Gunite Pool Construction in Katy, TX

Poured-in-place concrete (gunite/shotcrete) pools, custom-shaped and engineered for Texas clay soils, built to last decades.

Why Katy Specifically

Katy sits across Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties and has grown into one of the largest suburban markets on Houston's west side, anchored by the top-rated Katy ISD. Most newer backyards here sit inside a master-planned community with its own architectural review process.

Gunite construction is engineered around the specific site conditions it's built over, which matters directly here: a shell designed for expansive, seasonally-moving clay soil is the standard approach rather than a generic footing, something only an on-site, hand-built shell can fully adjust to.

What This Service Covers

Gunite (shotcrete) is the standard for custom, long-lasting pools in the Houston area. A steel rebar cage is engineered to your yard, then gunite is sprayed over the structure and hand-troweled to your exact design, freeform or geometric, before plaster, pebble, or tile finishing.

Because the shell is formed on-site rather than dropped in prefabricated, gunite pools can be built to any shape, depth, or feature set: tanning ledges, swim-up bars, raised spas, negative-edge walls, and integrated water features all start as gunite.

Local Notes

This site is built around the high end of what gunite construction allows: negative/infinity edges, swim-up bars, sun shelves, fire-and-water features, and full outdoor-living integration with decking, kitchens, and shade structures designed alongside the pool, not as an afterthought.
