Milton Stone / Custom Pools
Custom Pool Builder
Serving the GTA
Milton Stone designs and builds custom pools across the Greater Toronto Area, bringing concrete, fiberglass and vinyl pools together with patios, planting and outdoor living. From Oakville and Burlington to Mississauga and Toronto, the starting point is your property and the way you want to use your backyard.
Designed as a whole
A pool that belongs to your backyard
A successful pool project leaves room for life outside the water. The route from the house, a comfortable dining area, places to sit, planting and service access all influence the layout. A compact suburban garden and a large estate require different decisions, even when the wish list looks similar.
We begin with priorities: swimming, family use, entertaining, visual impact or a quieter retreat. Then we review the site and coordinate pool placement with finished levels, surrounding paving and the landscape. Explore pool architecture for the design stage and backyard renovation planning for the wider setting.

Concrete pools
Consider concrete when shape, depth transitions or integrated features are central to the design. Discuss the finish, structural design and construction sequence as part of the full scope.
Explore concrete poolsFiberglass pools
Compare available shell sizes and layouts against the usable backyard. Delivery access, equipment positioning and the surrounding deck are important early decisions.
Explore fiberglass poolsVinyl pools
Review the proposed shape, liner finish and step arrangement alongside the garden plan. Clarify the pool system and future maintenance expectations in the proposal.

Oakville
Coordinate your pool with an established garden or a complete backyard renewal. Retained planting, patio connections and views from the home help determine placement.

Resolve the pool, enclosure, paving and access together. Share current photographs and available property information to begin a site-specific discussion.
Burlington landscape and pool planningToronto
Review delivery and excavation routes before committing to a layout. In a compact backyard, circulation and room for everyday use matter as much as pool dimensions.

Plan around existing grades, neighbouring sightlines and the outdoor spaces you want to retain. Connect the pool with dining, privacy and planting in one brief.

For projects beyond the GTA, share your municipality and proposed scope. Site conditions, construction access and the overall landscape determine the appropriate next steps.

A pool-only figure does not describe a complete backyard. Compare proposals using the same scope: design, excavation, pool system, equipment, utility work, surrounding paving, planting and any structures or optional features. Ask how access constraints, soil conditions and reinstatement are addressed.
Our Oakville pool page includes package guidance to begin the conversation. Your written proposal should confirm current pricing and the inclusions for your site. Share a preferred investment range early so the design can prioritize what matters most.
From first conversation to construction
- Define the brief. Send your location, photographs, survey if available, preferred pool use and investment range.
- Review the property. Discuss access, existing features, levels and the relationship between pool and landscape.
- Coordinate the design. Resolve the pool type, patios, coping, planting and optional outdoor rooms. Identify documentation and specialist coordination required for the scope.
- Confirm the proposal. Agree on inclusions, exclusions, responsibilities and timing before construction begins.
Requirements vary by municipality and property. Confirm the applicable approvals for the proposed work before scheduling construction.
Complete the setting
Explore pool coping, pool decks, outdoor living, cabanas and pergolas and landscape lighting. Coordinating these elements early helps the finished backyard function as one place.
Custom pool questions
Which type of pool should I choose?
Start with your desired shape, swimming space, finish, access and overall budget. Fiberglass offers manufactured shell shapes, vinyl uses a liner system and concrete allows extensive customization. The best fit depends on your property and the complete project scope.
What should a custom pool quotation include?
Ask for a written breakdown of the pool system, excavation, equipment, surrounding paving, drainage work, enclosure coordination and reinstatement. Confirm which design work, approvals, utilities and optional features are included and which are separate.
Can Milton Stone plan the landscape around the pool?
Yes. Pool placement, patios, coping, planting, privacy, lighting and outdoor living can be coordinated in one landscape plan. Establish the overall layout before building finished surfaces.
How long does a pool project take?
Timing depends on design decisions, required approvals, access, selected pool system, material availability and the surrounding construction. A project schedule should be established for your specific scope rather than assumed from a general installation estimate.
Can the pool and backyard be built in stages?
Often, yes. Plan the final arrangement first and identify access, drainage and future service routes. Stage the work so later construction does not require avoidable removal of finished paving or planting.
