Gunite Work

Strong, Reliable Pool Shells Built With Precision

Gunite is the backbone of a long‑lasting pool. Applied under high pressure, it creates a dense, durable structure that forms the foundation for a pool built to perform for decades. With our in‑house crew and specialized equipment, we deliver consistent results, precise application, and a pool shell engineered for strength and longevity.

Why We’re the Best Choice for Your New Pool
  • In‑house gunite crew: Our trained team handles every stage of the gunite process, ensuring consistent quality and one clear line of communication.
  • Specialized equipment: We operate our own gunite machinery, giving us full control over pressure, mix consistency, and application.
  • Structural integrity: Properly applied gunite creates a strong, long‑lasting pool shell that resists cracking and shifting.
  • Precision shaping: We sculpt steps, benches, tanning ledges, and custom features directly into the gunite for a perfect fit and finish.

Working Process

  1. Site Preparation: We ensure the excavation, steel reinforcement, and plumbing are ready for gunite application.
  2. Mix & Pressure Calibration: Our team adjusts the mix and air pressure for optimal density, strength, and adhesion.
  3. Gunite Application: The shell is applied under high pressure, creating a dense, durable structure that forms the core of your pool.
  4. Shaping & Finishing: Steps, benches, and custom features are carved and refined for accuracy and smooth transitions.
  5. Curing Period: We provide guidance to ensure proper hydration and curing for maximum strength.
  6. Final Inspection: We verify shell thickness, structural integrity, and overall quality before moving to the next phase.

Gunite Work — FAQ

Because building a pool is a big investment, we’ve outlined clear answers to the questions homeowners ask most about the construction journey.

How long does gunite application take
Most gunite shells are completed in a single day, depending on pool size and complexity. We provide a clear schedule during your consultation.
Do you use your own gunite crew and equipment
Yes — all gunite work is performed by our in‑house team using our own machinery, ensuring consistent quality and reliable communication.
What makes gunite different from shotcrete
Both are high‑strength concrete applications, but gunite is applied dry‑mix through high pressure, allowing greater control, density, and shaping flexibility.
How strong is a gunite pool shell
When applied correctly, gunite creates an exceptionally strong, long‑lasting structure that resists cracking, shifting, and soil movement.
Can you shape custom features directly in the gunite
Absolutely — steps, benches, tanning ledges, and custom contours are carved and refined during the application for a precise fit.
How long does gunite take to cure
Gunite typically requires 28 days to fully cure. During this time, we provide guidance to ensure proper hydration and maximum strength.
Do I need to water the gunite shell
Yes — watering the shell helps prevent premature drying and cracking. We give you a simple schedule to follow during the curing period.
What happens after the gunite phase
Once cured, the project moves into plumbing, tile, coping, decking, and interior finish — depending on your design and timeline.
