Memphis Custom Pool Builder
Since 2006
Gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl liner inground pools — designed by American Pool Techs and built by American Pool Techs. Fair, honest, and ethical business practices have allowed us to build more inground pools across the Mid-South than any other local contractor since our inception. Backed by over 50 years of combined experience, many references, and reviews and recent project photos that tell our story, American Pool Techs is setting the standard for new pool construction services in the Mid-South.
Three pool types. Three specialized crews that do the work.
Experience matters. The three different pools require a lot of the same — but can also differ in many ways. Our in-house construction managers and teams guarantee whichever style pool you choose, it’s done right. From the initial design and conception through final yard grade and clean-up, your project will be handled with the utmost care and attention to detail by our experienced construction teams. Here are the three inground pool options American Pool Techs provides.
Gunite Pools
The gold standard for custom inground pools. The most structurally sound and customizable pool we offer. Made of steel and high-strength concrete, gunite pools offer extreme durability and design flexibility. Any shape and any feature you can dream of. There are no limits with a custom gunite pool built by American Pool Techs. Down the road — typically 15-20 years out — even the best gunite shell benefits from a refresh, and we handle full gunite pool renovations when that day comes.
- Most structurally sound option
- Any shape, any size, any depth
- Tanning ledges, sun shelves, beach entries
- Sheer descents, deck jets, water walls
- Integrated spas and raised features
- Plaster, pebble, or quartz finishes
Fiberglass Pools
Pre-formed one-piece shells set into place upon completion of excavation. The fastest install in our lineup — most go from dig to swim in a few weeks. Smooth gel-coat surfaces with many color options. Once your fiberglass pool is in, we cover the long-term side too with in-house weekly pool maintenance.
- Install in weeks, not months
- Smooth surface — easy to clean
- Fixed shapes and sizes from manufacturer
- Built-in steps, ledges, and benches
- Lower lifetime chemical use
Vinyl Liner Pools
Steel or polymer wall panels backed with a custom vinyl liner. Lower entry cost than gunite and fiberglass, with more design flexibility than fiberglass. Average liner life expectancy is 8–10 years — a real factor in long-term planning. When the time comes for liner replacement or equipment upgrades, our pool equipment repair team handles it in-house.
- Custom shapes and sizes
- Soft, smooth liner surface
- Wide range of liner patterns
- Compatible with most water features
- Liner replacement every 8–10 years
See Your Pool in Your Backyard — Before We Ever Break Ground
Every American Pool Techs client gets a custom 3D design video of their pool rendered in their actual backyard. Walk around it. See the bridge, the fire pit, the sheer descents from every angle. We refine until you love it. Then — and only then — we dig.
Custom 3D rendering in your actual backyard
Not a stock template. We render your specific pool design into your specific backyard — house, fence, trees, slope, the works.
Walk around it from every angle
See your pool from the patio, from the back fence, from above — even from inside the house looking out. Every viewpoint, before construction.
Unlimited revisions until you love it
Want the spa moved? Different fire feature? Bigger sun shelf? We revise the 3D design as many times as it takes. We don’t break ground until you sign off.
The details that make your pool unique
The unique customized features of your choice are what will make your pool stand out to your family and your neighbors. Here are some of the customized options we provide that will make your pool the talk of the neighborhood. Most of our clients use pool financing to bring premium features into reach — monthly payments often come in lower than people expect.
Sheer Descents
Wide, glass-like waterfalls that drop into the pool from a raised wall.
Sun & Tanning Ledges
Shallow shelf for loungers and small kids — usually 7–10 inches deep.
Beach Entry
Gradual entry from the deck into the water — ease into the pool with no steps needed.
Integrated Spas
Raised spas veneered in natural stone or tile with spillway into the pool.
Deck Jets
Arcing streams of water from the surrounding deck into the pool.
Stone Waterfalls
Natural-stone falls cascading into the pool.
LED Lighting
Color-changing pool, spa, and feature lighting on automation.
Smartphone Automation
Control all features from your phone — Hayward, Jandy, and Pentair all supported.
Concrete, Travertine & Flagstone Decking
Versatile deck options to match any style or vibe you’re going for.
