WhyBallantyneHomeownersChooseBlueWaters

Ballantyne is synonymous with luxury living in south Charlotte, and homeowners in this prestigious area expect nothing less than exceptional craftsmanship. Blue Waters Construction delivers custom gunite pools and complete outdoor living transformations that match the caliber of Ballantyne's most exclusive addresses — built by a licensed General Contractor, not a cookie-cutter pool installer.

We build throughout Ballantyne's premier neighborhoods — from the gated estates and golf-course homes of Ballantyne Country Club to Piper Glen's established fairway lots, the executive homes of Stonecrest, and the newer luxury communities off Providence Road West and Rea Road. Each of these neighborhoods presents its own lot dimensions, mature tree coverage, and architectural vocabulary, and our designs respond to those constraints instead of forcing a stock plan onto your backyard.

Ballantyne's upscale homes and tighter premium lots often call for a fully integrated outdoor build — a custom gunite pool with an integrated spa, an outdoor kitchen under a covered pavilion, a fire feature with a seating wall, paver decking, water features, and landscape lighting tied together as one cohesive design. We design and build all of it under one contract, which means one team, one schedule, and one accountable point of contact from first 3D rendering through final walkthrough.

On the permitting side, Ballantyne pool projects go through Mecklenburg County for building, electrical, and plumbing permits, plus barrier inspection under NC Residential Code Appendix V — a 48-inch minimum fence, self-closing and self-latching gates, no opening greater than 4 inches, and no gap greater than 2 inches beneath the barrier. Nearly every Ballantyne HOA — including Ballantyne Country Club and Piper Glen — also requires architectural-review-committee approval before construction begins. We prepare and submit those packages as part of the design phase so your project starts clean.

As a licensed General Contractor in both NC and SC, one of the owners — Kevin or Chris — personally oversees every Ballantyne project. You get transparent pricing with 3D renderings before contract, professional project management, and the option to finance through Lyon Financial. You work directly with ownership, not a sales rep who disappears after the contract is signed.

FAQ

PoolBuildingQuestionsBallantyne,NC

How much does a custom gunite pool cost in Charlotte?

Custom pools with Blue Waters typically start around $75,000 for a basic pool and around $95,000 for a basic pool and spa. Luxury custom projects with premium features, complex site work, and full outdoor living elements can exceed $250,000. During your free consultation, we'll build a detailed estimate around your exact property, design, and priorities.

How long does it take to build a pool?

A typical custom gunite pool build takes 8–14 weeks from groundbreaking to completion. The timeline varies based on design complexity, weather conditions, permitting, and any additional outdoor living features. We'll provide a detailed timeline during the proposal phase.

What is a gunite pool and why is it better?

Gunite (also called shotcrete) is a mixture of concrete, sand, and water applied pneumatically to create incredibly strong, durable pool shells. Unlike fiberglass or vinyl liner pools, gunite allows for completely custom shapes, depths, and features. Gunite pools last 50+ years and can be refinished, making them the gold standard for luxury pool construction.

Do I need a permit to build a pool in Charlotte?

Yes, pool construction in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County requires building permits, electrical permits, and often zoning approval. If you have an HOA, their approval is also required. We handle all permitting as part of our full-service approach — you don't need to navigate the bureaucracy yourself.

Do you offer financing for pool construction?

Yes! We've partnered with Lyon Financial, the nation's premier pool financing company, to offer competitive rates and flexible terms. Many of our clients find that financing makes their dream pool more accessible than they expected. Visit our Financing page to learn more and get pre-qualified.
