Custom Pool Construction for Newberry, FL
Newberry is one of the fastest-growing communities just west of Gainesville, with new subdivisions going up steadily as families look for more space and newer construction within easy reach of Gainesville's jobs and schools. That growth means a lot of Newberry pool projects start with a relatively blank backyard — new sod, maybe a privacy fence, and not much else yet.
That's a straightforward starting point for a custom gunite pool. Pools & More, led by owner Mike Flanagan, builds every pool with a steel-reinforced rebar shell, a high-pressure shotcrete application, and a smooth plaster finish — built to your yard's actual dimensions on-site, rather than dropped in as a pre-fab fiberglass shell. That means we can plan around whatever else you're still adding to the backyard — patios, landscaping, an outdoor kitchen — instead of working around something already finished. Our 9-step process starts with permit approval and site planning, which for newer Newberry developments often means working within an HOA's architectural guidelines in addition to standard county permitting — both handled in that first phase.
Standard equipment includes pumps, filters, and automation controls, with options like a saltwater chlorination system, a built-in spa with a spillover edge and gas heater, a sun shelf, or a water feature wall available on several pricing tiers. Decking is concrete or pavers, and LED lighting comes standard.
Pricing is published upfront, not held back for a sales call: $53,000 to $70,000+ depending on pool size, deck material, and any added features, with every package including the shell, deck, permitting, an electrical allowance, and LED lighting. If a $53,000+ project makes more sense financed than paid in full, Lyons Financial and LightStream are available. Before construction starts, you'll see a 3D computer model of your actual yard — particularly useful if you're still finalizing other backyard plans and want to see how the pool fits with what's coming next.
