Bergen County Pool Builders — Custom Gunite Pools by Blu Sol
Local Expertise, Exceptional Craftsmanship
Bergen County is home to some of Northern New Jersey's most beautiful properties — and some of its most discerning homeowners. At Blu Sol Pools, we have built custom gunite pools across Bergen County for over two decades, working with families in Ridgewood, Franklin Lakes, Alpine, Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Wyckoff, Mahwah, and throughout the county's most sought-after neighborhoods.
We understand Bergen County. We know the permit processes in Franklin Lakes and Ridgewood. We know the soil conditions in Alpine and the lot constraints in Ho-Ho-Kus. We know what the HOA in Saddle River requires. That local knowledge — built over 20 years of work in this county — is what separates a smooth pool build from a frustrating one.
Every Blu Sol pool in Bergen County begins with a personal consultation with our owner Jeff. We visit your property, assess your space and terrain, and work with you to design a pool that fits your home's architecture, your family's needs, and your vision for outdoor living.

Frequently Asked Questions — Building a Pool in Bergen County
How long does it take to get a pool permit in Bergen County NJ?
Permit timelines in Bergen County vary by municipality. Straightforward approvals in towns like Oakland or Mahwah can take 3–4 weeks. More complex applications in towns with stricter zoning — like Alpine or Saddle River — may take 6–10 weeks. Blu Sol handles the entire permit process and has established relationships with building departments across Bergen County.
Do you build pools on sloped lots in Bergen County?
Yes. Many Bergen County properties — particularly in Franklin Lakes, Wyckoff, and Alpine — feature natural topography that requires thoughtful engineering. Gunite's structural flexibility makes it ideal for sloped sites. We assess every lot during the initial consultation and engineer the design accordingly.
Can you build a pool near a wetlands buffer in Bergen County?
Bergen County has significant wetlands and DEP buffer zones that affect pool placement on many properties. Blu Sol has extensive experience navigating DEP permits and setback requirements. We assess your property's environmental constraints early in the process to avoid surprises.
Do you offer custom designs for unique Bergen County backyards?
Absolutely. Every Blu Sol pool is a custom design. Whether you're in a historic Ridgewood neighborhood or a sprawling Alpine estate, we tailor shape, depth, finishes, and features to your landscape and lifestyle. Our 3D renderings bring your vision to life before construction begins.
