Custom Shotcrete Pools
Shotcrete construction gives DC Pools the flexibility to build around the property instead of forcing the project into a standard package. Each pool starts with the site, the structure, and how the owner plans to use it.
What the work can include
- Commercial and residential shotcrete pools
- Concrete, tile, coping, equipment, and finish coordination
- Custom shapes, depths, entries, and integrated features

Plan a pool around your property.
Is this the right fit?
A custom pool starts with how you want to use the space: swimming, family time, a commercial amenity, or a pool with an integrated spa. Bring the features that matter most so the layout and budget can be discussed together.
Define the scope
Discuss the pool shape, depth, entry, finishes, equipment, and surrounding deck as one project. Clarify which site work and connections belong in the proposal before comparing prices.
What affects the timeline?
Design decisions, site access, approvals, material availability, and construction sequencing all affect the schedule. Ask for a project-specific timeline once the scope and site have been reviewed.
Prepare for the first conversation
Share the project location, site photos or plans, intended use, budget range, and any target completion date. For Utah and Mountain West properties, flag slopes, limited equipment access, and seasonal-use plans early.
Planning a pool and spa together? Explore custom hot tubs and spas so seating, controls, and finish choices can be considered alongside the pool.
