Inground pool installation in Ajax
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 to support the pool deck.
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.
We are a landscaping and hardscaping company, so the interlock pool surround, enclosure fencing, grading and fresh sod are part of the same project and the same itemized quote.

Process
How pool installation works in Ajax
Site visit and 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 and utility locates
The pool enclosure permit is coordinated with the municipality, and Ontario Dig Authority (formerly Ontario One Call) locates are completed before the excavator arrives.
Excavation and base
Dug to design depth with a compacted stone bed under the shell. Spoil is hauled off site or reused for grading where it makes sense.
Shell, backfill and plumbing
The vinyl liner or fiberglass shell is set level, plumbing is run, and clean stone backfill is compacted in lifts to support the pool deck.
Surround, fence and sod
An interlock or concrete pool deck, enclosure fencing that meets the by-law, final grading and fresh sod.
Permits
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.
