The Kahuna,
the Crews, and
Fifty Years of Nashville Pools

Backyard Resort Pools is a Nashville pool construction company founded by Ernie Nagy, the builder Middle Tennessee knows as the Pool Kahuna. For more than fifty years, the company has designed and built custom swimming pools in concrete gunite, fiberglass, vinyl, and ICF for homeowners across greater Nashville. E komo mai. Come meet the people behind the water.

Who Is Ernie Nagy?

Ernie Nagy is a licensed swimming pool contractor and the founder of Backyard Resort Pools in Nashville, Tennessee. He has spent more than five decades building pools, long enough to have dug into every kind of lot Middle Tennessee offers and to have learned, shell by shell, what this region’s clay soil and freeze-thaw winters do to work that gets rushed. Somewhere along the way, customers started calling him the Pool Kahuna, and the name stuck. [ONE TRUE SENTENCE ON THE KAHUNA ORIGIN.] The title fits the philosophy: island ease in how a backyard should feel, and a craftsman’s stubbornness in how it gets built.

The Kahuna Way

The company runs on rules Ernie set fifty years ago and has never bent. Every customer gets one itemized quote before signing, and that number is the number they pay. Every shell is engineered for Tennessee clay, every plumbing run is pressure-tested before backfill, and every permit and inspection is handled by the company, not the homeowner. And every backyard is treated as a resort in the making, not a hole with water in it. That is what the name Backyard Resort Pools has meant in Nashville for fifty years.

CONTINUITY

Fifty Years of Expertise, Carried by Every Crew

A company built around one man’s standards has to answer one question honestly: what happens when the work outgrows one man? Backyard Resort Pools answered it by training, not diluting. Today the company builds with multiple crews of experienced pool professionals, each working under supervisors trained directly to Ernie’s standard. The methods he refined over fifty years, the site preparation, the reinforcement, the pressure testing, the finish work, are the company’s methods now, written into how every crew builds. When a Backyard Resort Pools crew breaks ground in Franklin or Hendersonville, the homeowner gets the same build Ernie would have delivered with his own hands, because the people delivering it learned it from him.

What We Build

Backyard Resort Pools designs and installs concrete gunite pools, fiberglass pools, custom vinyl pools, and ICF pools, along with the outdoor living that turns a pool into a resort: patios, grill islands, fire features, and falling water. The company is the only builder in the Nashville market offering insulated concrete form construction, which holds heat, cuts energy bills, and stretches the swim season on both ends.

WHERE WE BUILD

Rooted in Nashville, Building Across Middle Tennessee

From Nashville, the company serves Brentwood, Franklin, Gallatin, Hendersonville, Lebanon, Mount Juliet, Murfreesboro, Smyrna, and Spring Hill, across Davidson, Williamson, Sumner, Wilson, and Rutherford counties. Fifty years in one market means the crews know the neighborhoods, the HOA boards, the Metro permit office, and the soil under all of it.
