Gunite Pools for Tight and Riverfront Garden City Lots
HDT Custom Pool Builders Boise builds gunite pools Garden City homes and businesses can fit into tight lots, riverfront yards, and everything in between. Each pool is sprayed on site over a steel frame, so you are not stuck with a stock shape. We are family-owned and have built gunite pools with our own crew since 2014. No subcontractors.
Thinking about a pool for next summer? Start early so there is time to plan, permit, and build. Garden City is right next to our Boise shop, and our phone line is open 24/7 at (208) 362-0458.
Why Sprayed Concrete Works Well in Garden City
- Odd-shaped and narrow lots. Garden City has plenty of small or long, skinny yards. Gunite can follow the shape of the space.
- Riverfront homes. Homes near the Boise River often want a pool that fits a view or a sloped yard. Gunite can be shaped for both.
- Busy summer use. Garden City summers get hot, and pools see a lot of use. A gunite shell is solid concrete and can be resurfaced later.
- Freeze and thaw. Cold winters can crack weak edges. We plan coping and decks to handle the weather.

What Frustrates Garden City Owners About Pool Builders
Some builders only sell set-size pools that do not fit Garden City lots. Some send different outside crews each week. Others book too many jobs and stop returning calls.
HDT is family-owned, and our own crew builds every pool. We only take on a handful of projects each year, so you get clear updates and a job that stays on time.
Gunite Pool Builds Near the Boise River Greenbelt
We build gunite pools near the Boise River Greenbelt, in the Plantation area, off Chinden Boulevard and Glenwood Street, along Adams Street, and near Expo Idaho. Garden City sits inside Boise in Ada County. We also build gunite pools in Boise, Eagle, Meridian, and Star.
Is Gunite Better Than Fiberglass or Vinyl in Garden City?
Fiberglass pools come in set shapes and sizes. Vinyl liner pools use a liner that wears out over time. A gunite pool is solid concrete built right in your yard, so it can have the exact shape you want and can be resurfaced instead of replaced.
