Quick Answer
An inground pool in Maryville and Blount County runs in the same East Tennessee ranges we quote everywhere, because pool cost is driven by the pool and the site, not the town. Fiberglass runs about $70,000 to $190,000+ and custom gunite about $95,000 to $350,000+, installed. On Blount County lots, slope, rock, and access are the biggest variables, so two identical pools can land thousands apart purely because of the ground. The only real number comes from scoping your actual lot.
- Fiberglass pools in the Maryville area run about $70,000 to $95,000 (entry), $100,000 to $135,000 (mid), and $135,000 to $190,000+ (high-end), installed.
- Custom gunite pools run about $95,000 to $155,000 (entry), $155,000 to $250,000 (mid), and $250,000 to $350,000+ (high-end), installed.
- Pool cost does not differ meaningfully by town; these are the same East Tennessee ranges as the Knoxville guides, framed for Blount County because the drivers are size, finish, features, and the lot.
- Blount County slope, rock ledge during excavation, and site access are the main local cost variables, so a sloped or rocky lot usually needs retaining walls and engineered backfill.
How much does a pool cost in Maryville, TN?
Fiberglass runs about $70,000 to $190,000+ and custom gunite about $95,000 to $350,000+, installed. These are the same East Tennessee ranges we quote everywhere, since cost tracks the pool and the lot, not the town.
Why is pool cost the same in Maryville as Knoxville?
Materials, equipment, and crews come from the same regional supply chain. What moves the price is size, finish, features, and your specific lot, so we quote honest region-wide ranges and let the property set the real number.
What a Pool Costs in Maryville in 2026
Here is the straight answer most Maryville homeowners are looking for. An inground pool in Maryville and the rest of Blount County runs in the same ranges we quote across East Tennessee, because pool cost is driven by the pool and your site, not by which town the lot sits in. These are the East Tennessee ranges that apply in Maryville:
| Pool type | Entry | Mid-range | High-end |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fiberglass | $70,000 to $95,000 | $100,000 to $135,000 | $135,000 to $190,000+ |
| Gunite (custom) | $95,000 to $155,000 | $155,000 to $250,000 | $250,000 to $350,000+ |
Those are installed prices, not bare-shell teasers. For the full breakdown behind each number, read our fiberglass pool cost guide and gunite pool cost guide, which are the canonical pillars this local guide sits under.

Why the Numbers Are the Same as Knoxville
We are transparent about this on purpose. A pool does not cost meaningfully more or less because it is in Maryville versus Farragut or West Knoxville. The materials, the equipment, the crews, and the shells all come from the same supply chain. What changes the price is size, finish, features, and above all your specific lot. So rather than pretend Maryville has its own separate price sheet, we quote the same honest East Tennessee ranges everywhere and let your property set the real number. Our Knoxville pool cost guide uses the identical figures for the same reason.
What Drives Cost on a Blount County Lot
Blount County has a real mix of lot types, and the ground is usually the biggest variable in the whole quote:
- Foothills slope. Much of Blount County rolls toward the Smokies, and sloped backyards are common. A slope usually means retaining walls and, for a fiberglass shell, carefully engineered backfill so the shell never shifts. Our guide to building a pool on a sloped yard walks through exactly how that affects feasibility and budget.
- Rock and clay. East Tennessee geology is unpredictable, and hitting rock ledge during excavation is a real surcharge on either pool type. Budget a contingency for it rather than being surprised.
- Access. Rural and wooded Blount County lots sometimes have tight or long access, and if a crane or excavator cannot reach the backyard easily, the site work gets more involved.
- Larger acreage. Plenty of Maryville and Louisville properties sit on more land, which can open the door to a bigger pool, more decking, and a fuller backyard, all of which move the number up by choice rather than by surprise.
The honest rule is that two identical pools on two different Blount County lots can land thousands of dollars apart purely because of the dirt. A good builder scopes that upfront instead of springing it on you mid-project, which is also the usual reason a pool estimate can look high when it is actually complete.
Fiberglass or Gunite for a Maryville Backyard
Both work well here, and we build both.
- Fiberglass is a pre-manufactured shell craned into your yard. It has a lower entry point and installs faster, but you are choosing from the manufacturer's shapes and sizes.
- Gunite is built on-site from steel and concrete in any shape, with no ceiling on customization and the highest resale value.
If you are torn, our fiberglass versus gunite comparison breaks down the honest trade-offs in speed, shape, and longevity.
Budgeting the Whole Project, Not Just the Pool
One thing that surprises Maryville homeowners is that the pool shell is only part of the total. A finished backyard usually includes decking around the pool, and travertine, porcelain, or paver decking can cost as much as the pool itself on a larger project. Add retaining walls if the lot is sloped, a spa, a fire feature, or an outdoor kitchen, and the complete backyard climbs well past the pool line. That is not a hidden cost, it is a design choice, and the honest way to budget is to decide up front how much of the backyard you want to finish now versus phase later. We are glad to price the pool alone or the whole yard, and to sequence it so the numbers make sense for you. Building the pool and patio together is often the smarter move, as we cover in why you might build your pool and patio at the same time.
How Homeowners Pay for It
Most people do not write a single check for a pool. Between cash, home equity, and pool-specific financing, there are several routes, and the right one depends on your situation and timing. Our honest guide to how to pay for a pool in East Tennessee lays out the options without pushing any single product, so you can plan the budget with eyes open before you ever sign anything.
Permits and Barriers in Blount County
Any inground pool in Blount County requires a building permit, and Tennessee requires a safety barrier around a residential pool, typically a fence of a required height with self-latching, self-closing gate hardware. The exact permit steps, barrier specifications, and setback distances are set at the county and jurisdiction level and can change, so we do not quote specific fees or code sections here. We pull the permit and build to the current barrier code as part of the job, and we always recommend you verify current requirements with the Blount County office before you plan around any specific rule. Our Blount County pool permit resource and our East Tennessee county-by-county permit guide are good starting points, and our dedicated read on pool permits for Maryville homeowners goes deeper.
Building Locally in Maryville
We build pools throughout Maryville, Alcoa, Louisville, and the surrounding Blount County communities. See our Maryville pool construction page for local project examples and service details. If you are also weighing nearby markets, our Sevierville pool cost guide and Lenoir City pool cost guide use these same ranges for their counties.
