Concrete Pool Installation by Beyond Blue Group

A concrete pool is one of the most permanent additions you can make to a property, which makes the quality of the build especially important. Without an experienced team, even a beautiful design can lead to structural issues, finishes that fail prematurely, or a finished product that simply does not match what was promised at the start.

Beyond Blue is a design-build firm with more than a decade of concrete pool construction experience across the Midwest. Our team handles design, engineering, and construction in-house, which keeps accountability in one place and the finished pool faithful to the original vision. Every shell we build is engineered for monolithic strength and made to last for generations.

What Concrete Pool Installation Actually Involves

Concrete pool installation is the construction of a fully custom pool shell using hand-laid steel reinforcement and pneumatically applied gunite or shotcrete. Unlike pre-formed options, a concrete pool can be designed in any shape, depth, or configuration, with integrated features such as spillways, sun shelves, and bench seating built directly into the structure.

At Beyond Blue, every concrete pool is designed and constructed by our in-house team. We handle excavation, formwork, steel placement, shotcrete application, and finish preparation ourselves, which allows for tighter quality control at every step and a finished pool that delivers on the original design.

What’s included

What's Included in a Concrete Pool Installation

Site Survey and Excavation

We begin with a detailed site survey that maps slopes, soil conditions, drainage, and sightlines on your property. Excavation is then performed with care for the surrounding landscape and structures, preparing a stable base for the pool shell.

Steel Reinforcement

Our crews hand-lay a steel reinforcement cage that creates the rigid framework behind your pool’s structural integrity. Every bar is tied and inspected before any concrete is applied.

Gunite or Shotcrete Application

Once the steel framework is in place, we apply high-performance gunite or shotcrete to form a dense, waterproof shell. Each pour is monitored for thickness, consistency, and proper curing, all of which contribute to the pool’s long-term strength.

Custom Tile, Plaster, and Aggregate Finishes

After the shell cures, we apply your selected interior finish, which may include hand-cut tile, durable aggregates, or premium plaster blends. Each finish is chosen for both aesthetics and long-term performance in your specific water chemistry and climate.

Coping, Decking, and Hardscape Integration

We finish the perimeter with custom coping and integrate the pool with surrounding decking, patios, and hardscape features. The transition from water to land is designed to look intentional and to function comfortably underfoot.

Equipment, Plumbing, and Lighting

All plumbing, equipment, and lighting are installed and configured by our team. Pumps, filters, heaters, automation systems, and lighting are calibrated for quiet, efficient operation before the pool is filled.

How it works

What Our Concrete Pool Installation Process Looks Like

01/ 05

  1. 01 — Stage

    Consultation and Site Evaluation

    We begin by understanding how you intend to use the pool. Our team then walks the property to evaluate slope, soil, drainage, and access, helping us identify what is possible and appropriate for your specific site.

  2. 02 — Stage

    Design and 3D Visualization

    We sketch your concrete pool, refine the design with you, and render it in scaled 3D. You will see how the pool sits in the landscape, including light, shadow, water flow, and surrounding hardscape, before any final commitment.

  3. 03 — Stage

    Engineering, Permits, and Material Selection

    Once the design is approved, we finalize structural engineering, secure permits, and confirm finish selections. Every specification, from rebar grade to plaster blend, is documented in writing before construction begins.

  4. 04 — Stage

    Excavation, Steel, and Shell Construction

    Excavation, steel placement, and gunite or shotcrete application are managed by our in-house crews. Quality is checked at each phase to confirm that the shell is structurally sound before finishes are applied.

  5. 05 — Stage

    Finishes, Equipment, and Final Walkthrough

    We complete the pool with your selected finishes, install and balance all equipment, and walk you through the finished build. By the end of the orientation, you will know exactly how to operate and care for your concrete pool.

Why Beyond Blue

Why Homeowners Choose Beyond Blue for Concrete Pool Installation

Concrete pool construction rewards experience. The right team brings structural rigor, attention to detail, and clear communication across a build that involves dozens of trades and many weeks of work. Beyond Blue brings all of that under one roof.

