Custom gunite pools for Granite Shoals — Lake LBJ lots where the town is named after what is under your yard, and the dig is the part that has to be quoted honestly.
Built for Granite Shoals backyards.
Granite Shoals is named for the rock, and the rock is not a formality. Excavation here can mean breaking granite rather than scooping caliche, and that is the number that has to be right in the quote or the whole job goes sideways. We check it on the first visit, every time.
Donna and Ben have been building gunite pools for over thirty years. Lake LBJ lots are worth the trouble — steady water year-round, unlike Travis, and lots that step down toward it in a way that gives a pool something to look at.
What we plan for here.
Actual granite
Most of Central Texas is limestone and caliche. Granite Shoals has harder rock than that in places, and it can need heavier equipment or breaking to get a shell in. We assess depth and hardness before quoting and put the removal cost in writing. Nobody should be re-pricing your job on dig day.
Lakefront lots and the drop
Lots running down toward Lake LBJ need engineered retaining and a drainage plan that carries water off the slope deliberately. That grade is also the reason a raised spa with a spillover, or a negative edge facing the water, works so well here.
Permits, septic and the shoreline
City of Granite Shoals building permits inside the city, Burnet County outside, LCRA where the property sits close to the water, and septic on a good number of lots. We confirm all of it against your address and locate the drain field before we draw anything.
Every service, in Granite Shoals.

We also build throughout Marble Falls, Burnet, Bertram, and Kingsland, and across Burnet County and Central Texas.
Most of our gunite pools run $85k–$145k with standard plaster; premium finishes, water features, and larger footprints push toward $180k–$220k. Granite excavation is the variable here — we assess it on the first visit and itemize it, rather than quoting low and re-pricing later.
Yes. It takes the right equipment and sometimes breaking, which costs more than a caliche dig and gets quoted as its own line. What matters is that you know the number before you sign, not after the machine arrives.
Regularly. Sloped lakefront sites need engineered retaining and real drainage, and properties near the shoreline may fall under LCRA review. We confirm the jurisdiction for your address and handle the permitting.
Within our radius, which is the whole point of keeping it tight — the same crew that digs your pool plasters it. If we ever could not staff a job here properly we would tell you rather than stretch.
