We are a one stop shop that can do any landscaping, landscape lighting, fencing, bulkhead, masonry, and any other external construction needs that you may have.  These tasks will now be completed once the pool plaster is completed.  These finishing touches will beautify your yard and add an elegant touch to match your new pool.

The final step of the build process is the plaster, the finish coat on the inside of the pool.  Plastering can begin 28 days after the gunite is shot.  Whatever color you have chosen is hand troweled to a nice smooth finish. When the plaster is first applied it may seem like a different color […]

Now that the deck has been poured we are ready to respread the topsoil that we stripped and stockpiled at the beginning of the job. We then spread seed so you can grow grass just like before we started the project.  We will bring in and lay new sod to the freshly graded topsoil.

With so many different options to choose from for your pool deck, be sure to check out our gallery page to see some of the work we have completed from previous jobs. This is a great way to get a feel for what you are looking for. We pour 4” of concrete per your plan, […]

Prior to this step, you will have stopped by our showroom in Baton Rouge or worked with a Pinnacle staff member to choose your choice of many included tiles and copings. There is something for every taste. Once the Gunite shell has cured, tile and coping will be installed.

Pinnacle is a custom gunite pool builder in Baton Rouge.  Gunite cures to a higher psi than concrete and is a dry mix. Our pool walls are straight with a small bowl at the floor, this way you can swim up to the side of the pool and stand straight up with the arms on […]

Our entire pool is caged in ½” 8-gauge steel rebar. Many companies use 3/8” 6-gauge steel to save on costs; ½” to 3/8” does not sound like a lot, but when comparing side by side, the difference is astounding. There are also companies that claim to use ½” throughout their pool but only use it […]

Right after the pool is dug, all the plumbing is installed completely. We do not stub plumb any lines; all the plumbing is installed 100%. In doing this, we can charge the plumbing system with air from a compressor to ensure there are no leaks. This test gets performed many times throughout the build process […]

Now that the pool location has been approved by the customer we strip all the topsoil and stockpile the dirt to be returned at the end of the job at no extra cost. Many companies charge extra machine time and or require you to pay for additional topsoil. We dig our own pools we do […]

Once a pool shape is chosen, we flag out the pool in your yard so that you can picture what it will look like. If any adjustments need to be made, that can happen easily before digging the pool. During this time, we also set the elevation at which the pool will be built. Since […]
