“Each one of our custom gunite swimming pool projects is designed to meet your personal taste and enhance your backyard environment.”

A gunite swimming pool is a pool industry term for a concrete pool. Gunite is a specialized make of concrete that is perfect for swimming pool construction because it can withstand earth shifts as well as climatic elements. Gunite is a concrete grout mix that is blown into place. Because concrete strengthens and cures with age, they are the most ideal swimming pool type. The competitors of gunite swimming pools (fiberglass and vinyl swimming pools) prematurely age due to exposure to sunlight and are extremely vulnerable to minor and major mechanical problems. Gunite swimming pools are not affected by sunlight erosion. The only real maintenance of a concrete swimming pool is re-plastering of the interior of the inground pool basin every 15 to 20 years as the plaster does dissolve into the swimming pool water over time.

Gunite inground swimming pools can be built in any shape and size you want to create a truly one of a kind pool experience and environment for your home. In addition to the versatility and stability of gunite, these pools can accommodate a vast variety of extras including spas, customized lighting, waterfalls, and natural rock features. Each inground gunite pool we design is custom designed with you in mind to fit your landscape and your home style. Gunite pools are finished with pneumatically applied concrete. Once this process is complete, our builders complete the deck, coping, and walkway areas.
