WhyDavidsonHomeownersChooseBlueWaters

Davidson is a college town with the design sensibility of a much larger city — a place where craftsmanship, scale, and how a backyard fits into the surrounding architecture genuinely matter. Blue Waters Construction builds custom gunite pools and outdoor living spaces for Davidson families who want the finished project to look like it belongs to the house, not bolted on after the fact.

We work throughout Davidson's premier communities — from the golf-course estates of River Run Country Club to the Craftsman-style homes of Bailey Springs, the established streets near Davidson College and downtown Main Street, and the lake-influenced neighborhoods on the western edge of town. Each of these areas presents different lot dimensions, tree coverage, and architectural vocabulary, and our designs respond to those constraints instead of fighting them.

Davidson families tend to be deliberate buyers. They want to know what the budget really is, what the timeline really is, and what the trade-offs are between, say, a sunken outdoor lounge with a fire feature versus a larger spa with an automatic cover. We build pools through a transparent process: 3D renderings before contract, a written scope that doesn't hide allowances, and one of the owners — Kevin or Chris — personally on your project from kickoff through walkthrough.

Like all of Mecklenburg County, Davidson pool construction goes through county permitting for building, electrical, and plumbing, plus barrier inspection under NC Residential Code Appendix V (48-inch minimum fence, self-closing and self-latching gates, 4-inch maximum openings). Many River Run, Bailey Springs, and similar Davidson neighborhoods also require HOA architectural-committee approval before construction begins — we prepare and submit those packages as part of the design phase.

Beyond the pool itself, we build the full outdoor environment: custom kitchens, pergolas, fire features, hardscape patios, retaining walls, and landscape integration so the whole backyard feels designed, not assembled.

FAQ

PoolBuildingQuestionsDavidson,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.
