Pool installers serving Whitby
Built on the ground, not just dropped in it.
Michael Durham Landscaping installs inground vinyl liner and fiberglass pools in Whitby, the town directly west of Oshawa and the regional headquarters of Durham. 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.
Whitby properties range from established lots near downtown and the lakeshore to newer builds in Brooklin, where backyards are tighter and excavator access has to be planned around side yards and neighbouring fences. We scope access on the first site visit so there are no surprises on dig day.
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 Whitby, 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 Whitby pool enclosure permit
The Town of Whitby requires a pool enclosure permit before a fence is installed around any swimming pool deeper than 0.6 m. The Town lists a processing time of 5 to 7 business days for the permit application.
Requirements are set by the Town of Whitby 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 Whitby
Do I need a permit to install a pool in Whitby?
Yes. The Town of Whitby requires a pool enclosure permit before a fence is installed around any swimming pool deeper than 0.6 m. The Town lists a processing time of 5 to 7 business days for the permit application. We confirm the current requirements for your address and coordinate the application as part of the project.
How long does inground pool installation take in Whitby?
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 Whitby 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 Whitby by-law, regrades the yard and lays fresh sod.
