Custom Pool Designs & Builds

Pools We Build

Every pool is gunite, engineered for Florida's high water table, and shaped to the lot it lives on. Six directions we build most.

Modern Geometric

Clean lines, glass tile, architectural symmetry.

Freeform & Lagoon

Curved shorelines, rock work, tropical planting pockets.

Pool + Spa Combos

Raised or flush spas with spillovers, heated year-round.

Infinity & Vanishing Edge

Edges that disappear into waterfront and golf views.

Courtyard & Small Yard

Plunge pools and courtyards for tight setbacks.

Resort Style

Sun shelves, fire bowls, waterfalls, the full amenity set.

Features

Built In From Day One

Features cost less designed in than added later. Everything below is specified in your proposal, not upsold at the hole.

Water & Fire

Attached spas
Sun shelves
Waterfalls
Deck jets
Fire bowls
LED lighting scenes

Equipment

Stacked stone water wall with a sheer descent and fire bowls beside a pool and raised spa

Our process

See It Before We Dig

A clear, simple process from concept to a fixed proposal.

On-site consultation

Yard, elevations, setbacks, wish list. We measure everything that will shape the design.

Design and 3D rendering

Walk around your pool on screen. Change the finish, move the spa, see it at dusk.

Fixed proposal

Line-item scope, allowances, schedule. The number you sign is the number we build to.

After the build

Most Builders Hand You the Keys and Leave. We Stay.

CoastLife is the only builder on the Treasure Coast that also runs weekly service routes and performs certified inspections. The price of your pool is the start of a relationship, not the end of a transaction. See service plans →

Custom Pool Questions, Answered

How much does a custom pool cost in Stuart?

Custom gunite pools start from $60K for a pool and deck, from $80K with a spa and upgrades, and $200K and up for resort builds. Size, finish and water features move the number most, followed by site access and the water table. Read the Martin County cost guide →

How long does it take to build a pool?

Most builds run 5 to 6 months from contract to swimming, depending on weather, pool type and how much outdoor living is in the plan. Your proposal includes the schedule before you sign. See the full timeline →

Do I need a permit to build a pool in Martin County?

Yes. Every in-ground pool in Florida requires a permit and barrier-code compliance. We pull the permit and manage every county inspection as part of the build. Read the permit guide →

Can you build a pool in a small yard?

Yes. Courtyard and plunge pools fit lots that conventional builders walk away from. Setbacks matter more than square footage, and we design to them from the first site visit. See courtyard builds →

Should I choose salt or chlorine?

Most of our new builds ship with salt systems. Softer water, lower weekly chemical cost, and the cell pays for itself over time. Read Salt vs Chlorine →

Do you build the spa and outdoor kitchen at the same time?

Yes, and it costs less that way. One mobilization, one permit set, one crew. Pools, spas, kitchens and pergolas are designed together from the start. Explore outdoor living →

What warranty comes with a new pool?

The gunite structure carries a lifetime warranty and our workmanship is covered for one year. As a Jandy and AquaCal warranty dealer we register your equipment at startup and handle claims in house, so you call us, not the manufacturer. Full terms appear in your proposal. Licenses and certifications →

Do you offer financing?

Yes, through our partner Lyon Financial. Approval does not slow the build schedule. See financing options →

Will you service the pool after the build?

Yes. We are the only builder in this market with weekly service routes. First-year support is built into the handoff. Compare service plans →

Can I see the design before committing?

Yes. Every project gets a 3D rendering you can walk around on screen, and we revise it with you until it is right. Construction starts only after you approve the design and the fixed proposal. Start a design consultation →
