Every pool is different because every family, property, and vision is different. The investment depends on the pool's size, shape, features, site conditions, and finish materials — there's no honest way to give a number without seeing your property first.
The best way to understand what your specific project would cost is to schedule a free consultation. We'll visit your property, listen to your vision, and provide a detailed proposal tailored to you. No surprises, no pressure.
What we can say: we build custom gunite pools for families who want something extraordinary. If you're looking for the lowest possible price, we're probably not the right fit. If you want the best pool your backyard can hold — we'd love to talk.
Most custom gunite pools take 8–14 weeks from groundbreaking to first swim. The timeline depends on the complexity of the design, permitting timelines with Washington County, and weather conditions.
We'll give you a detailed schedule during the design phase so you know exactly what to expect at each stage. Our process is designed around transparency — no vague timelines, no surprise delays without communication.
If you're hoping to swim before summer, the best time to start is now. Schedule a consultation and we'll map out your timeline from day one.
Gunite (also called shotcrete) pools are custom-built on-site from a concrete mixture sprayed over a rebar framework. They can be any shape, size, or depth — completely tailored to your property and vision. The finish is applied on-site as well, giving you endless customization options.
Fiberglass pools are pre-manufactured shells delivered and dropped into an excavated hole. They're faster to install but limited to whatever shapes and sizes the manufacturer offers. What arrives on the truck is what you get.
For families who want something truly custom — an infinity edge that follows the contour of your yard, a pool that wraps around existing trees, a shape that nobody else in the neighborhood has — gunite is the only choice. It's also the material of choice for high-end custom pools nationwide.
Yes. Pool construction in St. George and Washington County requires building permits — and in most cases, separate electrical and plumbing permits as well. The process involves submitting plans, waiting for approval, and passing inspections at multiple stages of construction.
The good news: we handle the entire permitting process as part of our service. You don't navigate a single piece of paperwork. We know Washington County's requirements inside and out, and we've built relationships that help the process move as efficiently as possible.
We build year-round in Southern Utah, thanks to the mild climate. However, if you want your pool ready for summer, we recommend starting the design process in fall or winter.
This gives us time for design, permitting (which can take several weeks), and construction before the first warm days of spring. Families who start in January or February are typically swimming by May or June. Families who start in April are often looking at a late-summer or fall completion.
Absolutely — and some of our most spectacular work has been on sloped properties. Southern Utah's terrain is dramatic, and hillside pools can take full advantage of that with infinity edges that appear to merge into the desert landscape below.
Hillside pools require additional engineering — retaining walls, structural footings, and more complex excavation — but the results are breathtaking. If you have a sloped property and wondered whether a pool was possible, the answer is almost certainly yes.
Our focus is on design and construction — it's where we're truly excellent, and we don't spread ourselves thin. For ongoing maintenance, we're happy to recommend trusted local service providers who specialize in pool care.
At your final walkthrough, we'll walk you through everything your pool needs: equipment operation, water chemistry basics, seasonal care, and maintenance schedules. You'll leave that walkthrough confident, not confused.
We provide comprehensive warranties on our workmanship and materials. Specific terms vary by component — structural work, equipment, and plaster each carry their own warranty period — and all details will be clearly outlined in your contract before we break ground.
We stand behind every pool we build. If something isn't right, we make it right. That's not just a policy — it's how we've built our reputation in Southern Utah.
St. George and Southern Utah have a unique combination of expansive clay soils and sandstone that can shift seasonally. Builders unfamiliar with the region sometimes underestimate this — and pools suffer for it over time.
We've built our entire engineering approach around Southern Utah's specific geology. Our foundations and shell designs account for seasonal soil movement, and we use construction techniques appropriate for the desert climate. This expertise is part of what makes us the right builder for this region specifically.
