Pool Builder in Gilmer, TX | Backyard Luxury Pool Designs

Custom gunite pool builder serving Gilmer, Texas

Gilmer and the surrounding Upshur County countryside are home turf for Backyard Luxury Pool Designs. Out here, lots tend to be larger — acreage, rural homesites, and lake-area properties — which opens the door to pools that would never fit a city yard. Because we build in gunite, we shape each pool to the land, whether that's a resort-style build on open acreage or a tucked-in pool and spa behind the house.

With 22+ years building across East Texas and a home base right here, Dustan Bell handles your entire project in-house — design, excavation, gunite, finish, decking, and equipment. You deal with the owner directly, start to finish.

Why Gilmer homeowners choose gunite

Rural Gilmer lots often mean well and septic systems, variable grades, and long access runs — exactly the conditions where custom gunite and hands-on project management matter most. We plan the build around your property instead of forcing a one-size shell into it.
