Hill Country Lagoons is West Austin’s builder of choice for affordable high-end Gunite pools that are engineered to last and designed to impress. With advanced construction materials, an exacting process, and over two decades of hands-on experience, we deliver pools that raise the standard.

We serve homeowners who refuse to compromise, those who want durability, beauty, and control over the final product. And we deliver it all with full transparency and local project oversight from day one.

Why Choose Hill Country Lagoons for Gunite?

Gunite is where cutting corners leads to big problems. That’s why we take a structural-first approach from the ground up, starting with a proprietary waterproofing admixture that makes our concrete shell over 30% stronger than standard builds.

This isn’t a detail we hide in the fine print. It’s the backbone of our work. Combined with premium materials and a skilled, disciplined crew, it creates a pool that lasts longer, performs better, and requires fewer costly repairs over time.

We keep our process transparent. Every decision is documented. Every expectation is clear. And we only take on projects where we know we can deliver to the highest standard.

It’s also why 4 out of 5 homeowners choose us to build.

A Clear, Confident Build Process

You don’t need fluff. You need clarity. Here’s what to expect when we build your Gunite pool:

Design Consultation

Couple reviewing a property plan with a real estate agent outdoors. Sunlight, model home, tablet.

We start with a conversation about your space, your goals, and how you want to use your pool. Every detail gets mapped, measured, and aligned with a realistic budget.

Engineering & Planning

Man and woman collaborating over blueprints in an office. Both point at the plans.

This is where we lead with precision. Our team finalizes structural specs, site planning, utilities, and materials, the foundation of everything that follows.

Structural Shell

Concrete pool under construction, with steps, spa, and earth surrounding.

We pour our Gunite shell with an industrial-strength waterproofing admixture, reducing the risk of cracks, leaks, and long-term wear. It’s the strongest shell we can build, and it shows.

Build & Finish

Pool equipment system installation with white PVC pipes in a dirt area.

From plumbing and tile to plaster and lighting, we execute with craftsmanship and accountability. We don’t rush. We don’t outsource core trades. We just get it done right.

Final Walkthrough

Pool with attached spa, turquoise water, stone coping, surrounded by paved patio.

Before we leave, we walk you through every detail. We don’t disappear, and we’re available long after your first swim.

How Much

Will My Pool Cost?

Most Gunite pool projects with Hill Country Lagoons start between $130,000–$225,000+, depending on features and complexity. That number reflects high-end materials, an engineering-first process, and a team that won’t settle for average.

This isn’t just a pool, it’s a high-performing structure designed for decades of use. We design to last. We build to exacting standards. And we price accordingly, with full transparency and detailed scope before any ground is broken.

You’ll always know where your money is going, what comes next, and who’s responsible.

Local Focus. Total Accountability

We deliberately limit our service area to: Lakeway, Bee Cave, Spicewood, and Steiner Ranch.

By staying focused on West Austin, we maintain faster timelines, tighter quality control, and better communication throughout every phase of the build. You get access to your builder, not a distant project manager. When something needs attention, we’re already nearby.
We believe staying local makes us better builders.
