Faster to Swim

A fiberglass shell arrives pre-formed and goes into the ground in 2 to 3 weeks. Gunite pools take 3 to 6 months from permit to first swim because the concrete has to be poured, cured, and plastered on site.

See our fiberglass vs. gunite vs. vinyl comparison for the full breakdown.

Built for Virginia Winters

Northern Virginia gets real freeze-thaw cycles every winter. Gunite is porous and cracks under that stress, which is why gunite pools need replastering every 8 to 12 years at $30,000 and up per visit, depending on pool size.

A fiberglass shell is a single flexible piece with a non-porous gel coat. It moves with the ground, and 10-year upkeep runs closer to $3,000 to $5,000.

One Team, Pool and Patio

Most pool companies install the pool and stop there — the patio, retaining walls, and landscaping become separate contracts you coordinate yourself. Outdoor Solutions builds the complete package: pool, hardscape, and landscaping under one contract, with one crew and one schedule.

See the pool and patio page.

Skip the Fence, Keep the View

Virginia's pool code requires a safety barrier, but it doesn't have to be a fence. A powered automatic safety cover meeting ASTM F1346 satisfies the code in all four counties Outdoor Solutions serves, so the yard stays open and unfenced.

The cover earns its keep beyond the code, too: it holds heat, keeps leaves and debris out, and seals the pool shut when nobody's swimming. HOA rules can still require a fence — that gets checked during design.

How It Works

  1. 1

    1. Consultation

    The Outdoor Solutions crew walks your yard, talks through what you want, and looks at access, slope, and setbacks. You leave with a realistic sense of scope and cost before any design work starts.

  2. 2

    2. Design

    Outdoor Solutions sizes and places the shell to fit your lot, then lays out decking, fencing, and any patio or hardscape work as one connected plan rather than separate projects.

  3. 3

    3. Permits

    Every pool in Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, and Fauquier County needs a permit once it's over 150 square feet, holds more than 5,000 gallons, or is deeper than 24 inches. Outdoor Solutions prepares and submits the paperwork.

    Requirements differ by county. See Fairfax County permits, Loudoun County permits, Prince William County permits, or Fauquier County permits.

  4. 4

    4. Build

    Once the permit clears and the hole is excavated, the fiberglass shell sets in a day and the full install wraps in about 2 to 3 weeks. Decking, fencing, and equipment hookup follow on the same timeline.

Pool Construction Service Areas

NOVA Pool Builders covers Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Prince William County, and Fauquier County, Virginia. Each county runs its own permitting process, and lot size, HOA rules, and setback requirements vary by town.

We also build dedicated pages for specific communities, including Great Falls and other towns across the four-county service area, so you can see permit and lot details specific to where you live.

What a Pool Really Costs Here

A fully installed fiberglass pool in Northern Virginia starts around $80,000 and runs to $185,000 or more for a full outdoor-living build, with most mid-range projects landing between $120,000 and $175,000, depending on shell size, decking, and equipment.

Fiberglass costs more upfront than a basic vinyl liner pool in some cases, but it avoids the liner replacements every 7 to 10 years and the gunite replastering every 8 to 12 years that add up over time.

Pool + Patio, One Team

Most backyard projects are more than just a pool. Outdoor Solutions builds the patio, retaining walls, and landscaping around the shell as part of the same design-build project, so the pool deck and the surrounding hardscape are planned together instead of stitched together after the fact.

Common Questions

How long does it take to install a fiberglass pool?
Setting the shell takes about a day. The full install, including plumbing, decking, and backfill, typically wraps in 2 to 3 weeks. That's separate from permitting, which adds several weeks to a few months depending on the county.
Do I need a permit to build a pool in Northern Virginia?
Yes. Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, and Fauquier counties all require a permit for any pool over 150 square feet, holding more than 5,000 gallons, or deeper than 24 inches. Plan on $400 to $1,200 in permit costs depending on the county once the building permit, electrical and heater trade permits, and county surcharges are all counted, and sites that trigger a grading or conservation plan cost substantially more. If the property runs on a septic system, the county health department also has to approve the project. See our Northern Virginia pool cost and permitting guide for the full county-by-county comparison.
Who actually builds the pool?
Outdoor Solutions, a licensed and insured Class A design-build contractor based in Bealeton, VA, performs all design and construction. NOVA Pool Builders connects homeowners with Outdoor Solutions for the build.
Is fiberglass better than gunite or vinyl for this area?
Fiberglass installs faster and holds up better against Virginia's freeze-thaw winters than porous gunite, and it skips the liner replacements a vinyl pool needs every 7 to 10 years. Gunite still offers more shape flexibility for large custom pools. Full comparison on the fiberglass vs. gunite vs. vinyl page.
When do I need to sign a contract to swim next summer?
Most homeowners sign by January or February so permitting, excavation, and installation finish before the season starts. Starting in fall or winter also means less competition for build slots.
Do I have to put a fence around the pool?
Not necessarily. Virginia's pool code requires a code-compliant barrier, and a 48-inch fence is the familiar way to meet it — but the same code accepts a powered automatic safety cover complying with ASTM F1346 in its place. Outdoor Solutions installs both, so homeowners who'd rather keep the yard open can plan on an automatic cover instead of fencing. HOA rules or an insurance carrier can still require a fence, which gets checked during design.
Will my HOA allow a pool?
Fairfax County has more than 1,500 homeowner and condo associations, and many require architectural review approval before a pool goes in, on top of the county permit. HOAs require the homeowner to submit the application and paperwork themselves — Outdoor Solutions helps prepare the package and factors the review into the timeline during design.
