How Much Does and In-ground Pool Cost?
Every project is unique, just like every backyard. At Precision Pool and Spa, we build everything from $35,000 custom spas to $500,000 full-scale outdoor estates. During your complimentary consultation, we take the time to understand the features, finishes, and enhancements you envision. From there, we provide a clear and customized estimate based on your preferences. Our pricing is transparent, and you’ll find that many high-quality elements are included in our base price, with no surprise upcharges for the essentials.
Why We Only Build Gunite Pools
We’ve done the research. After decades in the pool industry, we’ve worked with all types of pool systems—and our choice is clear. We believe in the strength, beauty, and flexibility of custom gunite pools. It’s why we’ve built our reputation and our business around one specialty: designing and constructing premium in-ground gunite pools and spas. No two Precision pools are the same, because no two clients are the same. If you’re looking for fiberglass or above-ground options, we may not be the right fit—but if you’re dreaming of a completely custom gunite pool, you’re in the right place.
Starting Costs
The starting price for a custom-designed gunite pool is typically between $80,000 and $90,000*, with the total investment varying greatly depending on size, features, finishes, and site conditions. We’ve designed everything from elegant spas to expansive backyard estates exceeding several hundred thousand dollars. Because every project is entirely custom, we begin with a conversation, learning your vision, evaluating your site, and preparing a personalized estimate tailored to your needs.

What Influences Pool Cost?
There are many factors that impact the overall cost of your custom gunite pool. Some are straightforward, like the size of the pool or the number of features, while others depend on site logistics or utility access. Here are a few key considerations:
Location and Site Access
Where the pool will be built affects more than just its layout. We consider how equipment will access the site, where excavated soil will be stored, what lies beneath the ground, and how utilities like gas, water, and electric will be run. Septic systems, setbacks, and drainage also come into play and can impact both the scope and timeline of the project.
Features and Enhancements
Your choice of features will shape both the design and the investment. Some elements, like tanning ledges or lighting, are commonly included in most designs, while others, such as fire pits, waterfalls, diving rocks, or automatic covers, can significantly expand the scale of the project. We guide you through all the options during your consultation and include everything you choose in your proposal.
Landscaping
While we don’t offer in-house landscaping or hardscaping services, we collaborate closely with the area’s top landscape architects and designers to bring your entire backyard vision to life. Whether you’re planning lush plantings, patios, outdoor kitchens, or retaining walls, we’ll point you in the right direction and help coordinate your complete outdoor transformation.
