Expert Concrete Services for Your Dream Pool
A pool contractor is a construction professional who manages the planning, building, renovation, and structural installation of swimming pools. Searching for an experienced inground pool builder? Our crew constructs custom shotcrete pools, hydrotherapy spas, and stone decks designed for durability. Gunite pools offer greater design flexibility than fiberglass pools, and custom pool construction provides more personalization than prefabricated pool systems. Backed by 40+ years of masonry experience, we handle 3D modeling, municipal permits, earth excavation, rebar grids, high-density shotcrete shells, and premium plastering.
We serve homeowners across Sherwood Forest, Encino, Calabasas, Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Santa Monica. Every pool shell is engineered to handle local soil conditions and seismic ground movement.

"In this video, master builder Lupe Banuelos shows how we build concrete pools. Watch our crew dig the soil, set up steel rebar, spray high-strength concrete, and finish stone decks across the valley and coastal communities."
How Do We Design Your Concrete Pool?
We start every project with custom Computer-Aided Design (CAD) 3D modeling. Our design team measures your yard, checks property lines, and reviews your soil. This creates a clear plan that fits your outdoor space and lifestyle.
You can choose modern straight lines or natural curved shapes. We can add sun shelves, waterfalls, hot tubs, and stone patios. Our 3D models let you see your whole backyard before we start digging.
Why Do We Use High-Grade Shotcrete?
We spray thick concrete at 4,000 PSI over tied steel rebar. This makes one solid, seamless shell that holds water securely. It protects your pool from soil pressure and earthquakes for decades.
Next, we add waterproof seals, waterline glass tiles, and smooth plaster. Our skilled masonry contractor crew also installs custom stone edges. This gives you a clean, durable pool that looks great.
How Do We Manage City Permits?
Getting local building permits can feel stressful for homeowners. We manage all city paperwork for you. We work directly with the Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) and regional municipal agencies to secure all required structural building permits.
We submit structural plans, talk with plan checkers, and schedule all on-site inspections. Our hands-on process keeps your project on track from the first drawing to final sign-off.
What Is Our Guarantee to You?
We offer a strong structural warranty on every new concrete pool shell. We provide fixed-price quotes with clear payment steps so there are no surprise fees.
Our site supervisors run daily work and give you weekly updates. We check every pipe, test every pump, and balance the water so your pool is ready to swim in.

Malibu Waterfall & Custom Rock Pool Build
For this Malibu home, our crew dug into steep hillside soil. We poured deep concrete beams to make sure the slope stays stable during heavy rains and earthquakes.
We added energy-saving variable-speed pumps, saltwater filters, and smart controls that follow Pool and Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) standards.
Our 4-Step Concrete Pool Construction Process
We create 3D plans, dig the pool site, spray strong shotcrete over steel rebar, and install stone coping with plaster.

1
Step 1: Plan, Architecture & Permits
We inspect your yard, test your soil, and create detailed 3D plans. We submit engineering forms to the city building department for fast permit approvals.
This early planning step stops costly delays and makes sure your pool meets all local safety rules.

Step 2: Excavation & Earth Grading
Our heavy equipment operators dig out the pool shape with laser guides. We install underground plumbing pipes and protect the rest of your yard.
We grade the soil carefully so water drains away from your house and new pool deck.

Step 3: Steel Rebar Frame & Shotcrete Shell
We tie a strong grid of steel rebar throughout the pool basin. Then we spray high-pressure shotcrete concrete to create one solid shell.
This monolithic concrete structure creates thick, leak-proof pool walls built to last for generations.

Step 4: Masonry Coping, Plaster & Fill
We lay natural stone coping, set waterline tiles, and apply smooth quartz plaster. Then we connect the pool pumps and test the water.
Once filled, we balance the pool chemicals so your new swimming pool is clean, clear, and ready to enjoy.
