Design the Custom Concrete Pool Your Groveland Backyard Deserves
Groveland is one of the fastest-growing cities in south Lake County, and new neighborhoods keep rising among the rolling hills, citrus groves and chain-of-lakes country that give the area its character.
For homeowners here, custom concrete pool building is a long-term investment in a backyard designed for year-round Florida living — weekend cookouts, after-school swims and quiet mornings by the water.
A gunite pool is formed on site rather than dropped in, so the shell can follow the slope of your lot, wrap around an existing patio, or stretch out across a wide-open homesite in one of Groveland’s newer communities.
Our team at R & R Swimming Pools walks the property with you first, talks through how your family actually plans to use the water, and designs from there. You can see the full scope of our gunite pool construction services before you ever commit to a plan.
What Your Custom Concrete Pool Build in Groveland Includes
Every gunite project we take on in Groveland follows the same in-house process, with no subcontracted core construction.
- Initial consultation and design planning — we walk your Groveland property, learn how you want to use the pool, and shape a size, layout and feature list that suits your lot and your budget.
- Engineering and permitting — plans are drawn, structurally reviewed and submitted so your build clears city and county requirements before a shovel moves.
- Excavation and steel — the shape is dug out and a reinforcing steel framework is tied to the engineered design.
- Gunite application — our own crew places the concrete shell, then cures it properly for strength that lasts.
- Plumbing, electrical and equipment set — circulation, lighting and sanitation systems are installed and tested.
- Tile, coping and decking — finish materials are chosen to match your home and your outdoor space.
- Interior finish and start-up — the surface goes on, the pool fills, and we walk you through balancing and operating it.
One crew handles the critical stages from first sketch to first swim, which is how we have built more than 1,000 pools across Central Florida.
Unlimited Design Options
Concrete pools can take almost any form — crisp geometric lines for a modern Groveland home, or soft free-form curves that feel like a natural lagoon.
Because the shell is built from scratch, our gunite crew can match an unusual lot line, a slope, or a specific view and still hit exact dimensions.
Luxury Features & Add-Ons
Thinking about a beach-entry tanning shelf, a raised spa that spills into the pool, fire bowls or color-changing lighting? Gunite construction makes those upgrades possible.
You are never limited to pre-molded shapes or factory sizing, so the finished pool reflects how your household actually likes to spend time outside.
Built to Last a Lifetime
A gunite pool is a steel-reinforced framework encased in several inches of concrete, engineered to stand up to Florida heat, humidity and heavy summer rain.
Cared for the way we show you at handoff, that shell serves a Groveland family for decades — and both of our pool types carry a limited lifetime warranty.
Increased Home Value
Putting in a custom concrete pool turns an ordinary Groveland backyard into usable outdoor living space you enjoy nearly year-round, and it rarely goes unnoticed when it comes time to sell. Throughout south Lake County, a thoughtfully engineered inground pool reads to buyers as an upgrade rather than an afterthought, which is why so many homeowners treat it as a lasting improvement to the property.

Why Groveland Families Choose R & R Swimming Pools
At R & R Swimming Pools, we have been shaping concrete pools across Central Florida since 1985, and that family legacy still guides how we treat every homeowner we meet.
We started small, grew by word of mouth in Lake County, and have now completed more than 1,000 pools without turning into a corporate operation.
That matters in a town like Groveland, where your neighbors ask who built the pool before they ask what it cost. We would rather explain the trade-offs honestly than sell you a feature you will not use.

