Custom Gunite Pool Builder in Tyler, TX
Tyler sits in Smith County in East Texas, where historic brick homes near the Azalea District share the map with 1980s to 2000s subdivisions and lakeside homes on Lake Palestine. Each setting asks something different of a pool. Expansive clay, heavy rain, summer heat and severe storms all shape how we plan. Owner and designer Heath Wharton designs every pool himself, and each one is 100% custom, with a rendering revised until it is right. Permits, zoning approvals and HOA guidelines are our job, so you can keep your weekends. A custom Tyler pool usually begins around $70,000, though size, features and finishes move that number. Reserve a free design consultation online or phone us to talk through your yard.

Local environment
What Tyler backyards face
Expansive clay soils
Clay soils in Smith County move with moisture, so a steel-reinforced gunite pool and careful site work matter.
Heavy rain and high humidity
Heavy rain and high humidity keep surfaces wet and put steady demands on finishes and drainage.
Summer heat
Summer heat makes shade and comfortable outdoor spaces as important as the pool.
Severe storms and hail
Severe storms and hail can damage exposed structures and equipment, so durable materials are worth planning for.
