Custom Gunite Pools

Fully Custom Pools, Designed Around Your Vision

Browse our gunite designs for ideas, but nothing is locked in. Every gunite pool starts with your property, your style and how you actually want to use the space, then gets engineered and built to match: modern and geometric, freeform, infinity edge, spa combinations, tanning ledges, or a signature water feature.

Built On Site, Not Off A Shelf

Design Comes First. The Concrete Just Makes It Real.

Gunite starts as a design conversation, not a parts list. Because the shell is sprayed in place over steel rebar instead of dropped in as one manufactured piece, there is no shape you are locked into. We start with how you want the pool to look and feel against your property, then engineer the construction around that vision instead of the other way around.

  • Shaped to match your home's architecture and sightlines
  • Built around existing trees, slopes and Hill Country limestone
  • Finishes, tile and lighting chosen to fit the vision, not bolted on after

Six Ways We Design A Gunite Pool

Every custom pool starts in one of these directions. Click through to see full projects built in each style.

Built For This Ground

Engineered For Hill Country Soil

Central Texas clay and limestone shift more than most people expect, and a pool built without accounting for that will crack. Every gunite shell we build is engineered for your site's specific soil and slope, with steel reinforcement and footings sized to hold up here, not to a generic spec sheet.

  • Built To LastA gunite pool does not wear out the way a manufactured shell can. Plaster, tile, and even the shape can be renovated years down the road instead of replaced. See what a renovation looks like.
  • One Crew, Start To FinishExcavation, steel, gunite, tile, decking, and plaster all stay under one crew and one point of contact, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

Real Backyards, Not Renderings

What You See Is What Gets Built

Every photo on this page is a completed pool here in Central Texas, not a stock photo or a 3D rendering. We can put together renderings during design, but the goal from day one is a backyard that matches what we showed you, not something close to it.

If we could give Blue Springs Pools more than 5 stars, we would! They took us from breaking ground to swimming in a little over a month and a half, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. We’ve always dreamed of having an in-ground pool, and they absolutely nailed our 20x10 pocket spa pool with tanning ledge, bubblers, and built-in umbrella holders. TJ is the man. He helped us choose all the colors/materials, constantly stopped by the job site, and answered every one of our “this is probably a dumb question, but…” phone calls. Mike helped oversee the crews and was always genuinely friendly, chatty, helpful, and happy to explain what was going on. There were no hidden surprises. We were kept informed from day one about potential add-ons based on property conditions. This is a completely honest and transparent company. Every crew—from excavation to gunite to tile—was great to have around! They cleaned up after themselves at every stage, which was huge for us. (Feed the guys cookies and apparently you get free jokes too, hah!) There were a couple hiccups along the way, as there are with any construction project, but Blue Springs was immediately responsive and came up with solutions fast. We never felt like a hassle. Now we get to float in our pool and watch the wild deer and impala roam our property. Pretty hard to beat that. Blue Springs completely transformed our backyard, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who had a hand in it. 10/10 — if you’re around Lampasas or Burnet and thinking about a pool, these are your guys!!

Common Questions

Custom Gunite Pool FAQs

What is a gunite pool, and how is it different from a fiberglass pool?

A gunite pool is built on site by spraying a concrete and sand mixture over a steel rebar frame, then finishing it with plaster, pebble, or tile. Because the shell is formed in place rather than dropped in as one piece, gunite pools can be built in almost any shape, depth, or size, which is why most fully custom pools are gunite.

How long does it take to build a custom gunite pool?

Gunite construction happens in stages: excavation, steel and plumbing, gunite application, tile and coping, decking, and finally plaster and startup, with a curing period between several of those steps. Because of that step-by-step process, a gunite build generally takes longer than a fiberglass installation. We will give you a realistic schedule specific to your design once we walk your site.

Can I customize the shape, depth, and features of a gunite pool?

Yes. Since the shell is formed on site, gunite gives you the most design freedom of any pool type. That includes custom shapes, varying depths, tanning ledges, spas, sheer descent water walls, and features like fire bowls or swim-up bars integrated directly into the design.

What kind of finishes and tile options are available for gunite pools?

We offer plaster, pebble, and quartz interior finishes in a range of colors, along with glass, porcelain, and natural stone tile for the waterline and accent bands. We will walk through samples with you so you can see how a finish will actually look once the pool is filled.
