New construction
Custom gunite pools
Designed for your yard and engineered for Hill Country geology: tanning ledges, raised spas, grottos, waterfalls, infinity edges and swim-up bars, residential and commercial.
How we build
Pools Your Kids Won't Want to Climb Out Of
Gunite pools cut into Hill Country limestone.
Custom gunite pools, renovations and outdoor living from the Pools Unlimited crew in Bulverde, building since 2000. Free on-site visit, 3D renderings and a fixed-price contract before anyone digs.
Why gunite, why here
Level water. Unlevel ground.
Rocky terrain, caliche soil and grades that never sit still are normal out here. A gunite shell is formed in place, so it follows the slope, sits on a raised wall or curves around an oak, and the waterline still comes out dead level.
No subs on design. The same crew carries your pool from excavation to tile, and Pentair and Zodiac equipment goes in with a three-year manufacturer warranty.
How a Hill Country pool gets builtWaterline
- Deck and copingTravertine, flagstone or concrete set to the same level as the water, so the pool and the patio read as one piece of work.
- Gunite shellShot on site and shaped to whatever the ground allows. Every shell carries a lifetime structural warranty.
- CalicheHard, chalky subsoil that turns most backyard digs into rock work. Planned for at the site visit, not discovered on day three.
- LimestoneBroken or blasted where the pool has to go, with retaining walls and drainage engineered in-house.
What we build
Four kinds of work, one crew from the first visit to the last tile.
New gunite pools lead, and everything around the water follows from the same hands: the remodel of a pool that looks like 2003, the patio and kitchen beside it, the community pool an HOA needs back open.
Remodel and resurface
Pool renovations
Re-plastering, re-tiling, coping, variable-speed equipment, LED lighting and automation, up to reshapes and full rebuilds. If a new build makes more sense, we say so.
Signs it is time
Around the water
Outdoor living
Patios and decking, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, gas fire features, retaining walls and landscape lighting, built by the same crew that built the pool.

Commercial work
The job that says it best
SYNC at Purgatory Creek: pools down six weeks, back open in one.
6 wks
The community pools had been down a month and a half with another resurfacing company.
3 days
From the first call to the Pools Unlimited crew on site.
1 week
To finish the resurfacing and hand the pools back.
“I called Pools Unlimited when we had issues with a different company we were using for resurfacing at SYNC at Purgatory Creek. Our pools had already been down for a month and a half so time was very important. They came 3 days later and finished in 1 week! The pools look great, they did an excellent job! Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new build or resurfacing.”
“They did a great job on our pool and gave us everything that we hoped for at a fair price.”
“They replaced the pool control system. Did an excellent job, we are extremely happy.”

The coping walk
Real Pools Unlimited jobs, one level edge at a time.
Every photo here is their own work around the Hill Country. Scroll, and the walk moves sideways along the coping.
Under the oak
A freeform pool tucked under a live oak
Flagstone coping, a stone waterfall at the far end and a deck that wraps the curve. Gunite can turn to meet a tree that was there first.
On the slope
A hillside pool on a falling lot
The yard drops away to the valley, so the shell and the deck were built to the grade instead of fighting it.
Raised spa
A raised spa above the pool
Stone-faced spa set above the waterline, spilling into a freeform pool with built-in steps and a broad sun deck.
Stacked stone
Straight lines and stacked stone
A rectangular pool and spa with stacked-stone walls and a raised bond beam, the clean geometry some yards ask for.
Mid-build
Flagstone walls going up
Retaining wall, steps and coping in Hill Country flagstone. The same crew carries the stonework from the shell to the patio.
Water feature
A raised wall that spills
Sheet water off a stone-faced wall, a covered patio behind and room for the umbrellas the Texas sun asks for.
Where we build
From 33145 Stahl Lane to the ranches in between.
The yard is in Bulverde. The work runs across the Texas Hill Country, plus the unincorporated land and ranch properties between the towns.

Before the site visit
What Hill Country homeowners ask first.
Paying over time? See the lenders on the financing page.
Most projects run 6 to 24 weeks from the first visit to handoff. Design takes 1 to 2 weeks with 3D renderings, permits and engineering 2 to 4 weeks, and the build itself 4 to 18 weeks depending on size, rock and features. You get weekly updates while we build.
Rocky terrain, caliche soil and unpredictable grades are normal here. A gunite shell is shaped on site to whatever the ground allows, so it can follow a slope, sit on a raised wall or tuck under an oak. Every gunite shell we build carries a lifetime structural warranty.
Most Hill Country pools run between $75,000 and $450,000. Rocky lots add roughly $8,000 to $25,000 for excavation and sloped lots $15,000 to $40,000. You get a fixed-price contract before any digging starts.
Yes. We re-plaster, re-tile, replace coping, upgrade equipment and add LED lighting and automation, and we reshape or fully rebuild when the shell calls for it. A renovation usually takes 6 to 10 weeks, and if a new build makes more sense we will tell you on the free on-site visit.
Yes, through Lyon Financial, LightStream and LendingClub. Typical terms run 5 to 20 years at a fixed rate, and Lyon Financial lends up to $150,000. You apply directly with the lender.
We are based at 33145 Stahl Lane in Bulverde and build across San Antonio, Spring Branch, Blanco, Boerne, New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, Johnson City, Marble Falls, Fredericksburg, Wimberley and the ranches in between.
