Customized Elegance: Gunite Pools for Your Outdoor Paradise

Have you ever wanted to step into your backyard and be greeted by the shimmering turquoise waters of your swimming pool? Do you dream of a sanctuary of relaxation and recreation, perfectly sculpted to complement your unique taste and lifestyle? 

When it comes to pool construction, few options can rival the unparalleled elegance and durability of a concrete pool, and at the heart of this timeless appeal lies the enduring strength of gunite. Hidden Creek serves Columbus, Ohio, and the surrounding communities. Our dedicated team is ready to build your backyard oasis!

What is Gunite?

Gunite is a popular type of concrete used in swimming pool construction. It’s a dry mix of cement, sand, and water sprayed over a rebar framework using high-pressure equipment. Once applied, it forms a dense, strong shell that becomes the foundation of your swimming pool. Because of its flexibility as a building material, gunite is ideal for custom pool designs with curves, ledges, built-in spas, and other unique features.

At Hidden Cree, we use gunite to create long-lasting, beautiful pools tailored to each homeowner’s space and style. Our team brings years of experience to every project, combining expert craftsmanship with a seamless construction process.

Reasons to Choose A Gunite Pool

A gunite pool offers unmatched versatility and strength if you’re looking for the best choice for a fully customized swimming pool. Unlike pre-formed pool options, gunite allows for personalized pool shapes, sizes, and depths—making it a favorite among homeowners who want something one of a kind.

Gunite pools are known for their durability. With the proper care, the solid structures created through this method can last for decades. It’s an excellent option for those who want a luxury pool design, with features like an integrated spa, tanning ledges, or a vanishing edge.

Because gunite is a type of concrete construction, it offers flexibility without sacrificing strength—especially important in Columbus’s varied seasonal conditions. When you choose Hidden Creek for your pool construction, you can expect a beautiful result and a structure built to withstand the test of time.

What to Expect With a Gunite Pool Installation

Gunite pool construction is a multi-step process, and we’re with you every step of the way. It begins with an in-depth consultation and custom pool design, where we’ll help you map out everything from the overall layout to added features like a spa or fire pit area. Once the design is finalized, our pool builders handle the excavation and framing, followed by the rebar and plumbing installation.

Next comes the gunite application, where the cement mixture is sprayed into place and expertly shaped. After curing, finishing touches like tile, coping, plaster, and surrounding landscaping are added to bring your outdoor vision to life.

With Hidden Creek, you can count on a detailed, professional experience from start to finish. We’ve built a reputation in Columbus for quality swimming pool construction backed by years of experience and a commitment to craftsmanship.

Gunite Pool Maintenance

Gunite pools are built to last but require regular maintenance to stay in top shape. The porous nature of concrete means you’ll need to monitor pH levels and clean the pool surface more often than with fiberglass options. However, many homeowners find the customization and long-term durability worth the extra upkeep.

Routine brushing, vacuuming, and water testing are essential to keep your concrete pool looking and performing its best. Periodic resurfacing may also be needed over the life of the pool, depending on usage and environmental factors. Our experts can offer guidance on proper care and connect you with trusted partners for long-term maintenance.
