I hired Hilltop to reconstruct the planters in front of my house. The landscaping team was very professional and planted a variety of different plants and bushes that highlighted and brought bright colors to the front of the house. I highly recommend Hilltop for their outstanding landscaping services.
This was our first landscape project with Hilltop and they exceeded our expectations. Glenn was very knowledgeable and helped make our vision a reality. We loved how it came out and are already looking forward to the next project. Highly recommend Hilltop!
Fantastic experience with Glenn the owner and his team. They installed a 2 foot berm and a large privacy hedge plus removed an overgrown juniper and planted a Japanese Maple all in 8 hours. Looks amazing. Glenn makes excellent recommendations.
Most custom gunite pool projects take several weeks to a few months depending on the complexity of the design, site conditions, permitting requirements, weather, and additional features. Projects that include patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, or extensive landscaping may require additional time. During your consultation, we provide a realistic timeline so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Gunite pools offer unmatched flexibility compared to many other pool types. Because the structure is built on-site, homeowners can customize shape, size, depth, finishes, and special features. This level of personalization makes gunite pools ideal for unique properties and custom outdoor living environments. Many homeowners choose gunite because of its durability, design freedom, and long-term performance.
Several factors influence project pricing, including pool size, depth, site accessibility, excavation requirements, finishes, water features, lighting, automation systems, and surrounding hardscaping. Sloped properties and drainage requirements may also impact construction complexity. We provide detailed project estimates so homeowners understand every aspect of the investment before construction begins.
One of the most common questions we hear involves fiberglass vs gunite pools. Fiberglass pools are manufactured in predetermined shapes and sizes, while gunite pools are built entirely on-site and offer virtually unlimited customization options. Homeowners seeking unique designs, integrated spas, waterfalls, and fully customized layouts often prefer gunite because of its flexibility and long-term design possibilities.

Like any swimming pool, regular maintenance is necessary to maintain water quality and system performance. However, modern filtration systems, automation controls, and proper construction techniques help simplify maintenance requirements. We provide guidance on pool care and can recommend maintenance practices that help protect your investment for years to come.
Yes. In addition to new construction, we provide pool remodeling services for homeowners looking to update aging pools.
