Planning a pool in Delray Beach
Delray Beach sites vary widely. Closer to Atlantic Avenue and the Intracoastal, lots can be tighter and design choices more precise. West of I-95, many homes sit in golf, lake and gated communities with larger yards and HOA standards for materials, screening and equipment screening.
Coastal air, sun exposure and how you use the yard all shape finishes, tile, coping and decking. We cover those choices on the free consultation and in your 3D design.
Pool permits in the City of Delray Beach
Properties inside the City of Delray Beach are permitted through the City Building Department. Unincorporated West Delray addresses are typically handled by Palm Beach County. Historic or specially designated areas may add a design review step before the building permit. We confirm the path for your parcel, prepare engineering and file the full package.
Renovations and outdoor living
Delray homeowners often renovate an aging pool while upgrading the entertaining space around it. Resurfacing, new tile and coping, salt systems, lighting and a new deck can pair with a pergola or outdoor kitchen — built together or in phases.
