Pool Design

A great pool design not only enhances the existing site but eliminates nature’s flaws and deficiencies. Arista’s professionals use their full range of talents and experience to address each and every issue including slopes, terrain, drainage and retaining walls. The final product brings together all of the technical elements without sacrificing the aesthetic ones.
We believe your new inground swimming pool should raise the value of your property and be the focal point of your backyard. A good design takes into account how it will look summer, fall, winter, and spring. It considers your family’s privacy needs, and, of course, the look that you

Construction of the Pool
Report
The first stage of the pool building process is the excavation, carefully considering any drainage and site conditions. Unlike competitors, who hire an excavation contractor for half a day, Arista believes in a thorough excavation. This additional time spent compacting and grading results in a more solid decking surface that is less likely to separate from the pool due to shifting or settling. This extra care during the excavation phase sets the quality standards for the rest of the construction process.
Next, ironworkers fabricate the steel reinforcement cage by bending and tying steel rebar. A grid pattern is used to strengthen the gunite pool shell. Typical swimming pool companies will use only a 3/8" rebar to cut corners and trim their costs. At Arista we use superior 1/2" rebar through the entire pool and add a four nexus bond beam which quadruples rebar in the areas of highest stress. The steel grade used by Arista also has a high tensile strength which increases durability. Competitors use a softer, lower grade steel. While inexpensive and lucrative for those builders, this inferior product compromises the strength and integrity of the pool. It often goes unnoticed for years before the instability and weak structure of the installation becomes apparent. The quality materials and processes used in Arista’s pool construction are proven to stand up to the harsh winters of Pennsylvania.

Water Features
Report
From simple sprays to waterfalls tumbling over enormous boulders, moving water is, well, moving. Its mood-altering effect can range from soothing to jaw-dropping. Not every backyard has the space for pool water features reminiscent of Niagara Falls, and that is okay. A little bit of water can go a long way.

We have loved working with Arista from our first meeting with Michael to design our pool. We did our homework in choosing a pool company. We really liked the family feel of Arista. Mike helped us navigate our township zoning meeting so that we could put in the pool we had designed. We were beyond exited when the dig day finally arrived. Everyone that arrived to the house was very professional and friendly.
They always engaged our children and let them feel like part of the process. Mike, Nick, and Lowell were so knowledgeable and willing to answer our questions and provide explanations of what was going on. Now that our pool is done, we miss having the crews at our house on a regular basis. People have stopped at our house throughout the entire process and complemented how clean the site was kept, the speed of completion, and how beautiful the end product is. Neighbors continually say it should be in a magazine.
The pool has turned out better than I could've imagined. I would recommend Arista without reservation. Edit: I would not recommend using their fence company. I wrote the original review prior to the fence install. They have been a complete nightmare, are going to cost us more money to grade and seed/sod in the spring, and the fence still isn't right after coming back twice. It's been two months since install and they still have not completely fixed the issues. To know everything, look up reviews for Elegant Fence.

I want to start by saying we did not get a pool with Arista. We went with an above ground pool due to cost. I wanted to leave a review on my experiance with Nick and Arista though. From the very first phone call to me emailing Nick to let him know our decision it was nothing but an excellent experiance. Nick answered ALL of our question with great detail and knowledge. This is an exceptional company and Nick was wonderful. You will be treated very well if you go with Arista. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a pool put in.

From the very first meeting until the final day of pool construction - my husband and I couldn't have been happier, with not only the general construction of our pool, but the knowledge of everyone involved. We were walked through each step and never had any concerns throughout the process. The communication that Arista provides throughout the entire process, surpasses ANY contractor or business we have worked with in the past.
They always did what they said they were going to do when they said they were going to do it and for us that's HUGE. We have recommended Arista to several people and will continue to because we truly believe they're the best in the business! Huge thanks to Mike and Lowell for taking care of us through this process!

We had an extremely positive experience working with Arista from beginning to the end. Everyone, from management to office staff to project managers and workers are professional, friendly, informative and helpful. In this type of process, you don't know what you don't know. Our project managers helped us to anticipate design and usabililty ideas that we had not thought of.
With their guidance we have the backyard oasis that we have always wanted. Our entire project which involved: ripping down and disposing of a HUGE deck, extracting trees and bushes (and keeping some of them healthy enough to replant), pool placement and installation, stamped concrete decking, area for pool house, and firepit and sitting area, was all done in just under 8 weeks. It was unbelievable to watch the daily progress. I wholeheartedly recommend Arista for your dream pool.

Mike and his crew made our saltwater pool in 2015. Best customer service you will ever get! They did our pool while we were in Hawaii for my brother passing. Tough time for our family. We never had to worry about our home or pool construction. Pool was expensive but you get what you pay for. I recommend them highly! You will be happy with the results.
I only use them to get work done or get ahold of warranting department. We have the latest pool slide that is the hit of the Party. We will be building another pool in the second home on the property. We will wait patiently while they are ver busy. Like I said what we spent. worth every!

