Pool Builders & Outdoor Living in Sherrills Ford

Sherrills Ford is a sought-after Lake Norman peninsula community on the lake's western shore — and our home base. Sherrills Ford combines waterfront living with a tight-knit neighborhood feel, stunning lake views, and easy access to both Charlotte and Hickory. Craft Master Pools & Spas serves Sherrills Ford and the broader Lake Norman area with custom swimming pools, integrated spas, pool renovation, patios and decks, outdoor kitchens, fire features, pergolas and pavilions, retaining walls, and yard drainage — nine specialty services delivered by a single crew under one accountable project lead.

Sherrills Ford lots are often larger than their Mecklenburg-side counterparts, with waterfront parcels carrying shoreline restrictions and view-corridor considerations. Mature trees, gentle slope, and lake-view orientation typically drive where the pool, deck, and outdoor structures sit on the lot. Lake Norman proximity and waterfront orientation shape many of the projects we design here — view corridors, shoreline setbacks, and slope toward the water all factor into where the pool can sit on the lot. Yards in the Lake Norman area frequently include slope toward the water, mature hardwoods, and view corridors that drive where a pool can sit on the lot. Every project starts with a site walk so the design responds to what the lot actually gives us — soil, slope, sun, existing trees, and any HOA or jurisdictional design guidelines — rather than a template forced onto the property.

Permitting in Sherrills Ford runs through Catawba County Building Services, and we manage the entire submission, plan review, and inspection process as part of every build. Construction sequenced around the lake's full four-season climate — humid summers, cool winters, and the freeze-thaw cycles that demand properly engineered shells and decks drives how we sequence construction and detail the deck, coping, and waterline — the same details that keep older NC pools out of trouble years down the road. Sherrills Ford is our home base — Catawba County's stretch of Lake Norman, larger lots, and the community we know best.
