Direct Answer: Land-Con Pools handles vinyl pool construction and vinyl liner pool installation from excavation through final startup, with most projects completed in 3 to 6 weeks. Vinyl liner pools typically cost $40,000 to $80,000 installed, and hold up especially well through GTA winters since the flexible liner and wall system doesn’t expand and contract the way concrete does.
At Land-Con Pools, we strive to create a backyard getaway for you according to your specifications. As a custom vinyl pool construction Toronto homeowners trust, we specialize in the design, construction, and vinyl pool installation Toronto properties need — building everything from scratch, including the concrete footing, wall panels, and a customized vinyl pool liner. Our pools are gravel-backfilled to provide proper drainage, so you can rest assured about construction integrity and results that hold up through Toronto’s freeze-thaw winters.
Whether you’re comparing vinyl pool toronto options, researching vinyl pools cost, or simply looking for a reliable swimming pool vinyl liner installer, our team handles every step of vinyl liner pool construction in-house.
Why Vinyl Liner Pools Suit Toronto Backyards
Vinyl liner pools remain one of the most popular inground pool options in the GTA, and cold-climate performance is a big part of why. Concrete pools are prone to cracking as the ground freezes and thaws each winter; a steel or polymer wall vinyl liner pool flexes instead of cracking, which means less structural risk over the pool’s lifetime in a climate like Toronto’s. Combined with a lower upfront cost than concrete and a smooth, non-abrasive liner surface, it’s a practical choice for most backyard sizes and shapes.
Our Vinyl Pool Construction and Installation Process
We follow a systematic vinyl liner pool installation process to make the entire build hassle-free:
- Excavation: we dig for the pool as per the desired size and shape, sized roughly three feet larger than the pool’s perimeter to allow for wall installation and backfill.
- Assembling the wall panels: walls made of steel, aluminum, or polymer are assembled and secured with braces.
- Concrete footing: once the wall panels are in place, we pour a concrete footing around the outside perimeter to form the structure.
- Plumbing: plumbing lines are installed around the pool’s perimeter, connecting to the pump and filter system.
- Base preparation: the exposed earth beneath the pool is covered with a smooth base layer before the liner goes in.
- Liner installation: the vinyl pool liner is placed, air is removed from beneath it to prevent wrinkles, and holes are cut for lights, jets, and steps.
- Patio and decking: we install decking or patio around the pool once the base beneath it is confirmed firm.
- Startup: we fill the pool, test and balance the water, and clean the filter so it’s ready to swim from day one.
Most vinyl pool construction projects run 3 to 6 weeks from excavation to startup, depending on pool size, backyard access, and permit timelines.
Vinyl Liner Pool Designs and Shapes
Vinyl pool designs offer more shape flexibility than most homeowners expect — from classic rectangles to custom freeform vinyl liner pool shapes with tanning ledges or built-in steps. If you’re deciding on colours, patterns, and finishes for your liner, our guide to vinyl liner pool options, patterns, and colours walks through the full range of design choices, including what separates the best vinyl liner pools from a basic build.
Wall material is a related decision worth understanding before you commit to a design — a steel wall vinyl liner pool, polymer, aluminum, and concrete walls each have different trade-offs for durability and cost. Our steel vs. polymer vs. aluminum vs. concrete wall comparison breaks this down in detail.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions About Vinyl Pool Construction and Installation
What is the benefit of installing a vinyl pool?
Vinyl pools are cost-effective compared to concrete or fiberglass, offer flexible design options, and are easy to maintain. The smooth liner surface is gentle on bare feet and resists algae buildup better than rougher pool finishes.
How long does it take to construct a vinyl pool?
Most vinyl pool construction projects take 3 to 6 weeks from excavation to startup, depending on pool size, design complexity, and the excavation process. Contact our pool specialists for a detailed timeline based on your specifications.
How long do vinyl pools last?
Vinyl swimming pools can last many years with proper care. The liner itself typically needs replacing every 7 to 12 years depending on sun exposure and maintenance, while the structural walls and footing last considerably longer.
Is it possible to construct a vinyl pool for a small backyard?
Yes. We build vinyl pools of various sizes and shapes across Toronto and the GTA, including compact designs suited to smaller lots. See our small backyard pool design ideas for layout inspiration.
What are vinyl pool walls made of?
Vinyl liner pool walls are typically made of steel, polymer, or aluminum, each with different durability and cost trade-offs. See our full wall material comparison linked above for details on which suits your project.
