Custom Pools

Custom Pool Builder in Middle Tennessee

In-ground gunite pools designed around your yard, your family and the way you actually use it.

No Cookie-Cutter Pools.

A custom pool should fit the yard you have, not a page in a catalog. Some families want a sun shelf for lounging and little swimmers. Some want a spillover spa for cool fall nights. Others want a clean geometric pool that matches the lines of the house. We start with how you want to use the space and design from there.

Every pool we build is an in-ground gunite pool. Gunite is a concrete mix sprayed over a framework of steel, so the shell can be shaped to fit just about any layout, from tight rectangles to sweeping freeform curves.

What We Build

Planned for a Tennessee Yard

Middle Tennessee backyards come with their own challenges: red clay, slopes and rock. That's why the first thing we do is walk your yard and look at slope, soil, access and drainage before anything gets drawn. If the yard falls away from the house, retaining walls and steps can turn the slope into a level pool area, and we build those too.

How Long It Takes

Most custom pools take about 8 to 12 weeks from dig to swim, depending on design, permits, weather and finishes. You get a written timeline before work starts, plus updates along the way. Fall and winter are a great time to plan and build, so your pool is ready the first warm weekend of spring. Spring calendars fill up fast.
