We are beyond happy with our new pool and backyard setup. Ancient City Pools was fantastic to work with from design to completion — always responsive and professional. The pool decking by St. Augustine Pavers was the perfect finishing touch and really made the entire project stand out. The quality of work from both companies shows, and we’ve gotten so many compliments already. Highly recommend this team!

If you are considering building a pool, I would highly recommend Ancient City Pools.They were professional, knowledge, and reliable every step of the way. They delivered everything within the time frame they promised and told us exactly what to expect each week. We were told 6 weeks to finish the pool and it was completed in exactly 6 weeks. Our pool is absolutely beautiful and is exactly what we wanted!

Kyle and his team build a beautiful pool . As contractor who is a supporting vendor his build schedule and organization allows both my company and the customer to have a great experience during the build and finish process. Pleasure to work with and be associated with such a professional company. Kyle brings detail, creative/quality designs and responsive on time builds to an industry that is filled with holes in the ground. Highly recommend Kyle and Ancient City Pools and Design.

Amazing! Kyle and his team of professionals delivered on every level. We love our new pool and can’t wait to use it once the water warms up with the heater/chiller unit. We will post photos shortly.

We initially signed with a different pool builder, but after we spoke with Kyle we decided to switch to Ancient City. They build a superior quality pool with a thicker concrete shell than other companies. It was clear that they knew what they were doing, and cared about our project. Elmer never miscommunicated during the build, always answered any questions immediately, and was always on time when he said he would be. Our pool was completed in 7.5 weeks despite constant summer raining. They also quoted us the best price out of 7 different builders for a HIGHER quality pool. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking to build a pool in the duval/Saint Johns area.

A huge thank you to Kyle, the owner, and Elmer, the project manager. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and steady guidance made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. They were patient with our questions, provided clear updates, and genuinely cared about getting everything just right.

I am absolutely thrilled with the work completed by Kyle and his crew at Ancient City Pools and Design! They installed a pool at a new-construction home I had listed, and it turned out gorgeous—a true showstopper! The design, quality, and attention to detail were top-notch. It added incredible value to the property and wowed every potential buyer who saw it, including the family who bought the home. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ancient City Pools and Design exceeded all our expectations from start to finish. Their team is professional, creative, and truly committed to quality craftsmanship.

Wow! Ancient City Pools absolutely met and exceeded all our expectations. We are so happy with our pool, patio, and enclosure. The color came out just as described and pictured. All our questions were promptly answered. The start to finish timeline was met. There was no stress in the process. ACP knows what they are doing. Everyone hears about all the pool building horror stories, no worries here. Pool completed in a timely manner and minimal impact on the yard. ACP has been around for decades and you can visit their design center and offices whenever you have a question. We highly recommend Ancient City Pools and Design. It’s was a big investment and we are glad we went with Ancient City.

We are beyond grateful to Kyle and Elmer at Ancient City Pools and Designs — they are truly the only team you want to build your pool.
From the very beginning, they walked us through every step with patience and clarity. No question was too small, and they always made time to respond thoughtfully. Thanks to their dedication and hard work, our perfect pool was completed in just about five weeks. It was finished on time, passed every inspection on the first try, and the customer service we received was nothing short of extraordinary.
We can’t thank them enough for making this such a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Ancient City pools is the way to go! From my first inquiry, Kyle responded timely and thoroughly. I had met with about a half dozen other pool builders beforehand and I was still undecided regarding which company to do business with, evaluating pool builder pros and cons. I was very organized with a folder for each company, I had a standard list of questions that I asked each one so I knew I was comparing apples to apples, etc… Kyle was legitimately interested in making my vision come to reality. Not once did he try to upsell me. In fact, I was the one asking him to adjust and customize this and that. He took time to LISTEN and he allowed me time in the showroom to let my creativity work. While in the beginning stages, I would have an idea and would email him. He almost always called me soon afterwards to discuss what I had in mind so he could better understand what options to email me back with. The online payments were easy. They stayed on schedule, even through holidays. Dig date was Nov. 11th and my fill date was January 11th. During the messy construction periods, Elmer and Kyle would answer any questions I had, and address any worries I had. I am IN LOVE with my pool and do not ever plan to move. If I do, I would use Ancient City Pools again, without hesitation.

