2022 Pinnacle Awards

Liquid Evolution Pools has been disrupting the pool construction market in Scottsdale for some time, and that’s not an easy task. With more existing homes and new construction properties demanding the addition of outdoor living areas and unique luxury pools, business is booming in the area, but for Liquid Evolution Pools, it’s not about numbers. Instead, it’s about creating value on every single job site. 

“We really try to deliver on the value, and it’s definitely a separator for us over other companies in the area. We always deploy the right materials and the right labor and the right effort toward making something great for every single one of our clients. It’s just what we do,” company founder John Smieszek said. “The hardest part is relaying that to the customer and having them understand the difference between our quote and another competitor’s quote.”

Liquid Evolution Pools was founded on high standards, and the industry as a whole doesn’t necessarily share the same commitment. Many companies are simply looking at the bottom line and going with substandard materials or inferior workmanship in favor of focusing on price over value and quality. That’s never the case for Liquid Evolution Pools. 

We hold ourselves to a pretty high set of standards. We’re always educating our employees and our customers. Sometimes having to explain why we want things done a certain way to somebody who has been doing it differently for a long time can be tough, but for us, it’s not negotiable. We are different, and our work speaks for itself.

As you consider your upcoming swimming pool and outdoor space project, think first about value and price. Which is really most important to you? If you would like more information on Liquid Evolution Pools custom luxury pool builders, please contact us at 480.744.2805 or visit https://liquidevolutionpools.com/.

Luxury Pool with Flagstone and Boulders

While the construction can vary, Liquid Evolution Pools is one company that can offer you a dependable timeline, as well as an entirely different approach that means your backyard pool is far more than a simple add-on, it’s an addition to your lifestyle. So, what does a Liquid Evolution Pools luxury custom pool look like from start to finish? Take a peek. 

Phase 1: Planning

This is where Liquid Evolution Pools digs far deeper than any other pool builder in Scottsdale today. They not only look at the needed materials and the job site, but they also spend time with the homeowner, the architect, the landscape architect, and sometimes even the interior designer to understand the vision of the home and create a design that reflects that vision. 

Founder John Smieszek said, “Planning and preparation are key. Once we’ve been awarded a project, we dig deep and go heavy into identifying all of the design intentions, materials, job sites, and the timing of everything. We build a solid plan we can work from so that everyone involved knows where we are and where we can expect to be over the weeks to come.”

Phase 2: Site Prep

Once the plan is in place, the team begins setting up the job site and putting everything in place so construction can begin. With a Liquid Evolution Pools project, the goal is to make certain every subcontractor involved knows exactly what to do. Every subcontractor has been involved in the planning process, and the team meets everyone on-site to answer any questions they may have. 

Smieszek said, “We want to make sure that our plans are precisely executed, so we share our vision with everyone involved. Once the sub-contractors arrive, everything is really organized so they know what role they’re playing. Before we even break ground, we make sure everyone on our team really understands what’s coming.”

Phase 3: Construction

Construction typically begins with excavation, and while it would seem this stage is simple, even here Liquid Evolution Pools works to plan every aspect. 

Smieszek said, “Especially with the first critical pieces, everything is carefully done, all the way down to the rebar. “

Every process might involve questions or changes homeowners need to make, and Liquid Evolution’s goal is always to ensure their clients’ visions are actualized, and that can’t happen without the team on-site routinely. From the initial excavation to the plumbing, Liquid Evolution Pools believes that creating a pool that fits with the homeowner’s goals and the home itself is critical. 

Phase 4: Landscaping

Landscaping work is often dismissed as nearly unimportant in this process, but not every pool company thinks that way. In fact, in an ideal setting, Liquid Evolution integrates landscaping.
