Custom gunite pools

Custom gunite pool
construction in Houston.

New gunite pools planned around your property, your yard and the way you actually want to use the space.

A new pool should
belong to the house.

Royal Waterscapes builds custom gunite pools for Houston homeowners with a practical, hands-on approach. Work starts with the property itself — the yard, the access, the drainage, the way the home opens onto the outdoor space — and the pool is planned from there. Gunite lets the shell be shaped to the site rather than to a catalog, so the pool can follow the yard, the house and the way you want to use it.

From the first conversation through construction, Oswaldo stays involved while experienced crews carry out the work. You know what's happening and why at each stage.

What's involved

What a gunite pool project usually includes.

Layout & planning
Shape, placement and proportions worked out against the yard, the home and how the space will be used.
Excavation, steel & gunite
Site preparation, excavation, steel reinforcement and the sprayed gunite shell that everything else is built on.
Plumbing & equipment
Circulation, filtration and equipment set up for the size and type of pool being built.
Interior finish & tile
Interior surface, waterline tile and coping selected to suit the finished look you're after.
Decking & surrounds
Deck surfaces and transitions that connect the pool back to the house and the yard.
Lighting & features
Pool lighting, spa integration and water features where they make sense for the project.
The work

A closer look at
construction work.

Design inspiration for the kind of new-build work Royal Waterscapes takes on across Houston — geometry, decking, finishes and lighting handled as one project rather than a list of trades.

Common questions

Good to know.

It starts with a conversation about your property, what you want from the space and the work involved. From there we review the site and determine the best path forward.

Yes. Access, grade, existing landscaping and the layout of the home all shape the plan for a new pool, and those are reviewed before any scope is set.

Royal Waterscapes works on pool construction along with the surrounding surfaces and features that make the space usable.

Send a few details about the property and the project through the website and the Royal Waterscapes team will follow up to discuss next steps.
