Premier Custom Inground Swimming Pool Builders

Gunite offers superior structural flexibility and long-term durability compared to other pool building methods. Because it is pneumatically sprayed over an engineered steel cage, gunite allows for fully custom shapes, depths, built-in benches, and integrated spas. It forms a solid monolithic shell that withstands expansive soil conditions and ground movement, ensuring your swimming pool remains structurally sound and watertight for decades.

Building a pool typically involves multiple specialized trades, from grading and retaining wall contractors to pool builders and hardscape crews. By handling all four exterior disciplines under one contract, we eliminate handoffs where elevation mistakes and drainage conflicts often occur. You work directly with a single dedicated project manager, ensuring cohesive design, clear communication, and synchronized timelines from initial excavation through final paver installation.

Yes, we specialize in building custom inground pools on challenging hillside and canyon-adjacent properties. Hillside pool construction often requires engineered foundations, raised structural bond beams, erosion control measures, and integrated retaining walls to stabilize slopes. Our team evaluates your property's specific soil conditions and slope profiles to engineer a safe, resilient pool structure that adheres strictly to local municipal building codes.

Yes, in-house permitting management is fully integrated into our outdoor construction process. We draft necessary engineering plans and submit documentation directly to local municipal building offices. Our established familiarity with regional building departments helps streamline the submission process, address plan revisions promptly, and ensure all structural, electrical, and plumbing permits are secured before construction begins without burdening the property owner.

We provide a free, no-pressure on-site walk and detailed line-item estimate for all custom pool and complete backyard projects. Once you contact us, we reach out within one business day to schedule a time to walk your property, inspect grading, discuss your design vision, and assess site accessibility to provide a comprehensive, transparent cost breakdown.

Our custom gunite pools can integrate a wide variety of functional and architectural features. Options include attached elevated spas, spillover waterfalls, shallow baja shelves, custom swim-up bar seating, energy-efficient filtration systems, and low-voltage lighting. Furthermore, because we construct surrounding hardscapes, we seamlessly incorporate matching stone coping, adjacent paver decks, fire features, and outdoor barbecue kitchens.

Pool remodeling involves revitalizing an existing gunite shell through replastering or pebble application, installing new waterline tile, and replacing aging plumbing lines and pool equipment. We can also reconstruct surrounding pool decks with durable pavers or concrete, ensuring the finishes and equipment age at the same rate and giving your older backyard an entirely modern aesthetic and improved structural integrity.

Yes, Stonework Design & Build holds a full contractor's license and maintains comprehensive insurance and bonding. Hiring a fully credentialed contractor ensures your home and property are protected against liability throughout the construction cycle. Every phase of your custom swimming pool project is carried out in strict accordance with safety standards, regional structural requirements, and local building codes.
