Call or text Ondara
Tell us your town, the pool you're picturing, your budget band, and when you'd love to be swimming. Five minutes is plenty.
We match your builder
We line up a licensed New Jersey pool builder who fits your project and your area, and put you together directly.
Design, build, swim
Your builder finalizes the design and price with you, pulls permits, and builds it. You watch it come together — stage by stage, below.
The build
From bare yard to first swim
Keep scrolling — this is how a typical inground pool comes together, stage by stage.
The dig
Excavators carve out your pool's exact shape — this is the day it gets real.
Stage 1
The dig
The yard is marked out and excavators dig the hole to your pool's exact footprint and depth.
Stage 2
The shell goes in
Steel reinforcement and plumbing go in, then the concrete shell is sprayed and cured — the bones of your pool.
Stage 3
Tile & coping
The detail stage. Waterline tile and the stone coping around the edge go on — where the pool starts looking expensive.
Stage 4
The finish
The interior plaster or pebble finish is applied by hand. This is what gives the water its color.
Stage 5
Fill day
The hoses go in and the pool fills for the first time. Equipment starts up and the water gets balanced.
Stage 6
First swim
Deck, landscaping, final walkthrough — then it's yours. Cannonball responsibly.
These photos are illustrative examples of how a typical pool build comes together — they aren't Ondara projects. Ondara is a new company; your pool could be one of our first.

Good questions
Before you call
Does Ondara build the pool itself?
Ondara designs your project with you and matches you with a licensed New Jersey pool builder who constructs it. You get one point of contact up front and a licensed pro on the tools.
What does an inground pool cost?
A full inground pool with basic outdoor living is typically quoted in the $90,000–$120,000 band — simpler projects can come in below it, and larger resort-style builds above it. Your builder confirms the real number after seeing your yard and design.
How does Ondara Care work with a new build?
Every new Ondara pool build includes the first year of Care Essential free. After that it rolls into the paid plan of your choice, fulfilled by a local service crew. Monthly pricing is confirmed with the crew — nothing invented, nothing hidden.
I'm not sure what I want yet. Can I still reach out?
Absolutely — "not sure yet" is a perfectly good pool type. Call or text and we'll talk through shapes, budgets, and timing for your yard.
Ready when you are.
Call, text, or email and you'll reach Ondara directly — tell us your town and the pool you're picturing, and we'll take it from there.
