Gunite pools in Hartsville and Trousdale County

Who permits a pool in Hartsville?

Trousdale County’s Building, Codes & Zoning office, at 328 Broadway, Room 1, (615) 374-1125. We found no pool or barrier rule posted by the county, so the office confirms the code and barrier requirements when plans are filed. Two state rules apply regardless: a pool alarm must be part of the plan before the county can permit the pool, and 811 needs at least 3 working days’ notice.

Why gunite?

Because the shape is yours. A gunite shell is concrete shot over a steel cage on site and finished by hand, which makes grottos, beach entries, raised spas and vanishing edges possible. It takes longer to build than fiberglass, and the hand-applied interior wears and needs renewing eventually. For a faster install in a set shape, fiberglass remains an option.

What are the land and water like?

Hartsville’s business district sits on the West Fork of Goose Creek, which empties into Old Hickory Lake. Each lot gets its own look at soil, slope and drainage. Trey Park is in town, and the site of the Hartsville Nuclear Plant, which TVA canceled in 1984, is part of local history.

A long build this far from Brentwood still runs on our process: the site cleaned daily, and an update as each stage finishes. Eli Wilkinson wrote that “The project site was kept clean and organized each day.”

What should a Hartsville pool plan include?

The shell, deck, fence and equipment pad, drawn on the lot with the creek, the slope and any septic system marked. Around it, a stone patio or retaining wall and, if you want one, a covered seating area from our outdoor living work. All of it sits in one contract and one schedule.
