Overland Park Pools FAQ

How much does a swimming pool cost in Kansas City?

Gunite pools start at $70,000 and can be up to $750,000 for extensive waterslides, grottos, infinity edges, etc. In Kansas City, the average gunite pool is about $175,000. Stainless steel pools start at $90,000 and can also be up over $750,000. The average stainless steel pool in Kansas City is around $300,000. When budgeting, be sure to consider if additional patio space or landscaping will be needed. Also always consider the maintenance budget after you install a pool.

What’s a gunite pool?

A gunite pools is a custom pool constructed with a concrete-like material called gunite as the shell. The gunite shell is then covered with a plaster. Plaster options range from various color selections to additional pebble finishes for high-end luxury swimming pool looks. Gunite pools are totally customized to each unique property.

What are the pros and cons of gunite pools?

Gunite pools are totally customizable, so you can have any feature you can dream up. They’re also perceived as a luxury item if you ever needed to resell. Gunite is not cheap, but it is incredibly lasting. Unfortunately, gunite takes a long time to build properly and a gunite pool requires regular maintenance.

What are the pros and cons of stainless steel pools?

Stainless steel pools are the longest lasting, lowest maintenance pool option available of any pool construction method. You’ll never have to replaster, re-vinyl, or fix peeling fiberglass. Stainless also tolerates our expansive Kansas City clay soils the best. The only chemical needed in a stainless steel pool or spa is a special hydrogen peroxide. No chloride or bromine! Unfortunately, stainless steel pools are the highest investment of any pool option at up to 40% more than conventional gunite pools.

How is High Prairie different from other pool companies?

High Prairie has our own pool builders, hardscape crews, landscape crews, and designers on staff for a comprehensive outdoor living experience from design, to construction, to maintenance. We have two Genisis certified pool builders and are licensed general contractors to manage your entire project, including pool houses and structures. While 98% of our construction is done by High Prairie employees, we manage trade partners for services such as engineering, plumbing, and electrical work.

How does High Prairie build pools differently from conventional industry practices?

Legacy Method Pools by High Prairie are crafted to withstand Kansas City’s clay soils and polarizing weather. This means our gunite vessels have 30% more steel and 50% more foundation stability compared to the average pool company. In addition, we include various upgrades in our base price so that you’re not surprised later with a mountain of upcharges. To us, there are only two reasons a client should have an upcharge: 1. The client made a scope or design change 2. There was an unforeseen issue or engineering specification that needed to take place to ensure longevity. Otherwise, our proposals include the drainage, haul-off, coping, and many other details many companies leave out.
