Modern Pool with Smart Control
What’s involved in building a Custom Gunite Pool?
1 . Design Consultation
A designer from Pool & Spa Depot works with you in-store or on-site to design a fully custom pool. Layout, depth, features, finishes, and 3D renderings are finalized so your pool fits your backyard perfectly.
2 . Site Prep
After permits and approvals, the pool area is carefully marked and excavated. The shape of your custom design is carved directly into the ground.
3 . Steel & Plumbing Installation
A grid of steel rebar is installed to reinforce the pool shell. Plumbing lines, drains, and returns are set in place before the concrete is applied.
4 . Gunite Application
The shell takes shape. Gunite (sprayed concrete) is applied at high pressure over the steel framework. This creates a solid, monolithic concrete shell built specifically to your design.
5 . Tile Coping & Decking
Waterline tile and coping are installed around the pool edge. Decking and surrounding hardscape features begin to bring your backyard vision together.
6 . Interior Finish
The interior surface (plaster, quartz, or pebble finish) is applied, giving your pool its final color and texture.
7 . Equipment, Electrical & Startup
Pumps, filters, heaters, lighting, and automation systems are connected and tested. The pool is filled, balanced, and prepared for use.
8 . Final Steps
You’re guided through operation, maintenance, and water care so you feel confident managing your investment.
9 . Enjoy Your Pool
Built for elegance and durability. Designed for you. Ready for years of memories.

What’s Involved In Building A Custom Gunite Pool?
🗺️ What’s the First Step in Building a Gunite Pool?
A Pool & Spa Depot designer will help plan your pool based on your terrain—either in-store (free design) or on-site (3D design available for a small fee). We’ll also review any custom features you want to include.
📝 When Does Construction Begin?
Once you’ve signed the install agreement and secured your deposit, we begin by marking the site to avoid underground utilities and double-check dimensions and grading.
🚜 What Happens During Construction?
We excavate the pool area, install plumbing, and perform a pressure test. Then, our team installs a custom-shaped rebar grid for strength.
🧱 How Is the Gunite Shell Created?
Gunite (or shotcrete) is sprayed in place, with benches and special features sculpted by hand before curing. This forms the strong shell of your pool.
⚡ What About Electrical Work?
Qualified electricians handle all wiring and ensure everything meets safety code standards.
🧩 What Comes After the Shell?
We backfill, install your decking and coping, add tiles or other design features, and apply the final interior finish.
🧹 Is Cleanup Included?
Yes—your yard will be cleaned, graded, and prepped for use once construction is done.
📚 How Will I Learn to Maintain the Pool?
You’ll receive hands-on training at Pool School and guidance from our team on how to operate and care for your new pool.