Arista installed my pool in the spring / summer of 2013. The construction of the pool was amazing! The use of more caging and thicker walls will ensure less maintenance in the future. We love our pool. The owners /sales were upfront about all extra costs; which we of course had. It cost extra to dig deeper for a diving board-we were told about that.
We were also told that we might have to pay extra to put gravel down if it was a rainy season and the ground was too wet. The reason for the 4 stars is they were slow to get back to you, but once I had the owner's cell phone number it was better. I think there could of been a better guarantee on the seeding.

What a pleasure to work with this company! They build a quality product and give so much attention to design and detail. I was so impressed with how they took our vision and created a dream pool just for us! Along the way all our questions and concerns were addressed and we could not be happier with the finished product. Thanks Mike and Mike for all the personal attention, and a shout-out to Lowell and Paul as well, I will highly recommend you to anyone interested in building a pool!

We can't say enough about our overall experience with Arista Spa and Pools. From the initial meeting through to the fill day everything exceeded our expectations. I did a lot of research up front, interviewed three companies and heard all the horror stories about empty promises. Arista actually delivered our pool in time despite a month break due to the Covid stoppage.
Under promise, over deliver. That's Arista in a nutshell. Mike, Mike, Paul and Lowell were on site every day and Teri was amazing from a business/process perspective. The entire crew worked relentlessly to get the job done, but never sacrificing true craftsmanship. Arista takes this personally, as if it's their home and that came out start to finish. Thanks Arista for transforming our backyard to the amazing family oasis we wanted!

We are repeat customers! Arista installed our first gunite pool, which we loved for over a decade and then we moved. We called Arista again and they just completed our new vinyl liner pool! Mike had his hands full with us since we were very particular about equipment and location and details. Mike is responsive and flexible. The entire crew was polite and considerate. The installation was very fast and answered all of our questions and had no problems making any requested adjustments. Looking forward to many years in the new pool!

Arista built our pool in Glen Mills Pa four years ago and they were the best and I would not trust any others. Mike to this date touches base with us to see if we are happy. Nick is down and dirty and hands on with his people. DO NOT TRUST YOUR SAVINGS AND INVESTMENTS with any other company. We will give them a reference anytime.

"What a team! This has got to be the best, most professional, reliable, friendly company I have ever dealt with. I want to express my sincere thanks for the excellent job your employees did building our Arista Pool. It's very comforting for us to know that there are still companies out there that know what customer service and satisfaction are.'m impressed! I've been in the contracting business for 20 years and I don't think I have ever seen a more professional operation than ARISTA. From start to finish. " JF, Longwood, Pa

Buyer beware.they don't call you back. They'll try to charge you exhorbitant fees and they're very sneaky. The pool sales guy even hired his buddies to do some landscaping for us and he cut out the owner who owns a landscaping company affiliated with the pool company. This was all around shady.his buddies never even finished the job and there were a lot of broken promises. DO NOT trust this pool builder.

We absolutely love the end product and are enjoying it .We are so pleased with our fabulous pool. Everyone who comes admires it and we advertise and recommend you highly.The quality of your work is apparent. Your concern to make everything just right is appreciated.

Beach entry is great.

I can't say enough good things about Arista Pools and the joy our pool has brought into our lives. Having relocated from out of state we had to rely on internet reviews to decide who to have in our home to interview, we where very impressed with their feedback and now its easy to see why. !! Most companies seemed more focused on bad-mouthing the other companies instead of listening to our needs, Arista was the exact opposite focusing on what they do better than everyone.!!
We honestly changed our minds many times during the design phase and where unsure of what we really wanted. The salesman was amazing and very patient with us, always offering helpful advice and feedback on our questions. He took us to visit completed pools and projects under construction to show us how they do what they do and why. !! Our project was very extensive and most companies we met with where referring us to other companies to handle our tree removal , fence and hardscaping. Arista included all that in the pricing and supervised every phase.
Our township is very difficult to deal with and more than once Arista went to bat for us and saved us on engineers fee's and red tape. The experience and professionalism they bring to the table was amazing and refreshing. Thank you so much Mike , Scott and Nick for a job well done!

We had a great experience with Arista. They completed the pool very quickly, explained each part of the process thoroughly, and only collected money for each part that was completed or about to be completed. I had both owners cell phone numbers and texted or called them frequently with questions. They were very responsive and handled our indecisiveness very well.
The crews were polite and respectful. And at the end they gave a book with all of our warranties already filled out and all the manuals explaining each and every part of the pool maintenance process. A number of our neighbors had terrible experiences with other companies. We felt very fortunate that we choose Arista.
