Concrete Pools in the Okanagan

Poured and gunite concrete pools are the only way to build a truly custom pool — any shape, any depth, any size, engineered to fit your property instead of the other way around.

Complete pool and pool-deck projects generally range from $110,000 to $300,000+, depending on the pool type, site access, excavation, deck material, utilities, fencing and surrounding landscaping.

What Makes This Different

Built to Your Property, Not a Mold

Fiberglass pools come from a factory in a fixed shape and size. Concrete pools are formed and poured on your site, which means the shape, depth, steps, sun shelves, and swim-outs are all decided by your yard and your family — not by what fits on a delivery truck. If your lot is narrow, sloped, waterfront, or an irregular shape, concrete is usually the only option that lets us use the full space well. It’s also the choice for anyone who wants a pool deeper than a standard fiberglass shell allows, a vanishing edge, a sun shelf with bubblers, or a shape that follows the natural line of a retaining wall or patio rather than a preset curve.

The tradeoff is time: a concrete pool build takes considerably longer than a fiberglass installation because of excavation, steel, forming, the gunite or shotcrete pour, curing, tile and coping, and interior finish coats, each with its own cure and inspection window. We walk every client through the realistic timeline before excavation starts, so there are no surprises partway through a build season.

How We Build It

Concrete Pools: Materials & Process

We excavate to your engineered shape, set steel reinforcement, and apply gunite or shotcrete to form the shell. Once the structure has cured, the pool is finished with your choice of interior — plaster, pebble, or quartz aggregate — and the surrounding hardscape is built to match: stone or paver coping, a poured or paver deck, and integrated features like tanning ledges, spillways, or raised bond beams where the design calls for them. Because the shell is site-built, we can tie the pool directly into a broader hardscape plan — a patio, an outdoor kitchen, or a retaining wall system — so the pool reads as one continuous space rather than a feature dropped into the yard afterward.

Every concrete pool we build is engineered for our climate: proper freeze-thaw detailing, correct steel coverage, and a finish schedule that accounts for Okanagan winters. We handle the structural engineering, permitting coordination, and inspection scheduling as part of the build, so you’re working with one team from excavation through to the first swim.

What Clients Say

Trusted By Okanagan Homeowners

★★★★★
4.6 / 5 Based on 58 Google reviews · Design-and-build projects across the Okanagan Valley
“Kalagan did an outstanding job on our major landscaping project that included two sets of stone steps, a large water feature, paving stone patio, several plant beds, irrigation system and lighting effects. Taylor brought a wealth of knowledge and ideas to the design process and was easy to work with. Communication was strong throughout the project and we heartily recommend Kalagan for your landscaping project.”
“Kalagan Outdoor Design completely gutted our backyard, then installed irrigation, new lawn, trees, shrubs, rock bordered planting areas and a new stone patio. We are absolutely delighted with the result. It far exceeded our expectations which were quite ambitious from the start. The entire team was a pleasure to work with — professional, courteous, creative and hard working.”
FAQ

Common Questions About Concrete Pools

When is a concrete pool the only real option?

If your lot is narrow, sloped, waterfront, or an irregular shape, concrete is usually the only option that lets us use the full space well, since it is formed and poured on your site rather than arriving in a fixed factory shape.

Can a concrete pool be deeper than a fiberglass pool?

Yes — concrete is the choice for anyone who wants a pool deeper than a standard fiberglass shell allows.

How long does a concrete pool build take compared to fiberglass?

Concrete takes longer since it is formed, poured, and cured on site rather than arriving pre-built — we will give you a realistic timeline once your design is scoped.

Can concrete pools include custom features like sun shelves and built-in steps?

Yes — since the shape is fully custom, sun shelves, tanning ledges, and built-in steps can be designed exactly where you want them.
