Custom gunite pools designed for Long Island living, built to last generations with unlimited design possibilities.
You’re not just getting a pool. You’re creating the backdrop for decades of family memories, summer barbecues, and quiet evening swims.
Gunite construction gives you something vinyl and fiberglass simply can’t match: complete design freedom. Want a beach entry that mimics the shoreline? No problem. Need specific depths for diving or water volleyball? Done. Thinking about integrated spas, swim-up bars, or custom lighting that turns your backyard into an evening paradise? That’s exactly what gunite pools do best.
The real payoff comes years later when you’re still enjoying crystal-clear water and solid construction while your neighbors are dealing with liner replacements or structural repairs. Gunite pools are built once, built right, and built to outlast everything else in your backyard.
JAS Aquatics has been building custom gunite pools throughout Nassau County for over a decade. We understand Long Island’s unique soil conditions, local permit requirements, and what it takes to create pools that perform beautifully year after year.
Every project starts with understanding how you actually want to use your space. Some families need shallow areas for young kids. Others want deep ends for serious swimming. Many want both, plus space for entertaining.
We handle everything from initial design through final inspection, working directly with local suppliers and staying on top of Melville’s building codes so you don’t have to worry about the details.
Your project starts with a detailed consultation right in your backyard. We’ll assess your space, discuss your vision, and explain what’s realistic within your timeline and budget. No pressure, no generic sales pitch—just honest conversation about what works.
Once you’re ready to move forward, the design phase begins. You’ll see detailed plans showing exactly how your pool will look and function. This includes all equipment placement, electrical requirements, and how the finished pool integrates with your existing landscaping.
Construction follows a proven sequence: excavation, steel reinforcement, plumbing and electrical rough-in, then the gunite application that forms your pool’s permanent structure. After curing, your pool gets finished with your choice of plaster, tile, or aggregate surfaces. Finally, equipment installation, water filling, and system startup. Most gunite pools in Melville take 8-12 weeks from start to finish, weather permitting.

Every gunite pool includes professional-grade filtration systems designed for our local water conditions. You’ll get energy-efficient pumps, automated chemical systems, and digital controls that let you manage everything from your phone.
Design options are practically unlimited. Infinity edges, beach entries, integrated spas, custom lighting, water features, and built-in seating areas all become possible when you’re not restricted by pre-formed shells. Many Melville clients add outdoor kitchens, fire features, or covered pavilions that work seamlessly with their pool design.
The construction process accounts for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and soil conditions. Proper drainage, reinforcement, and equipment protection ensure your investment performs reliably through decades of Northeast weather. All work meets or exceeds local building codes, and most features can be added during initial construction much more cost-effectively than retrofitting later.
