Inground pool installation in Oshawa
Michael Durham Landscaping installs inground vinyl liner and fiberglass pools in Oshawa, the largest city in Durham Region, directly east of 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.
We work across established neighbourhoods and the newer subdivisions in north Oshawa, where lot sizes, grading and excavator access vary from block to block.
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 Oshawa
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
City of Oshawa pool enclosure permit
The City of Oshawa requires a Pool Enclosure Permit for any pool, hot tub or pond deeper than 60 cm (24 in). The enclosure, including the gate, must be between 1.5 m and 2.2 m high, gaps beneath or beside the fence cannot exceed 100 mm, and gates must be self-closing and self-latching with the latch on the pool side near the top.
Requirements are set by the City of Oshawa and can change. We confirm the current rules for your address during the site visit and coordinate the permit before excavation.
