The build

Custom gunite pools.

We are a custom pool builder based in New Braunfels. Every pool we build is gunite, designed for one yard, and built as one project.

Why we build in gunite

Gunite is concrete sprayed over a steel frame. It sets into one solid shell, in the exact shape of your design.

Because it's sprayed, not dropped in from a mold, gunite can take almost any shape. A long lap lane. A curve that follows a tree line. An edge that falls away toward a view. That freedom is why we build custom gunite pools and spas, and nothing else.

Shapes and edges we build

  1. i.

    Infinity edge

    Water spills over one edge into a basin below, so the pool seems to run into the view. It suits a lot with a drop and something worth facing. Our infinity-edge pool on the Guadalupe was built to face one of the best views in the Texas Hill Country. Have a view in Boerne, or anywhere else we build? Ask about one.

    Geometric

    Straight lines and clean corners, sized to the house and the deck. One owner put it this way in a Google review: “The project included a geometric pool, an outdoor kitchen, and a patio.”

    Freeform

    Curves that follow the yard: the trees, the slope, the path out of the house. We draw the shape for your lot, then dig and spray it to match.

    Spa

    A spa in the same gunite shell, finished in the same tile and stone, so pool and spa read as one piece.

Add to your build

Want an outdoor kitchen, a patio cover or turf? We plan it with the pool and build it in the same project, so the lines, the deck and the shade all fit. We don't take these on by themselves. Two of our Google reviewers had outdoor kitchens built with their pools.

What we don't build

We build new custom gunite pools, start to finish. We don't work on existing pools, and we don't build fiberglass or vinyl.
