Close to home. Considered from the ground up.

A pool should feel connected to its setting, whether your starting point is a garden in Stone Ridge, an established backyard in Kingston or a retreat near Woodstock. We begin with how you move from the house to the water, what you want to preserve and where you want room to gather.

SRL Pools is based in Stone Ridge and works with homeowners across the four-county Hudson Valley region. Our Ulster County planning area includes Stone Ridge, Kingston, Woodstock, New Paltz, Saugerties, Rosendale, Highland and Hurley. Project availability and suitability are confirmed for your address.

Designed around everyday life

A pool that belongs in the garden

Start with the trees, the views and the routes you already use. Pool placement can create a quiet destination without making the rest of the yard feel fragmented. We consider masonry, steps and planting alongside the pool rather than treating them as work to figure out later.

Our woodland project brings together earthmoving, pool construction, stone masonry and carefully layered planting. The photographs show how material, fit and proportion can make separate trades feel like one coherent place.

Local planning · Ulster County

Know the property before choosing the footprint.

For a project in the City of Kingston, the published pool checklist calls for a plot plan showing the pool, equipment and distances to property lines, along with equipment and safety information. That is a useful reminder to plan the whole installation—not just the water. Other Ulster municipalities have their own submission requirements; confirm the correct town, village or city for your address.

Reviewed November 13, 2026. Requirements can change; confirm with the authority responsible for the property. These examples are not county-wide rules.

Before the final design

  • Confirm parcel boundaries, existing structures and the responsible municipality.
  • Review excavation access, delivery routes and equipment placement.
  • Identify known wells, septic systems, utility routes and drainage concerns.
  • Plan pool safety, terraces, planting and any retaining work together.
  • Agree the complete scope, budget and approval sequence.

Useful answers · A clearer next step

Planning your pool in Ulster County.

Should I choose gunite or fiberglass for my Ulster County property?

Choose around the property and your priorities. A Forever Pool offers a shell shaped on site for a custom footprint, depth and finish. Fiberglass starts with a manufactured shell; available dimensions and delivery access must work for the site. We compare both before recommending a direction.

Can a new pool connect to an existing patio or garden?

Yes, that can be part of the design. We review elevations, surface transitions, drainage and the condition of existing work. Keeping a patio is a design goal, not a promise that all existing materials or structures can remain.

What should I prepare for a consultation in Kingston or Woodstock?

Share your project address, a survey if available, backyard photos, preferred dimensions, budget range and timeline. Note known septic or well locations and any narrow gates or access restrictions. Site suitability and service availability are confirmed for the address.

How much should I budget for a new pool?

SRL’s preliminary Forever Pool packages currently start at $65,000 for 10 × 20 feet, $80,000 for 16 × 32 feet and $120,000 for 20 × 40 feet. Upgrades, fencing, decking, landscaping, utility connections and unusual excavation can change the complete project cost. Use our design studio for itemized starting estimates; a written proposal follows site evaluation.

How long does pool construction take?

SRL’s general planning guidelines are around two weeks for a typical fiberglass installation stage after permits and preparations, and three to six months for a gunite pool. Design, approvals, material availability, weather and the surrounding outdoor work can extend the complete project. Your schedule is confirmed individually.

All pricing and timelines are preliminary guidelines. Every property and project is different. Final specifications, exclusions, approvals and pricing are defined in the written proposal.
