Expert pool resurfacing for Ocala's unique limestone terrain and artesian spring water. Serving retirement communities, equestrian estates, and residential properties throughout Marion County since 2008.
Specialized solutions for Marion County's limestone karst terrain, artesian spring water, and retirement community pools
Ocala's unique karst limestone geology creates special challenges for pool surfaces. Our specialized gel coat formulations resist etching from Marion County's naturally alkaline artesian spring water (pH 7.5-8.2). We address calcium scaling common in Ocala pools, especially in equestrian estates near Silver Springs and Rainbow Springs where mineral content is exceptionally high. Our marine-grade gel coat includes UV inhibitors for Florida's intense sun while maintaining flexibility for limestone bedrock settling.
Ocala's extensive retirement communities (including On Top of the World, Oak Run, and Stone Creek) require specialized pool maintenance. We apply senior-friendly plaster finishes with smoother textures and non-slip aggregates. Our formulations resist staining from Marion County's hard water (320-400 ppm hardness) and prevent rough surfaces that can scratch sensitive skin. We schedule work to minimize disruption to active adult community amenities.
Ocala sits atop Florida's most extensive limestone cave systems and underground aquifers. Before resurfacing, our team addresses foundation settling, sinkhole-related cracks, and beam displacement unique to karst terrain. We reinforce vulnerable areas, repair stress fractures from ground shifting, and apply flexible resurfacing materials that accommodate minor soil movement. Essential for properties near Marion County's numerous springs and cave systems.
Ocala's world-renowned horse country estates demand exceptional pool aesthetics. We offer luxury finishes including exposed pebble, glass tile accents, and custom color matching for prestigious properties in Golden Ocala, Marion Landing, and farm estates. These premium surfaces withstand Ocala's clay-rich soil runoff, agricultural dust, and outdoor entertaining demands while complementing equestrian architecture and landscaping.
Specialized procedures for Marion County's unique geological and water conditions
Ocala's high water table from the Floridan Aquifer requires specialized dewatering. We drain your pool following Marion County environmental regulations while monitoring groundwater levels. For pools near artesian springs or in low-lying areas like Fairfield Village and Silver Springs Shores, we install temporary dewatering systems to prevent hydrostatic uplift that could damage your pool shell during resurfacing.
Our Ocala crew removes deteriorated material and addresses karst-related issues including settlement cracks, calcium deposits from spring water, and agricultural dust contamination common in horse country. We test the underlying concrete for limestone-caused alkalinity issues and apply bonding agents designed for Marion County's unique geology. Special attention to pools in older neighborhoods like Historic Downtown Ocala and Southeast Ocala.
Professional installation of your chosen finish during Ocala's optimal conditions. We work early morning to avoid afternoon heat (Ocala averages 92°F in summer) and schedule around Marion County's seasonal rainfall patterns. Our application techniques account for Ocala's lower humidity than coastal Florida, ensuring proper adhesion and curing for long-lasting results in Central Florida's inland climate.
Ocala's artesian well water and municipal supply (both sourced from limestone aquifer) require special chemical treatment. We fill your pool and immediately address high pH, elevated calcium hardness (often 300+ ppm), and mineral content. Our Ocala-specific startup protocol prevents calcium scaling, plaster dusting, and discoloration that can occur with improper chemistry in Marion County's unique water conditions.
Complete Marion County Building Department final inspection, full equipment commissioning, and detailed handover. We provide Ocala-specific maintenance instructions including seasonal care for retirement community pools, equestrian property considerations (dust management, tree debris), and water chemistry monitoring for artesian spring water sources. Year-round swimming season guidance included.
