FAQ: How Much Does a Natural Swimming Pool Cost to Build?

The cost to build a Natural Swimming Pool/Pond depends on the design of the NSP itself (there are many different styles) as well as the intended site (local material costs and availability vary greatly across the US)! 

​Aside from any special site conditions, a basic family-sized NSP (about 50ft overall, with a 30ft swimming area), complete with a wooden jumping pier, underwater wooden wall, starter water plants and built-in biological filtration system, typically costs $65-70K to build (Turn-Key, including all the materials, heavy equipment rental & labor). The materials alone typically cost $30-40K with heavy machinery often totaling in the $8-10K range. The rest of the cost to build is the labor time needed to put it all together. 

Adding a naturalistic waterfall or additional geology around the NSP (one 20T load of large rock from the quarry) adds an average of $10-15K to the overall project cost (materials and labor time combined). Larger, more custom Natural Swimming Pool/Pond construction projects cost anywhere from $70,000 - $150,000 or more depending on the design and local material costs.
