Our Process
Design and build your
gunite pool.
The process of creating your perfect gunite pool starts with thoughtful planning and skilled craftsmanship. From the initial design and permit approvals to excavation, rebar installation, and the final details, every phase of construction is carried out with precision to ensure your pool is nothing short of exceptional.
Consultation and Design
The journey to your dream pool starts with a detailed consultation where we listen to your ideas, needs, and vision. Our team works closely with you to design a pool that complements your landscape and adheres to local regulations. Once we finalize the design, we'll take care of securing the required permits and approvals to begin construction.
Excavation
Next, we use heavy machinery to dig the pool area, carefully following the dimensions from the design. This step creates a solid foundation for your pool, ensuring everything is perfectly aligned for a structurally sound result.
Reinforcement and Plumbing
We then install a steel rebar framework to reinforce the pool structure. This provides stability and supports the gunite application. During this phase, we also install the plumbing system for water circulation and filtration to keep your pool running smoothly.
Applying Gunite
Gunite, a durable blend of cement, sand, and water, is sprayed to form the pool shell. This versatile material can be shaped to suit any design, allowing for creative features and personalized touches in your pool.

Finishing Touches
Once the gunite has cured, we turn our attention to the pool's interior finish.
Filling the Pool
After construction is complete, we fill the pool with water and balance the chemicals to make certain it’s safe and ready for use. Our team conducts thorough testing to verify that all systems are functioning properly. After a brief settling period, your new pool is ready to transform your backyard.
Ongoing Care
To keep your pool in pristine condition, regular maintenance is essential. Gunite pools require consistent care to prevent algae buildup and maintain clear, clean water. With regular cleaning, chemical checks, and professional servicing, your pool will continue to bring joy and relaxation for many years to come.
