The Art of Complete Pool Restoration
Your pool should be the easiest part of your property. We keep it that way through dependable care and consistent service year after year.
Designed Around You
A Gunite pool offers the highest level of customization, durability, and long-term performance in pool construction. At Pelican Pools, we design and build Gunite pools that are tailored to each property and each homeowner’s vision, creating one-of-a-kind outdoor environments that feel intentional, refined, and built to last.
From simple, modern layouts to complex designs with integrated features, a Gunite pool provides complete design freedom and structural strength that make it a lasting investment for your home.
What Is a Gunite Pool
Gunite is a concrete mixture that is applied over a reinforced steel framework, forming a solid and permanent pool shell. This construction method allows for total flexibility in shape, size, depth, and layout. Unlike prefabricated pool systems, a Gunite pool is formed entirely on-site, allowing the design to respond directly to the architecture of the home and the unique characteristics of the landscape.
This process results in a pool that is not only visually distinctive but structurally sound, and capable of lasting for decades with proper care and maintenance.
Designed Without Limitations
The primary advantage of Gunite is freedom of design. With Gunite construction, there are virtually no limitations on the form your pool can take. Whether your vision is a clean geometric pool, a freeform design that follows the natural contours of the yard, or a layout that incorporates multiple levels and integrated features, Gunite makes it possible.
Depth transitions, entry steps, tanning ledges, swim-out benches, and built-in spa areas can all be shaped directly into the structure of the pool. This level of customization allows every detail to be carefully planned and executed so the finished pool feels cohesive with the rest of the property.
Strength and Longevity
A Gunite pool is built for long-term performance. The combination of steel reinforcement and concrete creates a structure that is exceptionally strong and stable. This makes Gunite pools ideal for properties that require complex engineering solutions, including challenging terrain, larger pool footprints, or specialized design features.
With proper maintenance and periodic surface refinishing, a Gunite pool can remain structurally sound and visually appealing for decades. This longevity makes it one of the most reliable options for homeowners seeking a permanent outdoor feature that adds lasting value to their property.
Surface Finishes and Aesthetic Options
Once the structural shell is complete, the pool is finished with a surface material that defines its appearance and texture. Options range from classic plaster finishes to exposed aggregate, quartz, or full tile interiors. Each finish offers its own visual character and performance benefits, allowing homeowners to achieve the look and feel that best suits their space.
These finishes also influence how the water appears, from light and reflective to deep and rich in color. The result is a pool that complements the surrounding environment while reflecting the homeowner’s personal style.
Integrated Features and Enhancements
Gunite construction allows for the seamless integration of features that elevate both the appearance and functionality of the pool. Waterfalls, sheer descents, raised spa areas, custom steps, and architectural lighting can all be incorporated directly into the design.
Advanced automation systems provide convenient control of lighting, temperature, and filtration, allowing homeowners to manage their pool with ease. These features enhance daily enjoyment while supporting efficient operation and maintenance.
A Long-Term Investment in Your Property
Choosing a Gunite pool is an investment in quality, performance, and long-term value. The durability of the structure, combined with the ability to update finishes and features over time, allows the pool to evolve with the home and the homeowner’s needs.
At Pelican Pools, our experienced team manages every phase of construction with care and precision, from initial design through final completion. The result is a custom-built pool that feels like a natural extension of the home and a space designed for years of enjoyment.
A Gunite pool is not simply a feature in the yard. It is the foundation of an outdoor environment built for living well, every day.
