When it comes to transforming your swimming pool into a true backyard retreat, selecting the right pool finish is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Pool finishes not only impact the look of your pool but also its texture, durability, and long-term maintenance. Whether you’re building a new pool or resurfacing an existing one, understanding your finish options can help you create a space you’ll love for years to come.
Why Pool Finish Matters
The pool finish is the final layer that seals your pool and gives it its color, texture, and feel. It directly affects:
- Aesthetic appeal: The finish defines the overall look and tone of your pool.
- Comfort: Some finishes feel smoother on the feet and hands than others.
- Maintenance and longevity: Durable finishes resist staining and require fewer repairs.
Choosing the right pool finish is a balance of beauty, budget, and how you plan to use your pool.
Types of Pool Finishes We Offer
At Gooch Pool Plaster & Repair, we offer several premium pool plaster finishes to match every style and need:
1. Classic White Plaster
The most traditional and cost-effective option. It provides a clean, bright look and smooth surface. Great for homeowners seeking a timeless design.
2. Quartz Finish
A mix of plaster and natural quartz aggregate. It’s more durable than standard plaster and offers a subtle sparkle that enhances the pool’s appearance under sunlight.
3. Pebble Finish
Our most luxurious and long-lasting option. It adds texture and natural variation in color, creating a lagoon-like appearance that blends beautifully with the Southern Utah landscape.

What’s Right for Your Pool?
If you live in a place like St. George or the surrounding Southern Utah region, your pool is likely exposed to intense sun and desert conditions. In this climate, durability is key. Quartz and pebble finishes are particularly well-suited for resisting UV damage, chemical erosion, and heavy use.
We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of each finish based on your pool’s shape, your aesthetic preferences, and your long-term goals.
