Custom Pool Construction
A pool that's unmistakably yours.
Design-build inground pools crafted for Tennessee homes — engineered to last, styled to stun, and tailored to how you actually live.
Design-Build Process
Vision, rendered in 3D. Built with obsessive detail.
Custom pool construction with Sherman Pools is a seamless, transparent process designed to bring your unique vision to life. It begins with an in-depth on-site consultation where we listen to your ideas, understand how you and your family will use the space, and explore materials, finishes, and layouts that fit your home and landscape.
Using advanced 3D rendering technology, we walk you through a photorealistic preview of your future backyard — complete with finish selections, tile, coping, decking, landscape lighting, spas, waterfalls, and tanning ledges — before a single shovel touches the ground. You approve every detail with full confidence.
Once the design is signed off, construction is led by our in-house team of skilled craftsmen. We coordinate every phase — excavation, steel, plumbing, gunite/shotcrete shell, electrical, tile and coping, and premium finishes — and communicate progress at each milestone. Every build follows local Tennessee codes and structural best practices.
As the pool nears completion, we add the final touches: custom lighting, water features, decking, and landscaping that ties everything together into a cohesive outdoor room. A full walkthrough, startup, and training ensures you know exactly how to enjoy your new pool — and we stay by your side long after the water is in.

FAQ
Custom pool questions, answered.
How much does a custom inground pool cost in Tennessee?
Most custom gunite pool projects in Middle Tennessee start in the mid five figures and scale up based on size, shape, finishes, decking, and outdoor living features. During your consultation we'll build a transparent, itemized proposal so there are no surprises.
How long does construction take?
A typical custom pool takes 8–14 weeks from groundbreaking to first swim, depending on scope, weather, and add-ons like pavilions or outdoor kitchens. We keep you updated at every milestone.
Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?
Yes. We handle all permitting, code compliance, engineering, and coordinate any HOA submittals on your behalf.
