Custom Gunite Swimming Pools for Boerne Homeowners
Building a custom swimming pool starts with understanding your property, how your family will use the space, and what matters most in the finished design. Edgewater Premier Pools works with homeowners in Boerne and the surrounding Texas Hill Country to plan and build custom gunite pools that fit their homes and outdoor living goals.
Practical to Use, Maintain and Enjoy
From a straightforward family pool to a layout with a spa, tanning ledge, lighting or other features, we help you evaluate design choices, construction considerations and how the project can work with your backyard. The right pool is not just visually appealing. It should be practical to use, maintain and enjoy.
A gunite pool allows flexibility in shape, size, depth configuration and the way a pool connects with a patio, home or surrounding landscape. We help you compare options based on your priorities, available space and anticipated budget. Your design discussion may include steps and benches, shallow lounging areas, a connected spa, finish selections, lighting and automation, with final features depending on engineering and site conditions.

Before choosing a pool shape, consider who will use it and how. Families may prioritize accessible steps, comfortable shallow areas and gathering space. Homeowners who exercise may want a longer swim area. People who entertain may favor integrated seating, a spa, and room to move between the water and an outdoor kitchen or patio. The design should also preserve practical access around the pool and room for equipment service.
Discuss interior finishes, tile, coping, decking, pumps, filtration, heating, lighting and controls as a connected system. Upfront equipment choices can affect ongoing energy use, maintenance and convenience. Ask which options are appropriate for your pool rather than assuming every advertised feature belongs in every backyard.
Some Hill Country properties have challenging grades, rock or limited equipment access. These conditions can influence excavation, retaining features, drainage planning and the total construction scope, and they are assessed property by property.
Pool placement should account for drainage patterns, existing structures, utilities, trees, usable deck space and access for construction equipment. A thoughtful site review helps identify trade-offs before the design is finalized.
Permit and architectural-review requirements vary with the exact property location, subdivision and jurisdiction. Confirm the applicable authority and any HOA procedures before treating a design or installation date as final.
Six stages from first conversation to a running pool. The exact sequence depends on your approved design and project requirements.
Tell us how you want to use your pool, what features you like and what budget boundaries matter. Share any HOA information, site plans or inspiration photos you have.
Review layout, grade, access, existing improvements and other site constraints before committing to a pool configuration.
Compare the proposed design, included materials and equipment, anticipated phases and contingencies, and clarify which selections can affect the final cost.
Confirm jurisdiction-specific permitting, site preparation and construction access before excavation starts.
Construction commonly includes excavation, reinforcement and shell work, plumbing and equipment, tile and coping, interior finish and startup.
Learn how to operate your equipment and care for pool surfaces and water after startup, so you know what ownership involves from day one.
Custom pool prices vary with dimensions, depth, layout, access, excavation, finishes, equipment, and optional features such as spas, water features or extensive decking. A rocky or steep site may require a different construction scope than a level, accessible yard. The useful starting point is a written proposal that explains what is included, what is optional, and which conditions could affect the price.
When comparing quotes, ask about site preparation, decking, electrical work, permits, equipment specifications, startup, and what is excluded.
A well-planned pool may include a simple geometric layout that complements a modern home, a more organic shape suited to an informal landscape, or a pool and spa combination designed around social use. Decking, shade, outdoor cooking and gathering areas can be considered at the same time so the elements feel connected.

Edgewater is based in Kerrville and offers custom pool construction, outdoor living and pool-care services across the Texas Hill Country. Evaluate any pool builder on the quality of completed work, the clarity of the proposal, the communication plan and how well they explain site-specific decisions.
The price depends on size, design, equipment, finish choices, excavation conditions and site access. A property-specific proposal is more useful than a generic price range because it separates base construction from upgrades and site work.
Rock can affect excavation methods, cost and scheduling. The extent is property-specific and is assessed during project planning.
Those are common design options for custom pools. We will confirm which configurations are feasible for your site during design.
The timeline depends on design approvals, permits, scheduling, site conditions, weather and selected features. Ask for a realistic project schedule and understand which milestones may change.
If your property has an HOA, its architectural rules may apply. Local permits and HOA approvals are separate considerations, so confirm both for your exact address.
Yes. Edgewater offers pool and outdoor living services. Discuss the complete backyard scope early so traffic flow, decking, shade and utilities can be considered together.
