Mecklenburg County

Pool Builder
in Cornelius, NC

Cornelius sits right on Lake Norman, and the work splits neatly in two: established lake lots where the view drives the whole design, and newer inland neighbourhoods with room for a full backyard build.

Building in Cornelius

Mecklenburg County permitting with town review on top. Anything lake-adjacent brings shoreline buffers and a slope down to the water, which puts retaining and drainage into the number early. We establish both on the first site visit so the quote you get is the price you pay.

We keep the service radius tight on purpose — roughly an hour of the shop. That's how crews arrive when they said they would, and how we get back out quickly if something needs attention after handoff. Cornelius is comfortably inside it.

Scope

Custom PoolsMake it your own, with our custom pools. Spa, benches, tanning ledge, infinity edge, if you can imagine it, we can build it.Plunge PoolsEnjoy the evenings with our compact custom concrete pools for smaller lots and tighter budgets, built to the same shell and equipment spec as a full-size build.Spas & Hot TubsWarm up year round with our raised, spillover, and standalone gunite spas, tied straight into the pool's plumbing and automation.Water & Fire FeaturesWaterfalls, sheer descents, grottos, and fire bowls, engineered into the plumbing from the start rather than added on.Outdoor KitchensBecome the king of BBQ parties with our built-in grills, stone counters, refrigeration, and bar seating on a masonry base.Shade StructuresStay in the shade with our custom engineered and built pergolas, pavilions, and gazebos.Outdoor LightingSet the evening mood right with our low-voltage path, wall, tree, and pool lighting options.Sport CourtsDedicate part of your yard to physical exercise. Pickleball, basketball, and multi-sport surfaces, we got it!HardscapesGive your yard more usable space with patios, retaining walls, steps, and pool decking in paver, travertine, or natural stone.LandscapesAdd some greenery to your project. Planting plans, sod, beds, and grading, designed to complement the rest of your build.FencingKeep the yard secure and private with our code-compliant pool barrier and privacy fencing, set on posts deep enough to stay plumb.Drainage & GradingGrading, French drains, and downspout runs that take water somewhere sensible instead of into your patio.

How It Works

The Same Five Steps, Every Time

01

Consultation

We walk the yard together, take measurements, and talk through your vision for the space.

02

Quote & 3D Rendering

An itemized quote and a 3D rendering of the yard, drawn to the measurements taken on site.

03

Design Review

You look it over and tell us what to change. We revise the layout, the features, and the finishes until it's right.

04

Construction

Six to eight weeks from dig to swimming on a typical build, with transparent updates as we move through the process.

05

Startup & Handoff

Once water's in, our maintenance crew sets up the system and manages it for the first few weeks to ensure a smooth startup.

Homeowner Reviews

In Their Words

If you are thinking of having a pool installed, give Robert a call. Very transparent on timelines and costs. His team of dedicated stone masons and skilled subcontractors created an amazing custom pool for our family despite not having huge amounts of real estate to work with. Our plunge pool, spa and grotto were the perfect size for the family and our friends.
