Pools for Old Hickory Lake lots in Hendersonville

How do you build a pool on a lot that slopes to the lake?

The slope sets the design. A gunite pool can be shaped and stepped to follow the fall of the yard, with a vanishing edge facing the water or a raised spa at the high end. Where the ground drops, a retaining wall holds the deck level. On a flatter terrace, a fiberglass shell works too.

Old Hickory Lake covers about 6.5 square miles of water within the city. On a lot that runs down to it, the site visit traces how storm water crosses the yard before the pool is placed.

What does Hendersonville require?

Hendersonville’s planning worksheet for pools and hot tubs, revised in January 2024, sets a 5-foot setback measured to the water. Third-party listings put Building and Codes at 101 Maple Dr. N. and report the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code in use; ask the city to confirm the edition when plans are filed.

The same rules apply across the city, from Indian Lake Village to the streets near Rock Castle and Monthaven. State law adds two more: a pool alarm planned before the permit, and an 811 locate request ahead of the dig.

On a lake lot, the pool is often one level of several, with a patio near the house and steps down toward the water. We draw those levels together, so the walls, stairs and drainage line up.

Do we maintain pools after they are built?

No. Angelic builds fiberglass and gunite pools, hardscaping and outdoor living spaces, and hands over a finished pool at the final walkthrough. For weekly service you’ll want a maintenance company. What we can do is lay out the deck, the covered seating and lighting and the equipment pad so routine care is easy to reach.
