A gunite pool is the most flexible way to build a pool in Arcade. The shell is formed from steel rebar and pneumatically applied concrete, so the shape, depth and features are set by your design rather than by a factory mold.
Bulldog Pool Builders designs and builds custom gunite pools for homeowners in Arcade and across Jackson County. Every project starts with a site visit to look at grade, drainage, access and how the pool will sit relative to the house, so the plan fits the property before any digging begins.
Why Gunite Works Well for Arcade Backyards
Red clay and sloped lots are common across North Georgia, and they can make pool placement tricky. Because gunite is formed on site, it can be built into a hillside, stepped down a grade or fitted to an irregular footprint. It also supports features that are hard to get any other way: tanning ledges, built-in benches, beach entries, raised or spillover spas, and vanishing or perimeter-overflow edges.
Once the shell cures, the interior is finished with plaster, quartz or pebble aggregate, and the waterline is tiled. Coping, lighting and water features are planned alongside the shell, so the finished pool looks like one design rather than a set of add-ons.
A typical gunite build with Bulldog Pool Builders includes:
- Site visit, design and layout planning
- Building permits and code inspections handled for you
- Excavation, steel reinforcement and plumbing
- Gunite shell application and curing
- Tile, coping, interior finish and equipment start-up
