— Why Ocala homeowners choose us

Built here. For here.

Every pool we build in Ocala is permitted, engineered and warrantied by the same in-house team. Not a franchise. Not a lead broker.

Marion County permit specialists

Our in-house permitting team files directly with Marion County Building & Zoning. Most Ocala permits are issued inside 3 weeks — we handle the back-and-forth so you don't.

Clay-soil engineering

Ocala sits on reactive clay and karst limestone. Our structural engineer tunes rebar schedule, dowel spacing and gunite depth per lot — not a cookie-cutter spec.

Equestrian & estate scale

Infinity edges, 60-foot lap pools, outdoor kitchens with pizza ovens, and ozone/UV sanitation for ranch guesthouses — we build to the full scope Ocala estates expect.

Hurricane-rated enclosures

Our screen rooms meet Marion County wind-load spec with upgraded fasteners and SuperGutter — so your enclosure stays put during the summer storm cycle.

— Neighborhoods we build in

From one end of Ocala to the other.

Our crews are driving Ocala every week. If your subdivision isn't on this list, just ask — chances are we've built there too.

Lifestyle Pool and Spa did an amazing job on our pool, delivering everything they promised and SUPER fast! Our pool was started the Monday before Thanksgiving and we were in it by Valentine's day!

“30 days from dig to filling is unheard of in the industry.”

We recently had an inground pool installed by Lifestyle Pools and Spas in Tampa, and they did an amazing job! The team was professional, detail-oriented, and super helpful.

“Highly recommend them for anyone looking for quality pool installation!”

Lifestyle Pool and Spa began construction on October 30th. I was filling the final product 4 weeks later. The process was relaxed with no pressure.

“I could not be happier with the outcome.”

— Common questions

Ocala, answered.

How much does a custom pool cost in Ocala?

+
A base inground freeform in Marion County runs $65K–$85K installed with a Pebble Tec finish, equipment, pump and starter deck. Add $18K–$35K for a spa, $8K–$15K for a sun shelf, and $20K–$45K for a screen enclosure. We give fixed-price contracts after the free design visit — no surprise change orders.

What does Marion County require for a pool permit?

+
Marion County requires signed, sealed structural plans, an engineered site plan showing setbacks (10' side, 7.5' rear typical), a drainage statement, and a safety-barrier affidavit. We prepare and submit everything on your behalf.

Do you build pools on horse farms and large acreage?

+
Yes — we specialize in them. We bring in our own excavation crew, water tanker (so we don't drain your well), and have built pools up to 60 feet long with lap lanes, infinity edges and detached pool houses.

How long does a Pebble Tec resurface take in Ocala?

+
A full strip-and-refinish on an average Ocala residential pool takes 3 to 5 weeks: chip-out, tile and coping replacement, bond-coat, Pebble Tec application, acid wash, chem balance and startup. We give you a day-by-day calendar before we start.

Will Florida clay crack my new pool?

+
Only if it's engineered wrong. We design around Marion's reactive clay with deeper footers, additional vertical steel in the beam, and a 10"–12" gunite floor minimum. Our 10-year structural warranty backs it up.
