When it comes to building a pool that’s designed to last for generations, custom concrete gunite pools stand in a class of their own. A Pool and Spa specializes in crafting gunite pools that combine advanced engineering, structural precision, and creative freedom. Designed and built entirely on-site, each gunite pool we construct is unique—custom-tailored to your property layout, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle.

Unlike pre-manufactured fiberglass shells or vinyl liners, gunite pools are engineered for strength and flexibility. They withstand Utah’s challenging soil conditions and climate variations, ensuring both beauty and durability for decades to come.

gunite pool is not just a reinforced concrete shell—it’s a fully integrated structure built for long-term stability. Gunite is a dry mix of cement and sand that’s sprayed through a high-pressure hose and combined with water at the nozzle. This process allows for maximum density and control, resulting in a seamless, watertight structure that can be shaped into any form imaginable.

Why this method stands above the rest:

• Unlimited Design Flexibility: Gunite pools are custom-built on-site, allowing any shape, size, or depth to be achieved. Whether you want an infinity edge, beach entry, sun shelf, or grotto, gunite makes it possible.
• Custom Finishes: Choose from elegant plaster, colored quartz, or pebble aggregate finishes that complement your home’s design.
• Integrated Features: Add waterfalls, spas, benches, and lighting seamlessly into your pool’s structure for a high-end, cohesive design.

When precision, customization, and long-term durability are top priorities, gunite delivers unmatched results.

The engineering process behind a gunite pool is what gives it its legendary strength. Before gunite is applied, a steel rebar framework is constructed to serve as the skeleton of the pool. The high-pressure application of gunite creates a monolithic shell—a single, continuous structure that resists cracking and shifting even under extreme environmental conditions.

With proper care, a gunite pool can last 50 to 100 years, far exceeding the lifespan of fiberglass or vinyl alternatives. This robust construction also allows for design adaptability during installation, meaning your pool can be modified to suit the slope, soil type, and elevation of your property without compromising structural stability.

Advantages of gunite construction include:

• Reinforced steel structure for maximum tensile strength
• Adaptable shell thickness for varying soil and terrain types
• Superior resistance to hydrostatic pressure and ground movement

Utah’s climate and geology present challenges that make gunite pools the most reliable long-term investment for homeowners. Between harsh winters, freeze-thaw cycles, and rocky soil conditions, the superior engineering of a gunite pool ensures both performance and protection.

Key Utah advantages:

• Freeze-Thaw Resistance: The dense, reinforced gunite shell absorbs external pressure from expanding soil and prevents cracking or shifting during the winter months.
• Soil Adaptability: Many Utah properties—especially along the Wasatch Front—feature rocky or clay-heavy soils. Gunite pools can be custom-engineered with thicker walls and additional reinforcement to handle these demanding conditions.
• Weather Endurance: High UV exposure and fluctuating temperatures demand durable finishes and materials. Pebble and quartz finishes resist fading, while travertine coping and decking remain cool under the hot summer sun.

These combined factors make gunite the clear choice for Utah property owners who want a long-lasting, structurally sound, and visually stunning pool.
