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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
