Gunite and shotcrete both refer to reinforced concrete pool construction—engineered for structural strength and complete design freedom.
Unlike prefabricated options, this method allows for custom dimensions, seamless curves, and premium finishes tailored to your home. Artistix Pools builds architecturally refined gunite pools across North Metro Atlanta—crafted with intention, engineered to endure.
Where structure meets customization.
Reinforced concrete construction delivers exceptional strength against Atlanta’s heat, humidity, shifting soil conditions, and seasonal temperature swings. Built beneath the surface to perform for decades.
From precision geometric lines to organic lagoon curves, infinity edges, spas, and integrated water features—gunite allows complete design flexibility tailored to your property.
A professionally engineered gunite pool enhances resale appeal while reducing structural repair concerns common with alternative construction methods.
Hand-selected tile, premium coping, smooth interior finishes, and custom material integrations create a cohesive design that elevates your entire outdoor environment.
Precision. Sequence. Structural integrity at every stage.
We begin with a comprehensive consultation to define your vision, budget, and site conditions. Detailed design development and structural engineering ensure compliance with Atlanta building codes while optimizing layout, drainage, and long-term performance.
Our team precisely excavates and prepares your property, accounting for soil conditions, grading, and structural stability. A properly prepared foundation is essential to the integrity and longevity of your pool.
A reinforced steel rebar framework forms the structural backbone of your pool. Plumbing lines and equipment infrastructure are strategically installed to support efficiency, durability, and long-term performance.
Shotcrete is pneumatically applied over the steel framework, creating a dense, reinforced concrete shell. This critical phase establishes the structural strength and permanence that define gunite construction.
Premium tile, coping, integrated spas, water features, and architectural details are installed to refine the pool’s aesthetic. This stage transforms structure into design.
After proper curing, interior finishes are applied and all systems are tested for performance. A final inspection is conducted before the pool is filled, balanced, and prepared for handoff.
We start by discussing your vision and budget, ensuring compliance with local Atlanta building codes and HOA guidelines. Your designer will utilize a special 3D rendering software to present your proposed design.
Our team carefully excavates and prepares your property, optimizing drainage and structural integrity.
Once the rebar framework and plumbing is in place, we apply the shotcrete mixture using industry-leading techniques for a seamless, durable finish.
We allow the concrete to cure fully, ensuring stability and longevity—this step is crucial for the pool’s overall strength.
From decorative tile work to waterfalls or built-in spas, we add the finishing touches that make your pool truly unique.
We conduct a thorough quality check before filling your new pool and providing you with maintenance guidance.
Most custom gunite pools in the Atlanta area take 8–12 weeks from excavation to startup, depending on design complexity, weather, and permitting timelines. Features such as spas, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, or extensive hardscaping may extend the timeline. We provide a detailed construction schedule before breaking ground so you know exactly what to expect.
Gunite and shotcrete are both forms of reinforced concrete and offer exceptional durability and design flexibility. The main difference is how the material is applied. In modern pool construction, both create a structurally strong shell capable of lasting decades when installed properly. At Artistix Pools, we use industry-leading techniques to ensure maximum strength and longevity.
Custom gunite pools in North Metro Atlanta vary based on size, site conditions, and selected features. Most of the pools we design and build fall within the $120,000–$150,000+ range, depending on finishes, integrated spas, retaining walls, and outdoor living elements.
More streamlined designs with minimal features may require a lower investment, while highly customized projects with luxury materials and extensive hardscaping will exceed that range.
Because every property and vision is different, we provide detailed, transparent pricing during the design phase so you understand exactly how your investment is allocated — from structural components to premium finishes.
