Build the Custom Concrete Pool You’ve Always Dreamed Of in Haines Creek
Haines Creek is a quiet Lake County community strung along the waterway that links Lake Eustis and Lake Griffin, where homes sit on generous lots, many of them backing up to water or mature oak canopy.
That setting is made for outdoor living, and a custom concrete pool building project is one of the few upgrades that turns a Haines Creek backyard into an everyday destination rather than a view you look at from inside.
Gunite construction gives you freedom most backyards here need:
- Any shape, any size — the shell is formed on site, so an odd lot line, a slope toward the creek or a cluster of oaks is a design input, not a dealbreaker.
- Features built in, not bolted on — sun shelves, spas, benches and water features become part of the structure.
- Built for Florida — a steel-reinforced gunite shell is engineered to live outdoors in our heat, humidity and summer storms.
R & R Swimming Pools has been building pools across Lake County and Central Florida since 1985, and our in-house crews handle the core construction from excavation through start-up. You can see the full scope of our custom gunite pool construction and how it applies to your property.
What’s Included in Your Custom Concrete Pool Build in Haines Creek
Every concrete pool we build follows the same in-house sequence, with no subcontracted core construction and one team you can reach from first sketch to first swim.
Initial Consultation & Design Planning
We walk your Haines Creek property, talk through how your family will actually use the pool, and lay out a shape, depth and feature plan that fits the lot, the setbacks and your budget.
Engineering, Permitting & Site Prep
We prepare the structural drawings and handle Lake County permitting, then stake the pool, protect access and get the site ready for excavation.
Excavation & Steel
The shell is dug to your exact design and tied with a steel rebar cage that gives the gunite its strength.
Gunite Application
Our crew applies the gunite shell by hand, shaping every curve, step, bench and sun shelf before it cures.
Tile, Coping & Decking
You choose waterline tile, coping and deck surface, and we set them so the finished edge looks right from the house and from the water.
Plumbing, Equipment & Interior Finish
Lines, pumps, filtration, lighting and sanitation go in, then the interior finish is applied and the pool is filled, balanced and started up.
Final Walkthrough
We hand the pool over in person, show you how everything runs, and answer every question before we leave.
Unlimited Design Options
A gunite shell is formed on site, so your pool can be anything from a crisp rectangle beside a screened lanai to a free-form shape that follows the curve of a Haines Creek shoreline lot. If you can picture it, our crew can build it to exact dimensions.
Luxury Features & Add-Ons
Infinity edges, beach-entry tanning shelves, an attached spa, fire bowls, bubblers and custom LED lighting are all on the table. Because nothing is pre-molded, you’re never choosing from a catalog of fixed sizes — the pool is designed around your yard and your family from scratch.
Built to Last a Lifetime
Concrete pools are built on a steel-reinforced framework covered in roughly 6 to 12 inches of gunite, engineered for strength in Florida’s heat, humidity and storm season. Both of the pool types we build carry a limited lifetime warranty, and with routine care your concrete pool will serve your family for decades.
Increased Home Value
A custom concrete pool adds beauty, usable outdoor space and lasting appeal to a Haines Creek home. In a Lake County market where buyers already come for the water and the weather, a well-designed inground pool reads as a genuine lifestyle feature rather than an add-on.

The R & R Swimming Pools Difference in Haines Creek
At R & R Swimming Pools, we have been building concrete pools across Central Florida since 1985 — a family business, not a franchise, with more than 1,000 pools behind us.

What that means for your project:
- You talk to the family — the people who design your pool are the people responsible for building it.
- Honest guidance first — we explain what gunite does well and where it asks more of you, so you decide with clear information.
- Local knowledge — four decades of building on Lake County lots, including waterfront and sandy sites like those around Haines Creek.

