Quick Answer
Building an in-ground pool in Knoxville and East Tennessee runs $70,000 to $350,000+. A fiberglass pool ($70,000 to $190,000+) installs fastest, in about 3 to 4 weeks, while a custom gunite pool ($95,000 to $350,000+) takes about 8 to 12 weeks but offers unlimited shape and features.
- Fiberglass: $70,000 to $190,000+, swim-ready in about 3 to 4 weeks, with the lowest lifetime maintenance.
- Gunite (custom concrete): $95,000 to $350,000+, built on-site over about 8 to 12 weeks in any shape, with the highest resale value.
- Biggest cost drivers: pool size and depth, site access and slope, interior finish, decking, and features like spas, automation, or water features.
- We build both and handle design, permits, and the full build with one point of contact.

Should I get a fiberglass or gunite pool?
Fiberglass is faster (3 to 4 weeks) and lower-maintenance, ideal for standard shapes and flatter lots. Gunite is built on-site in any shape with unlimited customization and the highest resale value. We build both and will tell you honestly which fits your yard and budget.
Installed in 3 to 4 Weeks.
Fiberglass pools are pre-manufactured shells that we crane into your backyard, level, plumb, and finish. They are the fastest route from dirt to swim, with a smooth, non-porous surface that resists algae.
We are an authorized Imagine Pools dealer, offering shapes from 10'x20' plunge pools up to 16'x40' resort-style designs.
Completely Custom. Limitless Design.
Gunite (shotcrete) pools are built on-site, giving you unlimited freedom in shape, depth, and features. Want a beach entry? A sunken lounge? An infinity edge overlooking the Smokies? Gunite makes it possible.
