Engineered Pool Construction Near Bull Swamp Creek

30+ Years of Elite Pool Design and Master Installation

Building a pool in Gaston requires a contractor who truly understands the local geography. Properties situated near the banks of Bull Swamp Creek or on older agricultural land often feature sandy, loamy soil and higher water tables. If a pool isn’t built with these natural elements in mind, groundwater pressure can easily shift the foundation or cause a vinyl liner to float.

When you hire Juliano’s Pools for your inground pool installation in Gaston, SC, you get unparalleled site engineering. We are a 100% in-house company with zero subcontractors. Our dedicated excavation crews understand Lexington County dirt. We install deep gravel sub-bases, advanced hydrostatic relief valves, and reinforced wall bracing to manage groundwater safely. The result is a structurally flawless pool that stands the test of time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was looking for a good pool service who could replace my pool liner.   Juliano's had the highest rating I have seen across pool companies in the area.  After reading the reviews, I contacted Scott and he came out and looked at the pool (sports pool) and provided an estimate and next steps if I were to proceed. I wanted to do it after swimming season was over so I waited 3 months and called Scott stating that I'd like to proceed.

I can't say enough about the workers who came out and removed the old liner, patched, leveled, sanded and sealer the foundation then installed the new liner.   They were quick and efficient and always willing to answer my questions (and I had quite a few).

You can tell the quality of a company when things don't go so well and their response to issues.  I filled up my pool  after installation and noted a significant loss of water overnight.  Called Scott and the team came over the next day and found that the manufacturer had not sealed a seam correctly and there was a substantial hole that developed.   Scott immediately called the liner manufacturer and had them manufacture another one and send.   3 days later, the team was back out, removing the new liner they has just installed and installing the replacement liner.

I also had them work on my sand filter as I was having an issue of sand entering my pool.  They found the issue, fixed it and provided me some tips on how to ensure that didn't happen again.

I would recommend Julianos to anyone who has pool repair needs.

Thanks Scott and team!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I very rarely do reviews, however I feel compelled to write on my experience with Scott and his crew. I needed a new liner, and Scott came right out and showed me my options and took a ton of measurements of the pool. (You can see the liner fits perfectly, like a glove). The crew came out and started to take out the liner when they found a very large amount of Moss growing under the old liner. They quickly scrapped it out and sprayed to keep it from coming back. They then smoothed out all the surface with a concrete type of material, then installed the liner. All in just one day. It was quite an undertaking especially as it was very hot. I want to thank the guys that did the job that day. Excellent crew, and is much appreciated.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Juliano's and had Marissa on the phone, she had Chuck Hutton at my place 2 days later. He assured me that we get back to the pool I had.
Amazing work and knowledge. I was so happy with them. I can not even describe how happy I was with them. Always a open ear. I even texted Chuck outside of the work hours and he answered right back. I would always recommend them.
Thank you so much Juliano's. Glad I called you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When other pool companies wouldn't call us back or answer our emails to replace the liner in our pool, Juliano's did.  They should have been my first call!  Scott and his team did a fantastic job installing new drainage in our pool and replacing the liner.  One thing about Juliano’s is they not only know pools; they know dirt.  We had horrible drainage issues around our pool causing the liner to float when we had heavy rain.   Scott engineered a system to move water from underneath our pool and it has worked to perfection.  Not only did they do a great job, Scott tried to get us a discount on the liner from the manufacturer as our pool was only 4 years old. Juliano’s is the only pool company in the Columbia area I trust to get the job done right while looking out for your money.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WOW! I’ve never had a company respond so quickly, but also provide such expertise and service. From Marissa having me scheduled within 24 hours of calling to Chuck Hutto’s service. He listened, acknowledged and went above and beyond in replacing the motor capacitor. He went a step beyond to seal a couple of small leaks and share his overall pool knowledge. This is my new pool service company!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build an inground pool in Gaston?

Yes. Because Gaston is an incorporated town within Lexington County, residential pool construction requires structural, electrical, and zoning permits. Juliano’s Pools handles the entire application process and coordinates all necessary county inspections so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork.

Can you build a large-scale pool on an old family farm property?

Absolutely. We love working on expansive rural acreage in Gaston. Without the tight property line restrictions found in dense city subdivisions, we have the freedom to design and excavate massive, custom-shaped inground pools with extensive decking that perfectly fit the scale of your land.

What are the safety fence regulations for pools in Lexington County?

To comply with South Carolina and Lexington County residential building codes, your inground pool must be completely enclosed by a safety fence or barrier that is at least 48 inches (4 feet) high. The enclosure must also have self-closing and self-latching gates.

My property off Route 321 has an old pool with a cracked foundation. Can it be saved?

Most likely, yes. Our inground pool renovation team excels at rescuing older pools. We can drain the pool, strip out the old liner, repair and re-smooth the vermiculite base to fix any cracks, and install a brand-new, custom-measured liner to make it look brand new.

We live near Bull Swamp Creek. Will the high water table ruin my pool?

It won’t if the pool is engineered correctly! Properties near the creek often deal with excess groundwater. We install specialized French drainage systems and hydrostatic relief valves beneath the pool floor. These mechanisms safely release ground pressure, keeping your liner securely locked in place even during heavy storm run-off.

Why is it important that you don't use subcontractors out here?

Rural pool construction requires precise logistics and accountability. Subcontractors often juggle multiple jobs and can cause massive scheduling delays. By using our own dedicated, full-time employees for every phase—from heavy excavation to plumbing—we guarantee top-tier craftsmanship and a predictable project timeline.

Can we design a pool area that fits the forested, rustic feel of Gaston?

Yes! We specialize in custom aesthetics. We can incorporate natural stone coping, dark-toned vinyl liners that mimic a natural lagoon, and earth-toned stamped concrete to ensure your new pool blends seamlessly with Gaston’s beautiful, wooded environment.

How long does the swimming season last in this part of South Carolina?

Thanks to the warm, sunny climate, Gaston homeowners generally enjoy a pool season that runs from mid-April through October. If you want to swim earlier in the spring or later into the autumn, we can install an energy-efficient electric heat pump to keep the water comfortable.
