Custom concrete construction

Pool construction,
built to last a lifetime

Every Ripple pool is engineered concrete and gunite — formed, steeled, and finished by a family crew that treats your backyard like their own.

Why concrete

A pool with no shape you can't build

Vinyl and fiberglass come in a catalog. Concrete comes in whatever you can dream up. Because we form and shoot each pool on-site, we can wrap the design around your yard — the slope, the view, the way you want to live outside — instead of forcing your yard to fit a mold.

Any shape or depth — freeform, geometric, infinity edge, tanning ledges, and beach entries.
Built for the long haul — steel-reinforced gunite stands up to Grand Strand summers year after year.
Finished your way — plaster, quartz, or pebble finishes and the tile and coping to match.
The full build

One crew for the entire backyard

We don't just drop a pool and leave. Ripple builds the complete outdoor space — the water, the structures around it, and the ground you'll walk on.

Custom concrete pools
Steel-reinforced gunite pools in any shape, size, and depth you can imagine.

Bubblers, deck jets, sheer descents, and spillover walls for movement and sound.
Paver decking & patios
Paver decks, patios, and walkways that frame the pool and handle heavy sun and foot traffic.
Cabanas & structures
Cabanas and shade structures that give the space somewhere to gather and cool off.
Retaining walls
Engineered retaining walls that make sloped and difficult lots fully buildable and usable.
The process

From bare yard to first swim

Pool construction is a big project. Here's the roadmap we walk every homeowner through so you always know what's next.

1
Design & engineering
We finalize the layout, features, and finishes, then handle permits and engineering.
2
Excavation & steel
We dig the shape, set the steel rebar cage, and rough in the plumbing.
3
Gunite & finishes
Shoot the gunite shell, then tile, coping, decking, and the interior finish.
4
Startup & walkthrough
Fill, balance, start the equipment, and teach you how to care for it.
Demo noteIf you offer financing, this is where a "financing available" note wins the shopper comparing a $60k+ build across builders. Tell us your financing partner and we'll add it.
The Ripple standard

Engineered concrete, built for the coast

Gunite is the strongest way to build a pool — a steel-reinforced concrete shell shot in place and cured hard, then finished by hand. Done right, it's the kind of pool your kids will still be swimming in decades from now, even through Grand Strand humidity, salt air, and storm season.

28-day
Proper gunite cure
We let the shell cure and hydrate the way it should — no rushing the one step that determines how long a pool lasts.
100%
Steel-reinforced shell
A full rebar cage under every pool, engineered and inspected before a drop of gunite is ever sprayed.
Lifetime
Structural shell warranty
The concrete shell is the bones of your pool — we stand behind it for the long haul.
Demo noteA lifetime structural-shell warranty is a near-universal promise among the Grand Strand's top concrete builders (The Pool Company, Clearwater, and others all lead with it) — homeowners now expect to see it. Confirm your exact warranty terms and we'll make this section factually yours; if the numbers differ, we'll swap them.
