Gunite Built for Knox County Ground
Gunite is what you build when you want a pool that fits your yard instead of forcing your yard to fit a shell. It is formed and shot on-site, so we can shape it to a sloped ridge lot, wrap it around a view, or drop in a beach entry, an infinity edge, or an integrated spa. That freedom matters in Knoxville, where the ground is anything but uniform. Knox County sits on limestone, so sinkholes and hidden voids are a real risk when you dig, exactly the kind of thing an out of town crew misses until it costs you. We engineer the excavation, steel, and drainage for the ground we actually hit, from the flat river-valley lots in South Knox to the tight ridge properties around Holston Hills and Hardin Valley. City permitting and established-neighborhood access get handled by people who do it here every week, with one local project manager on your build from layout to first swim. We hold Tennessee contractor license 77919 and carry a 4.9 star rating across 41 Google reviews, backed by 16+ years building across East Tennessee.

Frequently Asked
How much does a gunite pool cost in Knoxville?+
Most custom gunite pools in Knoxville run $95,000 to $350,000+, depending on size and depth, the shape and features you want, your site access and slope, the interior finish, and the decking. Because gunite is fully custom, we price it to your design and give you a detailed, no-obligation quote after we see the yard.
How long does it take to build a gunite pool?+
A custom gunite pool typically takes about 8 to 12 weeks, because it is formed, shot, and cured on-site rather than dropped in as a pre-made shell. That extra time buys you unlimited shape and features. Permitting happens before the dig, and we lay out the full schedule up front.
Should I choose gunite or fiberglass?+
Choose gunite when you want a fully custom shape, a beach entry, an infinity edge, or a large or unusually deep pool, and you want the highest resale value. Fiberglass is faster and lower-maintenance for standard shapes. We build both and will tell you honestly which one fits your yard, your slope, and your budget.
Can you build a gunite pool on a sloped or difficult lot?+
Yes, and that is where gunite shines. Because it is shaped on-site, we can step it into a hillside, wrap it around a view, or work around tight access that a one-piece fiberglass shell could never reach. We engineer the steel and retaining details for the grade and for Knox County soil.
Do gunite pools hold up in East Tennessee winters?+
Yes. We engineer the shell, decking, and drainage for our freeze-thaw climate and Knox County limestone, and we handle proper winterizing so nothing heaves or cracks over the seasons.
Can I finance a gunite pool in Knoxville?+
Yes. We offer pool financing so you can spread the investment out and treat the monthly payment like adding a room to the house. Ask us and we will point you to the current options.
