Pool installers serving Ajax
Built on the ground, not just dropped in it.
Michael Durham Landscaping installs inground vinyl liner and fiberglass pools in Ajax, a lakeside town in western Durham Region between Pickering and Whitby. Every install starts with utility locates and a survey review, then excavation to design depth, a compacted stone base under the shell, and clean stone backfill placed in lifts so the pool deck never settles.
Ajax backyards along the lakeshore and in the north end often mean working close to existing fences, sheds and neighbouring property lines. We review your survey, confirm setbacks and plan the excavation route before any equipment arrives.
Because we are a landscaping and hardscaping crew, the interlock pool surround, code-compliant enclosure fencing, grading and fresh sod are part of the same project. You get one quote, one crew, and a finished backyard.
How it works
Pool installation in Ajax, step by step.
Site visit & layout
We measure the yard, review your survey, confirm setbacks and pool enclosure requirements, and mark the pool footprint so you can see it before anything is dug.
Permit & utility locates
Pool enclosure permit coordinated with the municipality and Ontario One Call locates completed before the excavator arrives.
Excavation & base
Dug to design depth with a compacted stone bed under the shell. Spoil hauled off site or reused for grading where it makes sense.
Shell, backfill & plumbing
Vinyl liner or fiberglass shell set level, plumbing run, and clean stone backfill compacted in lifts so the deck never settles.
Surround, fence & sod
Interlock or concrete pool deck, enclosure fencing that meets the by-law, final grading and fresh sod. The backyard is finished when the pool is.
Town of Ajax pool enclosure permit
The Town of Ajax issues residential swimming pool enclosure permits through its By-law Services department. Any pool with a water depth greater than 600 mm must be enclosed by a compliant fence before it is filled, and nothing that could help someone climb the enclosure may be placed against the outside of it.
Requirements are set by the Town of Ajax and can change. We confirm the current rules for your address during the site visit and coordinate the permit before excavation.
Common questions about pool installation in Ajax
Do I need a permit to install a pool in Ajax?
Yes. The Town of Ajax issues residential swimming pool enclosure permits through its By-law Services department. Any pool with a water depth greater than 600 mm must be enclosed by a compliant fence before it is filled, and nothing that could help someone climb the enclosure may be placed against the outside of it.

How long does inground pool installation take in Ajax?
Once the permit is approved, a fiberglass pool typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from excavation to first swim, and a vinyl liner pool 6 to 8 weeks. Spring is the busiest season in Durham Region, so booking in fall or winter secures an earlier install date.
Do you handle the pool surround, fencing and lawn in Ajax too?
Yes. The same crew that excavates and sets the pool builds the interlock or concrete surround, installs enclosure fencing that meets the Town of Ajax by-law, regrades the yard and lays fresh sod.