Ancient City Pools delivers exceptional customer service! Even though they didn’t install our pool, they went above and beyond to help resolve an issue caused by another pool company. What took me two months and several frustrating phone calls with the other company was resolved with just one call to Ancient City. If you’re thinking about building a pool, go with a company that truly cares about its customers and has a reputation you can trust. Thank you, Ancient City Pools, for being so amazing!

We are so glad that we built our family pool with Kyle at Ancient City Pools and Design. We called Kyle to request a quote and he, by far, was the most informative and patient pool contractor we spoke with. On our first call, Kyle told us about how he builds pool (concrete type, strength, thickness, plaster type, etc) and was very detailed and thorough. He offered to come out to our house to see our yard and offer a more personalized estimate for the pool we were looking to build. Kyle helped us brainstorm ideas and then sent a design. He was more than willing to work with the changes we had and his turn around time was great. There was never any pressure to sign or make a quick decision, which we appreciated!
We signed our contract with Kyle and were promptly put into permitting. Kyle has a beautiful showroom where you get to pick your colors, tiles, etc. While picking colors, we met Elmer, who oversees the construction process. Elmer is detailed and communicative! They told us what would be happening during each step and what to expect. It was nice to be able to send them a quick text if I had a question. They never made us feel like an inconvenience. Kyle promised us a 6 week turnaround time from the start of the dig to the time we were filling the pool with water. Sure enough, he stuck to that promise!
Kyle builds highly quality pools in a quick timeframe and at a competitive price. We would happily recommend to anyone that they build they’re pool with Kyle at Ancient City Pools and Design!

Kyle and all the staff at Ancient City were complete professionals! They were extremely thorough, helpful, easy to reach and genuinely concerned with our project and all aspects of the pool from design to construction to understanding maintenance. The price of the pool was very competitive and I highly, highly recommend them!

Ancient City Pools was absolutely amazing! Kyle and Elmer were incredible to work with. They not only communicated the entire time, but they were actually on site to manage the project. The turn around time cannot be beat….6 weeks from design to jumping in the pool. They returned every call, answered every question and checked in along the way. Ancient City Pools is 5 stars!

Well I can’t say enough good things about Ancient City Pools, Kyle, Elmer and the rest of the team. From concept inception to completion these caring professionals made sure to set proper expectations and manage those expectations throughout the process. Their proactive communication kept us aware and understanding of every step in the process. Everything they promised, they delivered upon. Throughout the process they were and continue to this day to be available for any questions, support we may need. I recommend them without reservation.

We can’t say enough good things about Ancient City Pools! We’ve been dying for a pool every summer for the last ten years, but couldn’t find anyone who actually recommended their pool contractor. Complaints were consistent about lack of communication, length of time to complete the project and post installation issues. A friend recommended Kyle and after our initial consult we knew we found a trustworthy company. Kyle is personable, honest, and a wealth of knowledge. He also has relationships with trades that complement a new pool project. We wanted to relocate the exterior AC unit to create more deck space and Kyle had a contact for us. Same thing for electrical work. The Ancient City Pools team broke ground the week after Thanksgiving and water was in the pool by January 15th. We were given a timeline when we signed our contract and they delivered a pool in 6 weeks as promised with clear, consistent communication along the way. These guys were a joy to work with, we highly recommend them!

Great product, great price and the fastest pool builder around. We have friends who had the same dig date as us, we have been swimming for 2 weeks and they don’t even have water yet.

Kyle and the team did a great job on our pool. We are extremely satisfied. Kyle is great at keeping you in the loop and staying on schedule. Kyle and the team made the process very easy. We would highly recommend them. They
have the combination of quality work and great price .
