How Much Does a Pool Cost in Stoughton?
Most fiberglass pool installations in Stoughton range from $50,000 to $130,000, depending on pool size, backyard access, soil conditions, and the features you choose. Stoughton is one of the best values in Dane County for pool installation -- property costs and contractor rates are more affordable here than in the western Madison suburbs, meaning more of your budget goes directly into the pool, patio, and landscaping.
Stoughton lots tend to be generous, especially in the neighborhoods along the Yahara River and on the south side of town. Soil conditions are generally good -- a mix of loam and sandy soil with decent drainage. Properties closer to the river may have higher water tables, which we evaluate during your free site assessment to ensure the right installation approach.
Our pricing follows a simple $1,500 per linear foot rule so you can budget accurately from day one. For a city with Stoughton's charm, community spirit, and proximity to Madison, a backyard pool is one of the best lifestyle upgrades you can make.
