Choosing the Right Pool Type for Your Tontitown Property
The right pool type for a Tontitown home depends on your budget, lot conditions, and priorities. Here is a comparison of the three inground pool types we build:
Gunite / Shotcrete
Best for: Homeowners who want full custom design and maximum lifespan
What to know: Built to last 50+ years. Any shape or depth. Fully customizable to fit Tontitown’s larger residential lots. Highest upfront cost.
Fiberglass
Best for: Families who want low maintenance and a faster build
What to know: Pre-formed shell, fastest installation. Works well on Tontitown’s newer residential lots. Smooth interior resists algae.
Vinyl Liner
Best for: Homeowners who want an inground pool at the lowest cost
What to know: Most affordable inground option. The liner is replaceable. Flexible design. Good for Tontitown homeowners building on a budget.
Gunite and Shotcrete Pools in Tontitown
Gunite pools are built with a steel-reinforced frame and concrete applied under pressure in layers. Given Tontitown’s high median home values and the scale of newer residential development in the city, gunite is the pool type most suited to homeowners making a serious long-term investment. BC Pools offers gunite pool construction in Tontitown, a service no current local competitor provides.
Fiberglass Pools in Tontitown
Fiberglass pools arrive as a factory-formed shell and are installed faster than any other pool type. For Tontitown families on newer lots with standard soil who want to start swimming quickly with minimal ongoing maintenance, fiberglass is a practical choice. The gel-coat interior resists algae and does not require replastering.
Vinyl Liner Pools in Tontitown
Vinyl liner pools are the lowest-cost inground option in Tontitown. The liner provides a smooth swimming surface and can be replaced as it ages. For Tontitown homeowners building within a set budget, vinyl liner delivers a functional inground pool at the lowest entry price of any inground option.
How Much Does a Pool Cost in Tontitown, AR?
Pool construction cost in Tontitown depends on pool type, size, features, and the specific conditions of your property. There is no single price that applies to every project.
What Affects the Cost of a Pool in Tontitown?
Pool Type: Vinyl liner pools are the lowest-cost inground option. Fiberglass pools fall in the mid-range. Gunite pools require the largest upfront investment and deliver the most design flexibility and longest lifespan.
Pool Size and Features: A standard rectangular pool costs less than a custom freeform design with integrated water features, a spa, or a tanning ledge. Each feature adds to the scope and total cost.
Site Conditions: Washington County soil conditions, lot grading, and equipment access all affect excavation cost and labor time. We assess site conditions during the on-site consultation and include them in the estimate.
Permits and Inspections: Pool construction in Tontitown requires permits from the City of Tontitown and Washington County inspections at multiple stages. Permit fees are included in every estimate we provide.

What to Know Before Building a Pool in Farmington, AR
Building a pool in Tontitown involves permit requirements, school district zoning, and soil conditions specific to Washington County. Here is what homeowners should know:
Washington County Soil Conditions
Tontitown is in Washington County, where clay-heavy soils expand and contract with seasonal moisture. This affects how the pool shell is engineered, how backfill is compacted, and how the pool deck is designed to prevent settling and cracking over time. We account for soil conditions at the design stage.
Northwest Arkansas Climate
Tontitown’s humid subtropical climate brings hot summers and winters with regular freeze-thaw cycles. Pools that are not properly built or winterized can suffer structural stress and surface deterioration. We select materials rated for the NWA climate and advise every homeowner on proper seasonal preparation.
City of Tontitown and Washington County Permits
Pool construction in Tontitown requires building permits from the City of Tontitown and must pass Washington County inspections at multiple construction stages. Building without permits can result in fines and complications at resale. BC Pools manages the full permit process from application through final sign-off.
Springdale School District and Ozark Catholic Academy
Most of Tontitown is zoned to the Springdale School District. Ozark Catholic Academy, a private high school, is located within the city. Newer developments near these school zones continue to attract families. Many newer HOA communities in these areas have rules on pool fencing, equipment placement, and deck design. Review your HOA covenants before construction begins and contact us if you need assistance working with HOA documentation.
Property Values and Build Quality
With a median home value of $482,000, Tontitown homeowners are building in one of the higher-value residential markets in Washington County. A pool built to match that investment should use materials and construction methods that hold up over decades, not just meet minimum code requirements. We build to the standard the property demands.

How Your Tontitown Pool Project Works
Every pool project in Tontitown follows the same four-step process:

Consultation
We start with a free on-site visit at your Tontitown property. We walk the yard, assess soil conditions and available space, and ask specific questions about budget, intended use, and lot constraints before making any recommendations.

Design & Planning
We develop a design plan specific to your Tontitown property, accounting for lot dimensions, Washington County setback requirements, soil conditions, utility easements, and preferred pool type. You review and approve the full design before construction begins.

Construction
Once permits are approved by the City of Tontitown and Washington County, construction begins. We manage excavation, steel reinforcement, plumbing, shell installation, decking, tile, and finishing. You are updated at each phase and the project follows the timeline established during planning.

Completion & Satisfaction
When the pool is finished, we walk through the completed project with you. We cover equipment operation, basic maintenance, and warranty details. Anything that does not match what was agreed on gets addressed before we close the project.
Customer Reviews
What Our Clients Say
Posted on MONIKA PRAKTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this company if you’re looking for pool remodeling. They redid my pool tiles on a fairly large and difficult infinity edge pool. BC Pools and the team were careful, quick, efficient, good communicators, and willing to back up their work once the pool gets up and running this summer. Very impressed by this crew and the commitment they put into their work!Posted on Bill GreetanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BC pools did a great job from start to finish. Ruben was very helpful in designing the pool layout in the limited space we had available. Highly recommend!Posted on Ryan TruesdaleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great customer service and quality work! Definitely recommend letting them serve you.Posted on Donna FurnasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best experience with backyard customs pools! They were the best team to work with in all my experience of working with a company! We had a budget and they helped us keep to our budget. We had an existing pool that needed to be removed and a lot of trees and ground that needed to be leveled and removed. We were expecting that a company would come in and tell us what they could do, but this company kept telling us it’s your pool and you can have what you want. We got everything and more than we expected! I would definitely recommend working with this company! They took a nightmare from our backyard to a dream! Reben was very helpful and worked with us everyday to make sure we got everything we hoped for.Posted on laura jonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish , working with the team at Back Yard Customs has been seamless . They are incredibly professional and adept in every aspect of design and installation . I highly recommend this company !Posted on Keith WaltersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The initial construction was great. I requested bids from several companies and they were the lowest cost and also gave me the shortest estimate for completion timeline. Once they started on the build, they stayed with it until it was done and delivered what they promised ahead of schedule. The custom designed pool and hot tub combo are beautiful. A year and a half after the pool was complete, I had an equipment failure and wasn't able to get it replaced under warranty due to some miscommunication with the company. The owner later reached out personally to make everything right. Highly recommend.Posted on Pam HudsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience w BC Pool was excellent. They tore out the gunite and had the new gunite done in matter of days. They had a great crew that got in there and got it done.Posted on CwTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
