The Challenge:
Poor Soil Conditions

Building a swimming pool in The Tribute neighborhood of West Frisco, TX, presents a unique set of challenges. The area's soil conditions are notoriously poor, making it a difficult environment for pool construction. At Foley Pools, we don’t see these challenges as obstacles; we see them as opportunities to demonstrate our expertise and commitment to building durable, long-lasting pools.

The Foley Pools Solution:
Engineering Stability from the Ground Up

Our success in building pools in The Tribute starts with a thorough understanding of the soil. We go beyond standard construction practices by employing a series of advanced engineering techniques that fortify the pool's foundation and prevent long-term damage:

Construction site with rebar and wooden formwork for a concrete foundation, adjacent to a fenced backyard with a house, trees, and construction equipment in the background.

Piers

To provide a stable base, we install piers that extend deep into the ground, anchoring the pool to a solid foundation beneath the shifting layers of soil. This approach significantly reduces the risk of movement and structural damage over time.

Overdigging

We take the extra step of overdigging, which means we excavate beyond the typical pool dimensions to create a larger area that can be backfilled with more stable materials. This process helps mitigate the effects of soil expansion and contraction, ensuring your pool remains level and crack-free.

Sump Pumps

Proper drainage is essential when dealing with expansive soils. We install sump pumps to manage groundwater and keep the area around your pool dry. This proactive measure prevents water buildup that could destabilize the soil and cause the pool to shift.