  1. 01 Design and Build Under One Roof The team that designs your concrete pool is the same team that builds it. We are accountable from first concept to final fill, with no fragmented subcontractor handoffs and no surprises at the final walkthrough.
  2. 02 Hand-Laid Steel and Inspected Pours Our crews hand-tie every steel reinforcement cage and inspect each gunite or shotcrete pour for thickness and consistency. Structural integrity is verified at every phase of construction, not assumed at the end.
  3. 03 A Decade-Plus of Midwest Experience Since 2012, we have been building concrete pools across Kansas City, Omaha, the Lake of the Ozarks, and Columbia. We understand how soil conditions, freeze-thaw cycles, and seasonal extremes affect concrete pool performance over time.
  4. 04 Premium Finishes Specified for Performance We specify plaster, aggregate, and tile based on what will hold up to your water chemistry, climate, and daily use. Finish quality affects how the pool looks, how it feels, and how often it needs resurfacing over its lifetime.
  5. 05 Clear, Collaborative Communication You will always know what is happening on your project, when, and why. Decisions are made together, timelines are honored, and expectations are documented in writing rather than left to verbal exchange.
  6. 06 Built for the Long Run Our concrete pools are engineered for owners who plan to stay in their property. Every structural and material decision is made for thirty-year performance rather than for a quick install or a finished photograph.

Reviews

What our
clients say

Of all the contractors I have ever dealt with, Beyond Blue Outdoor Group has been the only one I would not hesitate to promote to my closest friends. Beyond Blue’s BEAUTIFUL rock hardscape around our pool has truly been the focal point of our back yard and we could not be more proud. Their crew was on time every day, kept a clean jobsite and was extremely easy to work with. My wife and I have had our fair share of bad contractor experiences, so it’s refreshing to know that there are still honest ones out there. Thank you.
Jeremy M. Blue Springs
This addition has completely transformed our patio—it truly feels like we’ve added another room to our home. If you’re on the fence about retractable screens, we highly recommend going for it. You won’t regret it!
Crystal R. Kansas City
Beyond blue installed a Suncoast pergola with electric retractable screens, luvered ceiling, and recirculating water curtain 'water fall'. It is an incredible addition to my pool area. Fast efficient and affordable. On top of that they have a pool maintenence service, James has my salt water pool perfectly balanced and looking better than it ever has. Highly recommend Beyond Blue if you're wanting a high quality backyard Oasis!!!
Todd R. Prairie Village
Thank you Dylan and Jason for making our pool experience so great! Thanks to Lalo, Armondo, Caesar and Jesus for all their hard work. We love it—should’ve done it years ago!
Robert M. Overland Park
We installed these huge sliding doors in our new home and then realize you can never leave them open because in Missouri you have bugs! Our new screen has changed that, along with giving us some shade at certain times of the day. We have nothing but praise from start to finish with Dylan and Beyond Blue.
Russell, C. Retractable screens
We struggled to get even a response from other shade companies. Dylan not only answered the phone but was at my house the next day. I’ve had power screens before (shadeworks), the experience with Dylan and the beyond blue team and the product blew us away. Shades are gorgeous, project done on time and budget, and the install was very professional and nice to work with. I’m a big fan on the product, the company, and Dylan; Two thumbs up from us!

FAQ

Frequently asked
questions

A rectangular concrete pool in a landscaped backyard
How long does a concrete pool take to build?
Concrete pool construction typically runs 12 to 20 weeks from groundbreaking to final fill. The exact timeline depends on design complexity, hardscape integration, finish selections, weather, and permitting. We provide a detailed schedule before construction begins so there are no surprises along the way.
How much does a concrete pool cost?
Concrete pool pricing varies based on size, depth, shape, finish, equipment, and surrounding features. After your consultation, we prepare a detailed scope and proposal so that you can plan with full clarity. We do not quote ranges over the phone, since every project is different and we prefer to provide accurate numbers rather than vague estimates.
How long does a concrete pool last?
A properly built concrete pool can last 50 years or more, with periodic resurfacing of the interior finish every 10 to 15 years, depending on water chemistry and use. The structural shell itself, when engineered and poured correctly, is designed to last for the lifetime of the property.
What kind of finishes are available for concrete pools?
Concrete pools can be finished with traditional plaster, durable aggregate blends, or hand-cut tile. Each option offers a different look, texture, and performance profile. We will help you select a finish that suits both your aesthetic preferences and your long-term performance expectations.
Do I need permits, and will you handle them?
Yes. Most municipalities require structural, electrical, and plumbing permits for concrete pool installation. We handle all permitting as part of the project, so you do not need to navigate the process on your own.
What kind of warranty comes with a Beyond Blue concrete pool?
We provide structural and equipment warranties tailored to your specific build. Full details are reviewed during your consultation and outlined in your project agreement.
Can a concrete pool be customized after it is built?
Yes. One of the advantages of concrete construction is that the shell can be modified to add features, change finishes, or expand the pool over time. We work with homeowners on remodels and additions to existing concrete pools as well.
