Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a pool "Texas Tough"?
A “Texas Tough” pool is engineered to withstand our state’s unique climate and shifting soil conditions. Leveraging over 38 years of structural concrete and steel experience, combined with our extensive PHTA certification process and continued education, we use reinforced steel schedules and high-PSI gunite to ensure long-term durability.
Are your project managers professionally trained?
Yes. Although Texas does not mandate certification, our projects are guided by a PHTA-certified team, reflecting our commitment to elevated standards and professional best practices.
What is the "Single Contractor Advantage"?
This is our turnkey commitment to your project. From the initial 3D design to the final landscaping, outdoor kitchens, and hardscaping, we manage the entire project—guaranteeing a cohesive design and a stress-free experience.
How long does it take to build a Natural Sand Pool?
Our patented natural sand pools can often be completed in as little as 10–14 days. These eco-friendly designs offer a beach-entry feel and stay significantly cooler under the Texas sun than traditional concrete.
What are the requirements for an Infinity Pool?
Infinity (or vanishing edge) pools require precise hydraulic and structural engineering to ensure the water level remains perfectly balanced. We assess your property’s elevation and soil to engineer a reinforced basin that stays level for life.
Are Plunge Pools a good fit for smaller backyards?
Absolutely. Plunge pools provide a sophisticated, compact solution for homeowners with limited space who still want the luxury and “Texas Tough” durability of a custom gunite build.
How do we start the design process?
Every journey begins with a 3D design consultation. This allows you to visualize your entire backyard in high-fidelity before the first shovel hits the dirt.
Do you offer upfront pricing?
Yes. We provide straightforward, transparent pricing without hidden costs, empowering you to make informed decisions about your investment from the very beginning.
How long does a traditional custom gunite pool take to build?
A high-end custom gunite pool typically requires 10–16 weeks to complete. This timeline includes the critical 30-Day curing period for the concrete, which is essential for maximum structural integrity.
Do you handle the permitting and HOA approval process?
Yes, we are a full-service turnkey contractor. We manage all necessary municipal permits and work with you to provide the documentation required for HOA approvals in both the Houston/Tomball and Austin/Spicewood regions.
Can you build on difficult terrain or rocky slopes?
Absolutely. Leveraging our 38+ years of structural expertise, we specialize in engineering “Texas Tough” foundations for challenging sites, including the rocky dolomite of the Hill Country and the expansive clay soils of the Houston area.
