Custom Gunite Pools

We specialize in custom gunite pools tailored to your backyard's unique dimensions and your family's lifestyle needs. Our expert team combines artistic design with structural integrity to create freeform or geometric pools that maximize visual appeal and functionality. With options for tanning ledges, in-water seating, and integrated water features, each installation uses durable gunite construction and premium finishes like Pebble Tec for lasting beauty and performance.

Pool Renovations

Upgrade aging pools with our comprehensive renovation services that modernize aesthetics and improve efficiency. We replace outdated plaster with Pebble Tec finishes, install energy-saving pumps and heaters, and add contemporary features like LED lighting and automated control systems. Our team also enhances safety and usability through beach entries, new decking materials, and structural repairs that restore both form and function to your existing pool.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Transform your yard into a complete entertainment hub with coordinated outdoor living elements. Our offerings include custom pergolas for shaded seating areas, fire pits for evening gatherings, and fully equipped outdoor kitchens with granite countertops. We integrate lighting systems, irrigation upgrades, and landscape architecture to create cohesive spaces that complement your new or existing pool while extending usable square footage for year-round enjoyment.

Pebble Tec Finishes

As a certified Pebble Tec Elite Builder, we apply industry-leading aggregate finishes that combine natural beauty with exceptional durability. Our installation process embeds small, smooth pebbles in pool surfaces to create non-abrasive, stain-resistant interiors available in multiple textures and color palettes. These finishes resist algae growth, maintain water clarity, and provide a luxurious aesthetic that enhances property value while requiring less frequent resurfacing compared to traditional plaster.

Pool Automation Systems

Enhance convenience and efficiency with Hayward Omni-Logic automation systems that control pool functions from your smartphone. Our installations integrate pumps, heaters, lighting, and cleaning systems into a single interface, allowing remote monitoring of water temperature, chemical levels, and equipment status. These smart systems optimize energy consumption, reduce maintenance demands, and provide real-time alerts to ensure optimal pool performance at all times.

We had a gunite pool and spa built in the Summer of 2020. Todd was incredibly responsive throughout the build. He even responded to our texts when he was out to dinner at Christopher's and on vacation. While it look a while for our pool to be completed because of COVID, the final product is just beautiful and is exactly what we wanted. Unfortunately, our variable speed Hayward pump broke down in January 2021. While it was under warranty, we haven't been able to get it repaired because the part just isn't available due to a nationwide manufacturing shortage. When he found out about the delay though

Paradise Oasis Pools did a fantastic job with our pool! From design, to flexibility in late changes to the design, to always being responsive everything was top notch! I never felt like I was being upsold, in fact I had to nudge a few times to persuade them to let me spend more money. The best part was the COMPLETE package. POP not only did the pool construction, they also fixed the irrigation, laid new sod, and thoroughly cleaned after the job! Turn Key service!

We do not recommend this company. The service after the sale and warranty was non existent. We have to spend a fortune to fix major problems ourselves, like tiles falling off after a year. The design has major flaws and the fire pit never worked properly.

Looks like if you only want a spa, its not worthy of their time. Looking for another place to do business, Im sure if you want a pool they may be ok I dont know as all we wanted was a spa and getting a response from this place was near impossible. We went in to talk to them were told go online figure out what you want then call and place the order. Did that the person on the phone couldnt do it and said we would revive a call back. That was two weeks ago. Tried calling back several time only to be told we will call you tomorrow when they are in the office. I was told to get everything

My Wife and I recently had our Forever Home and Pool built by Todd Homes and Paradise Oasis Pools. Both Companies owned by Todd Carnes. We could not have asked for or received BETTER Service from Todd and his Staff. Their service was Fantastic and the Quality of our House and our Pool is Outstanding! If you are looking for a Quality Custom Home for you and your Family, you will be Making A Big Mistake by not contacting Todd Homes and Paradise Oasis Pools. Patty and I want to Thank You Todd for such a Wonderful Experience.