Expert Gunite Craftsmanship
Gunite work rewards precision at every stage. Our trained crew controls the contours, the reinforcement layers and the interior finish so the shell is strong underneath and beautiful on the surface.
Family-Owned, Community-Driven
Every Groveland backyard we step into gets the same care we would give our own property. Our family has been building pools across Lake County since 1985, and that longevity has taught us what matters most: a pool should be safe, inviting, and built to hold up to years of weekends, birthdays, and quiet evenings with the people you care about.
Completely Customizable — 100%
Nothing here comes off a shelf. Decide on the shape and depth, then work through coping, waterline tile, interior finish, and the lighting package with us. What gets built matches the lines of your house, the way your Groveland yard sits, and how you actually plan to spend time outside.
End-to-End Project Management
Nothing critical gets handed off to outside crews. Permitting, excavation, gunite, plumbing, electrical, and the final walkthrough are all run by our own people, so you deal with one company and one familiar point of contact from the first sketch through your first swim in Groveland.
What to Expect During Your Groveland Concrete Pool Build
Initial Consultation & Design Planning
Everything opens with a long conversation at your home about how you picture using the water, what the yard will physically allow, and the look you keep coming back to. Setbacks, drainage, sun angles, and equipment access on your Groveland lot all get noted before we draw anything, then we build a layout that genuinely belongs to your property rather than a reused plan.
Engineering & Permits
After you sign off on the design, our office takes over the engineered drawings and the permit submittals so you never stand in line at a counter. We keep the plan set compliant with City of Groveland and Lake County requirements, coordinate inspections, and locate utilities so approvals are in hand before any machinery rolls into the backyard.
Excavation & Steel Framework
Our crew lays out the shape, protects your access route, and digs the pool to the engineered depths, adjusting as needed for the sandy and occasionally clay-heavy soils found around Groveland. A tied rebar cage then goes in at precise spacing, forming the structural skeleton that keeps the shell true for decades.
Gunite Application
High-strength gunite is shot over the steel by our own nozzle crew, who carve each bench, sun shelf, step, and radius by hand as the material goes on. The shell is then watered and allowed to cure on schedule so it reaches full density and strength before any finish work begins.
Tile, Coping, Decking & Interior Finish
Waterline tile and coping are set, the deck is poured or pavers are laid, and your chosen interior finish is applied to give the pool its final color and feel. We match materials to the home so the finished area looks like part of the house instead of something added later.
Start-Up & First Swim
Pumps, filtration, heaters, and lighting are commissioned and tested, the water is balanced, and we walk you through day-to-day care before handing over the keys. Families a few minutes up the road in Leesburg move through the identical sequence with the same crew.

Custom Concrete Pool Building in Groveland: What Homeowners Should Know
Groveland sits in the rolling, sandy highlands of south Lake County, where well-drained soils over limestone are common across the region. Site conditions can shift from one street to the next, which is why a properly engineered gunite shell starts with sound structural design rather than a template.
Our team coordinates engineering and permitting for every build so the shell is designed for the ground it actually sits on.
A few things worth knowing before you plan a pool here:
- New-construction lots — many Groveland homes sit on recently developed parcels where fill, grading and drainage all factor into pool placement.
- Older homes near the lakes — mature trees, septic systems and tight side-yard access change how we stage equipment and schedule excavation.
- HOA review — a lot of Groveland subdivisions require architectural approval, and we help prepare plans that satisfy both the city and the association.
- Screen enclosures and decking — summer rain, sun exposure and bugs all influence whether you want a cage, extra deck or shade structure designed in from the start.
If you are comparing options across the county, our concrete pool pages for Tavares and Eustis walk through the same build process in those markets.
Questions Groveland Families Ask About Gunite Pools
How long does a custom concrete pool take to build in Groveland?
Most gunite projects run roughly three to five months from permit to final plaster, depending on how complex the design is and how quickly local permitting moves.
We keep you posted at each phase so the schedule never catches you off guard.
How do you account for Groveland soil conditions when building a gunite pool?
Soil and grading vary across south Lake County, so every Groveland pool starts with engineering rather than guesswork.
Our team coordinates the structural design and permitting so the shell is built for the conditions on your specific lot.
Why choose a gunite pool for a Groveland backyard?
Gunite gives you unlimited shapes, depths and custom features because the shell is formed on site and built entirely from scratch.
Our team will walk your Groveland property, listen to how you plan to use the water, and recommend a design that fits the space honestly — including the upkeep that comes with it.
Will my Groveland HOA need to approve the pool plans?
Many Groveland subdivisions do require architectural or HOA review before construction begins.
We help homeowners assemble plans that meet both city building code and any community approval process, so the submittal goes through cleanly.
What kind of maintenance does a gunite pool require?
Plan on regular water chemistry care and periodic resurfacing, typically somewhere in the ten to fifteen year range depending on use and water balance.
We can set you up with equipment such as saltwater chlorination and automation to make weekly upkeep easier.
Is financing available for a new concrete pool?
Yes. R & R Swimming Pools works with Lyon Financial as our primary financing partner and Viking Capital as a secondary option.
Ask your design consultant during your free consultation and we will help you plan the project around your budget.
