Custom in-ground pools offer superior durability, aesthetic appeal, and long-term value compared to above-ground options. They seamlessly integrate into your backyard, increase property value, and provide a premium experience you can enjoy for years. Unlike mass-produced above-ground kits, a custom in-ground pool is engineered to fit the unique topography of your Charlotte landscape, allowing for advanced features like tanning ledges, beach entries, and integrated waterfalls. This investment doesn’t just provide a place to swim; it transforms your entire property into a cohesive, high-end retreat that outlasts the limited lifespan of temporary structures.
Key differences:
Longevity: In-ground pools are permanent structures designed to last decades, whereas above-ground pools typically require liner replacements every few years and have a shorter overall lifespan.
Customization: Above-ground pools are limited to standard shapes and sizes. Custom in-ground pools can be designed in any shape or configuration to match your vision and functional needs.
Property Value: Appraisers generally consider in-ground pools a permanent home improvement that adds equity, while above-ground pools are often viewed as personal property with little to no impact on resale value.
Share your vision, ask questions, explore your backyard possibilities, and discuss your budget, all in one, no-pressure session.
After your consultation, you will receive a detailed estimate that outlines clear factors and a realistic build schedule. Our process typically takes three months, and we ensure you know exactly what to expect.
We handle all the permits, inspections, and special water and plumbing requirements, so your project runs smoothly and on schedule.
After planning and permits are complete, we start construction. Excavation begins, the pool takes shape, and decking, coping, and fencing are installed, with clear communication at every step.
Relax and enjoy your new custom in-ground pool designed for value and lasting memories.

One of the biggest factors for us was that MetroGreenscape handles the entire project from start to finish. They do a custom design, provide 3D images of the plan, handle all permits and requests for inspections, excavation, construction of the pool, landscaping and decking/tile, and even fill the pool with water and handle the first month of maintenance!
HEATHER GOWRIE
We can’t thank you enough for helping to create the backyard and pool of our dreams. We now have an outdoor space both back and front that is a joy to use and a delight each time we walk out the door – a complete transformation.
We highly recommend MetroGreenscape to anyone – 10 Stars.

MetroGreenscape was the perfect company to work with and made the process easy from beginning to end. Erik and his design team listened to our vision and made it better. Keith and the project team was very communicative and completed the job quickly. We love the outcome and glad we chose MetroGreenscape.
At MetroGreenscape, our experienced designers work with Charlotte residents to select an in-ground pool that matches their budget, aesthetic, and backyard space. This process begins with a one-on-one consultation. We take the time to understand your goals and budget, offering advice to make your dream a reality.
Pricing varies by size, materials, features, and site complexity. Accurate costing estimates for your pool build are best discussed during our on-site visit so we can account for grading, hardscaping, and custom features. Request a free consultation to discuss your ideas and receive a detailed quote.
Yes, we work with trusted pool financing partners to offer multiple payment options. We’ll review the options with you during the estimate so you can pick terms that fit your budget.
Our pool building timeline is 3 months from concept to completion. Weather and permitting can affect builds. We'll provide a projected timeline and update you regularly throughout construction.
Yes, we provide workmanship and equipment warranties, which we’ll review in writing. Warranties vary by component (structure, equipment, finishes) and are documented in your contract.
MetroGreenscape only builds concrete pools. Concrete (gunite/shotcrete) offers the most design flexibility and is ideal for bespoke shapes and premium features; fiberglass installs faster with lower maintenance but fewer custom shapes; vinyl is cost-effective but may need liner replacement down the road.
MetroGreenscape builds fully custom in-ground pools, from free-form natural pools and resort-style showpieces to lap pools, plunge/spa hybrids, and compact courtyard pools. We integrate hardscape and landscape so the pool becomes part of your outdoor living space.
Yes, MetroGreenscape manages permitting, coordinating with local building departments, and required inspections, so you don’t have to. We include permitting coordination in our project schedule and pricing.
Popular add-ons include infinity/vanishing edges, integrated spas with spillovers, water features and waterfalls, tanning ledges, swim-up bars, LED lighting, automation, and outdoor kitchens. We’ll show examples and estimates so you can prioritize the features that create the biggest lifestyle impact.
