How a Project Works
Every project runs through the same four phases, managed by one team from first walkthrough to final plaster: single-builder accountability, not a chain of subcontractors.
- 1
Site & Consultation
A walk of your property to evaluate soil, drainage, setbacks, and what you actually want to use the space for, before anything is designed.
- 2
Design & Planning
A plan built around your home, lot, and budget, not a catalog shape. This is also where financing options and a firm timeline get locked in.
- 3
Construction
Excavation, steel, gunite or shell-set, plumbing, and electrical, managed phase to phase by the same team that designed the project.
- 4
Final Details
Decking, plaster or finish, equipment start-up, water balance, and a walkthrough before your pool is ready to use.
Local Notes
Cinco Ranch and the surrounding Katy-area MUD communities require HOA or architectural-committee approval before pool construction starts; that approval step is handled during design, not after excavation begins. Katy prairie soil is a dense clay that holds water and expands and contracts with the seasons, which is exactly the soil movement a properly engineered gunite shell is built to handle.
What clients say:
“The whole process was smooth from the first walkthrough to the final plaster. One team the entire way, no passing us between subcontractors.”
— Jenny Wilson
“Communication was the best part. We always knew what phase we were in and what was next.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of pools do you build?
We build custom gunite (concrete) pools and fiberglass pools, plus patio and outdoor-living renovations and repair/resurfacing work on existing pools. Gunite is fully custom-shaped and engineered for Texas clay soils; fiberglass installs faster with a lower-maintenance gel-coat finish.
How long does it take to build a pool?
A gunite pool typically runs several months from permitting through final plaster because it is built in sequential phases (excavation, steel, gunite, plumbing/electrical, decking, finish, start-up). A fiberglass pool is faster since the shell arrives pre-manufactured and is set in one piece, cutting weeks off the construction phase.
Do you handle permits and HOA approval?
Yes. Permitting and, where applicable, HOA or architectural-review approval are handled as part of the design phase before construction starts, so the project is not held up mid-build waiting on paperwork.
Is financing available?
Yes, through Foundation Finance and Lyon Financial, both of which offer financing built for pool and backyard construction. Financing terms are discussed during the design and planning step.
Do I need Cinco Ranch HOA approval before building a pool?
Most Cinco Ranch and Katy-area master-planned communities require architectural committee approval before pool construction. That approval is built into the design step so it does not delay your excavation date once construction begins.
Is Katy soil a problem for pool construction?
Katy prairie clay expands and contracts more than sandy soil, which is why a gunite pool engineered with proper rebar density and bond-beam detailing for local soil conditions is the standard recommendation over a shortcut build.
