Custom gunite pool finished in midnight blue Pebble Tec with glass bead accents, set against a Versailles-pattern natural stone deck and retaining wall — every slab custom-cut and hand-chipped on site. Lake views frame the backdrop.

Contemporary Contrast — Limestone & Obsidian

A super-modern build designed from the ground up to wrap around the home and maximize every inch of the backyard. Bold high-contrast palette: crisp white limestone deck and coping paired with a black 1×1 mosaic waterline tile, set into lush astro-turf with floating stepping pads. Our first-ever modern build — and a true backyard paradise.

Hilltop Estate Pool & Travertine Deck

Hilltop estate build featuring a custom Pebble Tec pool with custom water bowls, surrounded by ivory travertine we supplied and installed throughout the lower deck and upstairs patio.

Versailles Plunge — Custom-Fit Pool & Versailles Pattern Travertine

A super-modern pool designed straight from scratch to custom-fit around the home and maximize every square foot of yard space. We sourced and installed the entire project including the Versailles pattern ivory travertine deck. The before photo shows where we started — bare dirt — and the rest is what we delivered.

Backyard Oasis — Custom Pool, Fire Pit & Staircase

Designed entirely in-house from Banana Hammocks and built to fit the exact survey of the backyard. What started as a free-form plan became a full custom build when the homeowners handed over creative freedom. Multiple finishes pulled together — custom stamped concrete, split-face travertine, and Versailles pattern travertine — flow seamlessly into one. We poured the concrete staircase down from the driveway, designed and built the custom fire pit, and installed the pool. AstroTurf installed by others completes the look.

Modern Secluded Retreat

Clean modern lines with a light-to-dark contrast throughout. Extra-wide steps lead into the pool with stain-resistant white coping — a big plus around all that organic debris. A secluded backyard retreat that flows together as one.

Grecian Paradise

A gray pool framed by a patterned waterline tile, with a raised spa finished in matching pattern tile and travertine. We built a split-face travertine retaining wall around the pool and set custom water bowls along the top edge — a quiet, continuous spill back into the pool. Stone and pattern pulled together for true armonía — Greek for harmony.

Countryside Hideaway

Natural tones in a countryside setting. A clean rectangular pool sits low in the landscape, anchored by a custom dive rock and finished with that perfect shade of blue in the deep end. Stone and surround pull together to let the country backdrop do the talking — the whole space feels like it has always been there.

Rural Retreat

Walnut travertine coping and deck with a stacked-stone raised wall built to match the existing home. We pulled the same stone and profile from the house exterior so the pool reads as one continuous project — not an addition. The home was already complete when we arrived, but you'd never know it.

Midnight Revival

Midnight Revival

Old-school 6-inch coping ripped off, old finish completely removed back to bare gunite, and brought back to life with Midnight Blue Pebble Tec — sea shells and glass beads layered in for that deep, glittering finish you can't fake.

Renewed Lagoon

The original raised wall had a thin 1-inch stone over a 3-inch mortar bed — and after years of water damage, the tile was falling off in sheets. We stripped it all down, replaced it with a solid 4-inch hand-chipped stone for a natural edge, and refinished the pool in a medium blue Pebble Tec with glass beads. This one's built to hold.

Greystone Refresh

This one came to us with old concrete, old brick, and a tired white finish that had seen better days. We hammered out all the old stuff, set thick hand-chipped rock back on the raised features, and covered the deck in custom irregular blue stone for a natural, organic look. A complete refresh — bones intact, everything else built to last.

Mountain Home — Retro to Refined

Mountain Home, Arkansas — This pool and spa had seen better days. The spa was failing, and two skimmers were broken and leaking. We hammered out the old coping and finish, replaced both skimmers, tore into the spa and brought it back to life, fully replaced the equipment, and finished everything in French Gray. A full transformation from retro to refined.

Opulent Oyster

This pool came to us tired — a faded white interior, dated step-marker tile, and a shell carrying the scars of original construction shortcuts. The top row of mosaic tile was being pushed off the side because the builder had set wood forms directly on top of the shell before pouring the cantilever coping. Every time those forms soaked up water, they swelled and kicked the tile loose — a slow-motion failure baked in from day one. In this business, you're only as good as the hands putting it together — and the eyes checking in on them. We don't take that lightly. We stripped the old tile, cut out the compromised strip beneath, and wrapped the perimeter in a beautiful new mosaic band. The failing quartz interior was replaced with Pebble Tec in Oyster White. We left the step-marker tile off the shallow end for a cleaner, more sophisticated look. The lights had all failed because the junction box was installed below water-level grade — a code issue we corrected by rerouting everything properly. All equipment was replaced and brought up to modern standard, with full smart automation now controlled from the homeowner's phone. The deck was resurfaced to finish the picture. Quietly opulent, top to bottom.

Dated to Delightful

Old, white, and ready for a new chapter — this pool just needed someone to care. The skimmers were leaking, the autofill was failing, and the original white finish had long given up. We hammered it out, replaced the skimmers, rebuilt the autofill, and stripped the old tile down to bare shell. New glass mosaic tile went in with blue epoxy grout so the grout plays right into the background instead of fighting it. The interior was finished in a rich medium blue, and the deck was resurfaced to tie it all together.

The Grand Restoration

The Grand Restoration

A full-scale restoration of a once-faded estate pool. The original finish had been painted over, so we hammered everything down to bare shell to remove every trace of paint. With only one entry into the pool to start, we worked up a new design plan and brought in a gunite crew to add steps, benches, and stairs throughout — then strengthened the shell to carry all the new weight. Seven failing skimmers were replaced. A failing autofill was rebuilt. Every line was pressure-tested, the tile was redone, and all the equipment was swapped out and brought up to modern standard. A complete transformation of a serious pool, finished in a way that lets it disappear into the property like it was always meant to be there.

Lakeside Reset

Lakeside Reset

This one had a leak nobody could pin down — until we discovered the flagstone sun deck was never properly waterproofed beneath it. We hammered out every piece of old flagstone, waterproofed the deck, and laid new Arkansas Brown flagstone in its place. To accommodate the raised deck, we pulled the old coping off, raised it, and waterproofed underneath. At the homeowner's request, we added a double row of tile and tiled the faces of all the steps. Everything in this pool was off — the bottom, the stairs, none of it was even or flowing right. We leveled the stairs, evened out the floor, and brought it all back into line. The spa bench had to be completely rebuilt. The spa itself wasn't working, so we redid all of the plumbing to bring it back. The main drain wasn't compliant, so we brought it up to code. Both skimmers were leaking. Three laminars — light and water fountains — had failed, so we hammered them out and rebuilt them. A failing autofill was replaced. All pool equipment was swapped out, and everything now runs on phone automation. We finished it with a polished pebble interior — a full transformation from the deck down.
