Dream Backyard

A custom inground gunite pool in Sacramento typically starts at $55,555 for an 80-foot perimeter pool (approximately 400 sqft), which includes 500 sqft of concrete decking. Final cost depends on pool size, shape, features (spa, water features, lighting), and site conditions. Each additional foot of perimeter above 80ft adds approximately $750. Pool resurfacing and replastering projects start significantly lower.

We offer 0% APR financing through Wisetack (up to 24 months), plus larger loan options through Lyon Financial and HFS Financial. View our full pricing breakdown →

Most custom gunite pool projects in the Sacramento area take 8 to 12 weeks from groundbreaking to first swim, depending on pool size, complexity, weather, and permitting timelines. The permitting process in Sacramento County typically adds 2–4 weeks before construction begins. We keep you updated throughout every phase and provide a clear project timeline before breaking ground.

We hold California Contractor License #1109912 with three classifications: C-27 (Landscaping), C-35 (Lathing & Plastering), and C-53 (Swimming Pool). Most pool contractors hold just one license — our triple-licensing means we can oversee every phase of your project, giving you one contractor, one point of accountability, and consistent quality from excavation through final landscaping.

Gunite (shotcrete) pools offer unlimited custom shapes and sizes, which fiberglass shells cannot match — fiberglass pools come in pre-made molds with fixed dimensions. In Sacramento's hot, dry climate, gunite pools hold up exceptionally well and can be resurfaced every 10–15 years to look brand new. Gunite also adds more to your home's resale value because of the custom design and permanent construction. Phenomenal Pool & Landscape builds exclusively with gunite for maximum design flexibility and durability.

Yes — this is one of our biggest differentiators as a Sacramento pool builder. Our dedicated plaster crew handles every pool finish, from standard white plaster to premium pebble plaster and quartz plaster finishes. We hold a C-35 Lathing & Plastering license specifically for this work, which allows us to offer an industry-leading up to 7-year plaster warranty and maintain direct quality control on every pool surface we finish.

For most Sacramento homeowners, a pool is one of the best backyard investments you can make. Sacramento averages 269 sunny days per year with summer highs regularly above 100°F — meaning you'll use the pool 7-8 months out of the year. A well-built inground pool typically adds 5-8% to your home's resale value in the Sacramento market. Beyond property value, the quality of life improvement is significant — it becomes the center of family time, entertaining, and daily exercise. The key is working with a licensed contractor who builds it right the first time so maintenance costs stay low.

Our base pool package starts at $55,555 and includes an 80-foot perimeter gunite pool (approximately 400 sqft of pool surface — enough for a generously sized rectangle, kidney, or freeform shape) plus 500 sqft of concrete decking. That's a complete, swim-ready pool with professional-grade plumbing, equipment, and finish. Larger pools cost more — roughly $750 per additional foot of perimeter — and features like spas, water features, fire bowls, or custom tile work are added à la carte.