Expert Gunite Craftsmanship
Gunite rewards experience. Our trained crew controls every contour, steel layer and interior finish detail by hand so the shell is sound underneath and clean to look at for years after the water goes in.
Family-Owned, Community-Driven
We treat your backyard the way we would treat our own. As a family-owned company serving Haines Creek and the surrounding Lake County communities since 1985, we know a pool is really about safe, easy gatherings and the memories that come out of them.
Completely Customizable — 100%
Pick every detail — shape, depth, steps, coping, waterline tile, interior finish and lighting package. Your concrete pool ends up unique to your home, your Haines Creek lot and the way you want to spend your weekends.
End-to-End Project Management
We run the whole build in-house: permitting, excavation, steel, gunite, plumbing, electrical, finish and final walkthrough. One team, one point of contact, one continuous process from signed plan to first swim.
What to Expect During Your Haines Creek Concrete Pool Build
Every project opens with a sit-down about how you picture using the backyard — morning laps, shaded lounging, a spot for the grandkids when they visit. We walk your Haines Creek property, note sun angles, lake breezes, screen enclosures and setbacks, then draft a one-of-a-kind pool layout shaped around that lot instead of a catalog template.
Engineering & Permits
After you sign off on the drawings, the paperwork becomes our job, not yours. We produce the engineered structural plans and carry them through Lake County review and any applicable local or community approvals, so your build is documented and code-compliant well before excavation equipment rolls onto the driveway.
Excavation & Steel Framework
Next the shell gets dug to the exact depths and contours on your plan, with access routes planned so your yard and driveway are protected. A hand-tied rebar cage is then built inside the excavation — that steel skeleton is what holds your pool’s shape and keeps the shell structurally sound for decades in Central Florida soil.
Our gunite crew sprays high-strength concrete over the steel, then carves and floats each curve, bench, sun shelf and step by hand until the shape matches the design exactly. The shell is kept watered and allowed to cure completely, which builds the density and strength the finish work depends on.
Finishes, Equipment & Start-Up
Tile, coping, interior finish and your deck surface go on, followed by pumps, filtration, heating and lighting plumbed and wired for easy service.
We fill the pool, balance the water chemistry, and then spend time showing you how the system runs so you feel comfortable with your new pool from day one.

Building a Concrete Pool in Haines Creek: What Homeowners Should Know
Haines Creek runs between Lake Eustis and Lake Griffin, and the homes along it sit on the sandy soils and limestone-based terrain common throughout Lake County. That ground is very buildable, but it rewards proper engineering rather than guesswork.
A gunite shell designed with sound structural and geotechnical input is built to perform on this kind of site, and our team coordinates that engineering along with county permitting before a shovel moves.
A few things worth thinking about on a Haines Creek property:
- Waterfront setbacks — lots that back to the creek or canal may have shoreline and setback rules that shape where the pool can sit.
- Access for equipment — long driveways and mature oaks affect how we stage excavation, and we plan the route before the build starts.
- Drainage and grade — deck elevation and runoff are designed so water moves away from the house and the shell.
- Screen enclosures — with the creek and surrounding wetlands nearby, many homeowners plan for a cage from day one, which changes the deck layout.
Because custom concrete pool building is done on site rather than delivered pre-formed, we can work with whatever your lot gives us. Homeowners in neighboring communities like Eustis and Lady Lake deal with similar conditions, and we build in all of them.
Concrete Pool Building FAQs for Haines Creek Homeowners
How long does a custom concrete pool take to build in Haines Creek?
Most concrete pool builds run roughly 3 to 5 months from permit submittal to final interior finish, depending on how complex the design is and how quickly Lake County permitting moves.
Our team keeps you posted at every phase, so you always know what is happening next in your yard.
Will a gunite pool hold up on Haines Creek soil conditions?
Yes. Haines Creek sits on the sandy, limestone-based terrain found across Lake County, and a properly engineered gunite shell is designed for exactly these conditions.
We coordinate the structural design and permitting so your pool is built on a foundation suited to your specific site.
Why choose a concrete pool for a Haines Creek backyard?
Concrete is formed on site with steel and gunite, which means unlimited shapes, depths and built-in features — infinity edges, sun shelves, attached spas and more.
Because the shell is custom, it adapts to irregular or sloping Haines Creek lots instead of requiring the yard to fit a fixed form. Your design consultant can walk you through the trade-offs honestly during your free consultation.
Do I need HOA or county approval before building a pool here?
It depends on your neighborhood. Some Haines Creek area communities have HOA or architectural review requirements on top of Lake County building permits.
We help you prepare plans that satisfy both, so approvals do not stall your project.
What kind of upkeep does a gunite pool require?
Plan on routine water chemistry and filtration care, plus periodic resurfacing of the interior finish roughly every 10 to 15 years.
We can set your pool up with equipment that simplifies day-to-day upkeep, including saltwater chlorination, and show you how it all runs at your final walkthrough.
Is financing available for a new concrete pool?
Yes. We work with Lyon Financial as our primary financing partner and Viking Capital as a secondary option.
Ask your design consultant about current options during your free consultation so you can plan the build around your budget.
