beach, Juno Beach, and Jupiter. Our Jupiter showroom is a short drive from any Palm Beach Gardens neighborhood, so site visits and material selection stay easy through your whole build.
Our showroom sits at 14701 Walgreens Dr in Jupiter, just off the Beeline Highway, and most Palm Beach Gardens neighborhoods reach us in about 20 minutes. From PGA National Resort, head west on PGA Boulevard (FL-786), then take the Beeline Highway (FL-710) northwest to Park of Commerce Boulevard, turn onto Corporate Road North, and Walgreens Drive is the final turn, roughly 12 miles and 20 minutes. From The Gardens Mall, take PGA Boulevard west to the Beeline Highway (FL-710) and follow the same approach, about 15 miles and 22 minutes. We also come to you for the on-site design consultation and every build visit.
New construction is one of several services we offer. If you are reworking a pool layout, our pool design service is the better starting point, and for an existing pool, see our pool remodeling and renovation service in Palm Beach Gardens.
Yes. We are a Florida Certified Pool/Spa Contractor and carry full insurance, and you can verify our license and BBB A+ standing before you sign. We build with in-house certified crews, not subcontractors.
Warranty terms are provided in writing before your build begins and cover the pool structure and the manufacturer coverage on materials such as fiberglass shells and finishes. The coverage reflects how each shell is engineered and waterproofed with Basecrete before tile goes on, which protects against the leaks and tile failures that show up years later on pools that skip that step.
Depth is set during design around how you plan to use the pool and the soil and water-table conditions on your specific lot. Many homeowners choose a shallow entry that steps down to a deeper end, giving children a safe area and swimmers room to move. We assess your site and recommend safe depths built to code for your yard and how you want to use the pool.
Our own team. Lead designer Scott A. Miller is a former architect and Certified Master Pool Builder, and our fiberglass division, Schiller Pools, was founded by Dean Schiller in 1980. Gunite and fiberglass are both built in-house by certified crews, with no subcontracted labor.
A custom gunite pool generally takes a few months from signed design to first swim, and a fiberglass shell is set and finished faster, often in a matter of weeks. That covers design, Palm Beach County permitting, excavation, the shell, tile and deck, equipment, and final inspections. Weather and material lead times can shift the schedule, which we build into the timeline up front.
Choose gunite for a fully custom shape, depth, or built-in feature such as a spa, beach entry, or infinity edge. Choose fiberglass for a faster install and lower maintenance. We build both in-house and recommend by fit for your yard, not by margin, which most local builders cannot offer because they build only one.
Yes. A new pool requires Palm Beach County building, electrical, and barrier permits with engineered plans, which we pull as part of the build. The county requires the final barrier and electrical inspections to pass before the pool can be filled.
Every new residential pool must include at least one approved safety feature under the Florida Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act, Statute 515: a barrier at least 4 feet high around the pool, an approved safety cover, exit alarms rated 85 decibels on doors with pool access, or self-closing, self-latching gates. We design your safety plan into the build so it passes county inspection the first time.
