Custom Gunite Pool Design & Construction
Edgewater Premier Pools designs and builds custom gunite swimming pools in Kerrville, Fredericksburg and communities throughout the Texas Hill Country, starting with your property, your family and the way you want to use your backyard.
Planned Around Your Yard, Your Style and How You Swim
Planning a new swimming pool is a major investment. Our team helps homeowners evaluate design options, select useful features and understand each step involved in taking a new inground pool from concept to completion.
A custom gunite pool gives you the flexibility to plan around the shape of your yard, your preferred style and how you intend to use it. Instead of a one-size-fits-all design, the dimensions, depth profile, steps, seating and surrounding deck are considered together as one project.
Some homeowners need a practical place for swimming and family time. Others want a striking pool with a spa, tanning ledge, lighting and room to entertain. Good design balances those goals with safe access, property conditions, maintenance needs and your budget.
The right pool starts with how your household will use it. These are the most common directions homeowners explore with us.
Entry steps, places to gather, circulation space and features suited to your household. Every pool also needs appropriate supervision and safety measures.
Clean lines and intentional deck layouts that can complement both contemporary and traditional homes.
Curved shapes that can suit natural-looking landscapes or less conventional backyard layouts.
Connected spas, spillovers and fountains change how the space looks and functions. Options are confirmed during design.
A pool, patio, outdoor kitchen and shade area planned together make better use of the property. Explore our outdoor living design and construction.
Tell us how you want to use your backyard and we will help you narrow it down.
Discuss Your Pool ProjectHill Country properties range from established neighborhoods to larger rural lots. These factors shape design options, construction logistics and overall cost.
Before choosing a final layout, discuss equipment access, elevation changes, drainage, utility locations and any rock excavation or retaining requirements. These conditions influence design, logistics and cost, which is why a site evaluation is more useful than a generic online pool price.
Think about who will use the pool, how often you expect to entertain and how much room you want to keep for seating, landscaping and circulation. A larger pool is not automatically the better pool. A thoughtful design gives each part of the backyard a purpose.
Surface finishes, waterline tile, coping, decking, lighting, filtration and circulation equipment affect appearance, upkeep and budget. Ask which materials and equipment fit your intended use, sun exposure and maintenance preferences.
Pool projects can involve local permits, utility checks, barriers, electrical work and drainage requirements, and the specific rules depend on your property and jurisdiction. Plan for ongoing water care and equipment maintenance as part of ownership. Edgewater also offers pool repair and maintenance.
A clear process helps you know what decisions are coming and when.
We start by discussing how you want to use the pool, your design preferences, your property and the budget range you have in mind. This sets priorities before detailed selections begin.
Design covers pool shape, dimensions, access, decking and optional features. We use 3D design to help you visualize the layout and features in context before anything is built.
Site conditions, utilities, access and applicable permitting requirements are reviewed before major work begins. The steps vary by municipality, property and project scope.
Construction includes the structural pool work, plumbing and equipment work required for the approved design. The schedule depends on project complexity, materials, inspections and weather.
Finish materials, coping, decking, lighting and selected features are completed. A coordinated outdoor living plan helps avoid awkward transitions between the pool and surrounding spaces.
Before you swim, we walk you through how your pool and equipment operate and what routine maintenance involves, so you know your responsibilities and next steps.
Start With the Experience You Want
Choosing features should begin with how you want to use the pool, not a list of expensive upgrades. Equipment availability and compatibility are confirmed by our design team for each project.
Talk Through Your OptionsGood to know: saltwater pools still use chlorine for sanitation. A salt system generates chlorine from dissolved salt, so it is not chemical-free. Ask about operating and maintenance differences before choosing a system.
Cost depends on size and depth, structural design, finishes, yard access, excavation conditions, plumbing and equipment, and optional features. In the Hill Country, slopes, rock and drainage can also affect scope. Rather than quote an unsupported starting price, we discuss your property and priorities and provide a project-specific estimate.
When comparing proposals, ask what is included, which allowances may change, what preparation is required and how changes are approved. Understanding scope matters as much as the headline price.
The timeline varies with design approvals, permit requirements, scheduling, site preparation, inspections, weather, material selections and construction complexity.
An accurate timeline is discussed once the design and property conditions are understood. Be cautious of any fixed completion date promised before a site assessment.
Completed projects are the best way to evaluate a pool builder's design approach. Open any project to see more of the build.
