Gunite Pool Construction in Cypress, TX

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

Why Cypress Specifically

Cypress is unincorporated Harris County northwest of Houston, one of the fastest-growing parts of the metro, built around a handful of very large master-planned communities rather than a traditional town center.

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 dedicated to a single build method: gunite (shotcrete) construction, rebar cage, sprayed and hand-finished concrete, engineered bond beams, and a design that can be shaped to anything the lot allows, from tanning ledges to negative edges to integrated spas.
