Custom Inground Pool Builder in Meridian, Idaho

Maverick Pools is a custom inground pool builder in Meridian serving neighborhoods across the city, from newer subdivisions in the north and west to established family neighborhoods closer to downtown. Wherever your lot sits, we design and build pools that fit the specific character of your property and the way your family wants to use the yard.

Design consultations are free, and we design every pool in 3D before a single engineering dollar is spent. You see a realistic rendering of the finished pool in your actual backyard before the project moves to permitting. From there, we manage design, engineering, permits, and construction through final handover, all with one point of contact. We prepare and submit the permit package, coordinate the stamped engineering, and schedule inspections, so you are not carrying the coordination on your own.

Whether you are building a new pool, doing a pool remodel in Meridian, or transforming the full backyard, we handle the project as one coordinated scope. Learn more about what a gunite pool is, see how we approach the build on our process page, or compare construction methods in our gunite vs. fiberglass comparison.

Every residential pool in Meridian requires an approved barrier before it can be used. The fence, gates, and any house wall that forms part of the barrier must meet the City's residential pool barrier requirements. Those elements are inspected as part of the permit process. Fencing around the pool also requires its own City of Meridian permit.

We plan the barrier into the design from the start, so the layout, gate placement, and equipment access all work together with the code requirements rather than being figured out after the shell is in the ground.

Meridian lots cover a wide range of site conditions. Newer builds in the north and west typically have defined backyards, recorded easements, and utility locations to plan around, with fresh utility lines that require locating before excavation. Established neighborhoods may have mature trees, existing hardscape, or older irrigation infrastructure that factors into the site walk.

We evaluate access for excavation equipment, soil, drainage, and grade on every site visit before the design is finalized. We plan soil haul-off as part of the project scope. The licensed Idaho engineer designs the pool shell to the specific conditions of your lot, which means the rebar layout, shell thickness, and drain design are based on what is actually under your backyard. Gunite can be shaped to fit a tight or irregular yard while staying outside the recorded easements.

Every pool project is different, and cost is driven by the specifics of the lot and the design. The main factors that move the number:

• - Pool size and shape
• - Depth profile
• - Attached spa and spillover design
• - Sun shelf size and placement
• - Water features: sheer descents, deck jets, scuppers, bubblers
• - Interior finish: plaster, quartz aggregate, or pebble
• - Tile and coping selections
• - Decking material and square footage
• - Equipment package, automation, and heating
• - Site access for excavation
• - Soil conditions and any additional structural requirements
• - Barrier and fencing
• - Outdoor kitchen, fire feature, pergola, or other backyard additions

The right way to get an accurate number for your specific yard is through a free design consultation. See our full breakdown of what a custom pool costs in the Treasure Valley for a detailed look at what drives cost, and our guide on whether a sun shelf is right for your pool.

Financing is available through Lyons Financial, subject to lender approval. See our financing page for details.

A pool project is an opportunity to redesign the full backyard, not just add a swimming area. Maverick handles patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and complete backyard transformations designed together with the pool. When the full scope is coordinated by one team with one point of contact, the project comes together more efficiently and the result is more cohesive than when separate contractors work the same site.
