Certified Little Pool Co Dealer

A Pool For Every Backyard

We’re a certified Little Pool Co dealer serving the Chicagoland area, and these pools have become one of our favorite things to install. Each one is a single molded fiberglass shell — no steel, no concrete — that arrives fully plumbed and ready to plug in.

Because the shells are self-supporting, they can go in-ground, partially in-ground or fully above ground with little to no excavation. Sloped yard, tight side access, small city lot — there’s a pool that fits it. Want to go deeper on the pools themselves? Explore the full Little Pool Co range.

Why HLM

The Dealer Matters As Much As The Pool

  • Licensed & Insured

    HLM is a licensed, insured Illinois contractor — your pool is built to the same standard as every patio and retaining wall we put in.

  • Our Own Crews

    Every install is done by HLM’s in-house crews, start to finish. You never coordinate a second contractor.

  • Designed From Your Lot

    The 3D design is built from your plot survey and elevation certificate, so what you approve is what gets built.

  • You'll Know When We're Coming

    We text you the crews ETA on work mornings — no contractors window, no waiting around.

  • Hayward Equipment

    Pumps, filters, heaters, salt chlorination and automation are Hayward, one of the most widely serviced pool brands in the country. We source it through SEP Supply House so parts and support stay local.

How It Works

From First Call To First Swim

No months-long construction project. The pool arrives finished — the work is in planning it right.

  1. Book a consultation

    We walk your property together, talk through needs versus wants, and figure out which pool actually fits your yard and your budget.

  2. Choose your pool

    Pick the shape and size, choose your shell color, then customize with cladding, coping and accessories like heating and lighting.

  3. Plan and prep

    We refine the site plan, pull together the plot survey and elevation certificate your town requires, and once approval is in, coordinate the base pad and electrical hookup.

  4. Delivery day

    The pool arrives fully plumbed and ready to place. Set in position, connect power, fill it up.

  5. Finish the backyard

    This is where a full-service landscape company earns its keep — patio, plantings, lighting and lawn, completed by the same crew.

Common Questions

Pool Installation Questions

Will a plunge pool fit my yard?

Almost certainly. Plunge models run about 9 to 12 feet, Relax about 13 to 21, and Play around 20 — and because the shells are self-supporting, above-ground and partial installs work where digging isn’t practical. Sloped yards, tight side access and small city lots are exactly what these pools were designed for.

How is a fiberglass pool different from a concrete pool?

It arrives as one finished piece. The shell is molded fiberglass with a smooth finish — no steel, no concrete, no weeks of forming and curing in your backyard. It shows up fully plumbed and ready to plug in, so it can be set, connected and filled the same day it’s delivered, and Little Pool Co backs the shell with a 25-year structural and 7-year interior surface warranty. Options like heating, chilling, LED lighting and automatic sanitation are built into the order rather than bolted on later — and an automatic Coverstar safety cover can be added for protection and energy savings.

What does a Little Pool cost?

It depends on the model, the install style, and how much of the backyard we finish around it — an above-ground Plunge is a very different project from an in-ground Play with a full patio. The consultation and estimate are free, and you’ll leave with a real number. Call or text +1 (630) 509-0221.

What's the warranty?

Two layers. Little Pool Co backs every shell with a 25-year structural warranty and a 7-year interior surface warranty. The work we build around it is covered by HLM — our design-build projects carry their own warranty, and plant installations are backed for a full year. Full warranty details are available on Little Pool Co’s site.

Can you handle everything around the pool too?

That’s the point of hiring us. Patio, retaining walls, drainage, plantings and lighting are designed with the pool from day one and installed by our own crews — you never hire a second contractor to finish what the pool company started.

When should we start planning?

Earlier than you’d think. The 3D design takes one to two weeks, and then your local building authority has to approve the plans — that timeline is theirs, not ours. If you want to be swimming next summer, call or text +1 (630) 509-0221 this fall.

What pool equipment do you install?

Hayward. Pumps, filters, heaters, salt systems and automation all come from one manufacturer, which keeps the system simple to run and simple to service. We buy it through SEP Supply House, our pool equipment supplier, so replacement parts are close by rather than special-ordered.
