New Gunite Pools in Frisco, TX

Building a new pool is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your home, and getting the construction right matters. Gunite is the gold standard for inground pools, delivering structural strength, total design flexibility, and a finish that holds up against Texas summers for decades.

TidalWave Custom Pools builds new gunite pools across Frisco and the surrounding North Texas communities. From the initial design consultation to the day you take your first swim, our team manages every step in-house so nothing falls through the cracks.

Frisco homeowners have unique needs. The clay-heavy soil across Collin County requires careful engineering, and neighborhoods from Phillips Creek Ranch to Stonebriar come with their own HOA guidelines. We know this market well and build accordingly.

What You Get With a New Gunite Pool

Design Freedom You Won't Find With Fiberglass

Gunite pools are formed on-site using a pneumatically applied concrete mixture, which means your pool can be any shape, depth, or size. Resort-style negative edge? Beach entry with a tanning ledge? An attached spa with a spillover feature? All of it is possible with gunite construction.

Built to Last in North Texas Conditions

Frisco summers push triple digits, and the local soil expands and contracts with seasonal moisture changes. Gunite pools are engineered to handle all of it. A properly built gunite shell resists cracking, settling, and the structural issues that plague lesser construction methods.

Real Property Value

In a market where outdoor living is a serious selling point, a well-built gunite pool stands out. Buyers recognize quality construction. The long service life of a gunite pool means you won't be replacing it anytime soon, and the investment tends to return well when it's time to sell.

Local Expertise That Matters

Some pool builders subcontract the work to whoever is available. We keep our crew consistent from excavation through final inspection. That means accountability at every stage and no miscommunication between rotating contractors.

Finish Selection Included

Your interior surface is part of the conversation from day one. We walk you through every available pool finish option, from standard plaster to premium pebble aggregate, so you choose the look and durability level that fits your budget.

Our New Pool Construction Process

• Step 1: Design Consultation: We meet at your property, assess the space, and work through your vision. Shape, features, placement, and budget all get covered in this first conversation.
• Step 2: Engineering and Permits: Our team handles all structural engineering and pulls every required permit from the City of Frisco. You don't have to chase paperwork.
• Step 3: Excavation: We dig the pool shell to engineered specifications, removing soil and preparing the site for steel placement.
• Step 4: Steel Installation: A rebar cage is installed to reinforce the shell, providing the structural backbone of your pool.
• Step 5: Gunite Application: Our crew applies the gunite mixture at high pressure, building up the shell to its designed thickness throughout.
• Step 6: Plumbing and Electrical: All equipment, plumbing lines, and electrical systems are installed and inspected before any finishing work begins.
• Step 7: Interior Finish: We apply your chosen interior surface to complete the shell and give the pool its final look.
• Step 8: Fill and Startup: Once the pool passes final inspection, we fill it, balance the chemistry, and walk you through everything you need to know about operating your new pool.
