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 and construction methods) as well as the intended site (local material costs and availability vary greatly from region to region). Because of these factors, natural pools range widely in price, anywhere from $15 - $300 per square foot (with most falling in the $20 - $80 per square foot range).
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.
