Every design, property, and project is different. Most custom pool projects can take roughly 12-16 months (Knife-Edge Construction can take longer) from design, permitting, excavation to completion, depending on scope and weather conditions.

The full process includes:

- Design

- Engineering

- Permitting

- Excavation and structural work

- Plumbing and electrical

- Shotcrete/Gunite application

- Tile, coping, and decking

- Interior finish and startup

Starting your project in Fall or Winter can help avoid peak-season delays.

We focus on thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and long-term value–not high-volume production.

Our approach includes:

- Personalized design consultations

- Site-sensitive engineering

- Clear communication throughout construction

- Attention to detail in materials and finish selections

Each project is custom. No templates. No shortcuts.

Sequoyah Pools specializes exclusively in custom gunite (concrete) pool construction.

Gunite pools are steel-reinforced and built on-site, allowing complete flexibility in shape, depth, elevation, and architectural detail. This method is particularly well-suited for the varied terrain and custom home environments found throughout Knoxville and East Tennessee.

While fiberglass and vinyl liner pools are manufactured in predetermined molds or use insert systems, we focus on fully engineered concrete construction because it allows for:

- True custom design

- Seamless integration with outdoor living spaces

- Greater adaptability for complex properties

- Long-term structural durability

Our goal is to build pools that function as permanant architectural features–not pre-formed installations.

Yes, we manage the necessary permitting and coordinate inspections to ensure compliance with local and county regulations in East Tennessee. This includes:

- Engineering documentation

- Site plans

- Setback requirements

- HOA coordination (when applicable)

Our goal is to make the process seamless.

Yes! We specialize in designing pools that maximize space while maintaining privacy and aesthetic balance.

For suburban properties in Knoxville, Farragut, Maryville, and Loudon County, we often incorporate:

- Strategic hardscaping zones

- Elevated planters and retaining walls

- Privacy landscaping for visual fencing and sound dampening

- Lighting to control focal points

- Multi-level patio designs

A well-designed pool can make a smaller yard feel expansive. Please check out our Galleries page to see some examples of this work.

Fall and Winter are ideal times to begin design and permitting processes. Many homeowners wait until Spring, which creates scheduling congestion.

Planning during the cooler months allows:

- Faster permitting timelines

- Better scheduling availability

- Possible completion before peak summer use

Visionary homeowners use winter to prepare for summer enjoyment.
