Our home base
Custom Gunite Pool Builder in White Oak, TX
White Oak sits on US-80 in Gregg County, between Longview and Gladewater, and our home office is right here on the highway. If you live on one of the wooded lots in the Piney Woods of East Texas, you already know what a backyard in this town has to handle. Clay soil moves with the seasons, so we plan every pool as a steel-reinforced gunite structure and study the site first. Heavy spring rain brings mud and runoff, which makes drainage part of the design from day one. Many White Oak homes are brick ranches from the 1970s to 2000s, and the large lots around them leave room for a full backyard plan. Newer custom homes on acreage can carry a spa, water features and an outdoor kitchen too. Heath Wharton designs every pool and personally oversees every build. Book a free design consultation online, or call us and talk it through with a neighbor.

Local conditions
What White Oak homes are up against
Expansive clay soils
Clay soils in this part of East Texas swell when they get wet and shrink when they dry. That movement is why we plan a White Oak pool as a steel-reinforced gunite structure and spend real time on the site before anyone digs.
Gunite Pool Construction in White OakHeavy spring rain
Heavy spring rain puts water, mud and runoff into White Oak backyards. We account for it by planning drainage alongside the pool, so the build site stays workable and the finished yard sheds water away from the deck and the house.
Custom Pool Design in White OakHigh humidity and long hot summers
Summers in White Oak run long, hot and humid, and that pushes families outdoors while it wears on finishes. We answer with shade, comfortable places to gather and finishes chosen to hold up, so the backyard stays useful all season.
Patio Covers in White OakSevere thunderstorms and hail
Severe thunderstorms and hail can damage outdoor structures and equipment around a White Oak pool. We plan patio covers, kitchens and automation equipment with that in mind, choosing materials and layouts meant to last through storm season, so the backyard keeps working long after the weather passes.
Patio Covers in White OakPine needle and leaf debris
Wooded lots in the Piney Woods drop pine needles and leaves into the water all year. For a White Oak pool, Pentair automation handles cleaning on a schedule, which keeps the water clear and the pool ready whenever you want it.

Brick ranch homes from the 1970s to 2000s on large wooded lots
Large lots behind these White Oak brick ranches leave room for a full backyard plan. We choose natural stone coping, pavers and brick to complement the house, and a patio cover can tie the pool to the home.
Newer custom homes on acreage
Acreage around White Oak supports a fully custom layout. We can pair the pool with a spa, water features and an outdoor kitchen, all built to match the style and materials of the home.
