Our New Pool Construction Services

Custom Pool Design & Consultation

We start with a thorough consultation and site analysis to understand your property’s layout, soil type, elevation, and long-term usage goals. We combine aesthetics with function, offering personalized pool shapes, depths, and water features. Our 3D visual tools help clients envision the final product, and our recommendations are backed by years of experience.

Gunite Pool Construction

Specializing in gunite pools, we construct long-lasting, structurally reinforced pools that are well-suited to local soil conditions. Gunite offers complete design flexibility—ideal for freeform or geometric shapes. It’s shot pneumatically to create a solid, high-strength shell that withstands decades of use. Our crew follows industry best practices for curing, structural reinforcement, and crack prevention.

Excavation & Site Preparation

Proper excavation is foundational to a durable pool. We manage every phase of site preparation—from clearing and grading to trenching and compaction. Our experienced crew utilizes advanced equipment to shape the land, ensuring precise depth and alignment. We also install drainage systems to prevent water accumulation and soil movement, which is especially important in flood-prone or uneven areas.

Plumbing & Electrical Installation

We install all plumbing and electrical components using licensed, experienced tradesmen. This includes filtration systems, return lines, skimmers, heaters, LED lighting, automation controls, and more. Each installation is tested for performance and safety, ensuring every pool we build operates flawlessly from day one.

Pool Decking & Hardscapes

Your pool's surroundings are just as important as the water itself. We construct premium decking using brushed concrete, flagstone, travertine, or interlocking pavers—each carefully selected for its durability and aesthetic appeal. We also build retaining walls, steps, and seating to enhance functionality and outdoor enjoyment.

Final Inspections & Start-Up Services

Once construction is complete, we conduct a full inspection to ensure all systems are functioning and meet municipal and state standards. We test water chemistry, calibrate automation, and fine-tune circulation systems. For first-time pool owners, we provide an orientation on care and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does new pool construction take in Godley, Texas?

    On average, construction takes 6 to 10 weeks, depending on weather, design complexity, and permitting timelines within Johnson County or nearby cities. More intricate designs or additions, such as spas, decking, or water features, may extend the timeline. We provide a clear schedule upfront and keep you updated at every stage.


  • What’s the best time of year to build a pool in Texas?

    Fall and early winter are ideal for starting new construction, allowing your pool to be ready by spring while avoiding peak demand. Cooler weather also helps with concrete curing. Beginning in the off-season ensures greater contractor availability and may help reduce delays caused by weather or permit backlogs.

  • Do I need permits to build a pool in Godley or Cleburne?

    Yes, local permits are required. We handle the permitting process for all cities we serve, ensuring compliance with building codes, utility clearances, and safety regulations. Each jurisdiction, such as Godley or Cleburne, may have slightly different requirements, which we manage as part of our construction process.


  • Can gunite pools crack in Texas soil?

    Gunite is one of the most durable materials and performs well in expansive clay soils, which are common in Godley and its surrounding areas. When appropriately reinforced with rebar and engineered to accommodate soil movement, the risk of structural cracks is minimal. We take additional soil prep measures for long-term durability.


  • Are energy-efficient pool systems worth it?

    Absolutely. Energy-efficient pumps, heaters, and LED lighting significantly lower monthly operating costs and extend equipment lifespan. Smart automation features enable scheduling and remote operation, thereby reducing waste and optimizing resource utilization. These upgrades are particularly beneficial in high-use areas, such as Johnson and Hood Counties, where pools are used nearly year-round.


  • What’s included in the design consultation?

    We assess your yard’s layout, soil conditions, slope, and existing infrastructure before proposing a custom pool design tailored to your specific needs. Our consultations also cover desired features such as spas, tanning ledges, or fountains. We utilize 3D modeling when applicable, allowing you to visualize your pool before construction begins.


  • Do you offer maintenance or only construction?

    We specialize in new pool construction, but we work with trusted partners who offer maintenance and repair services throughout Godley and nearby towns. During the handover phase, we provide education on system operation and maintenance so homeowners can confidently manage routine upkeep or opt for a service plan.


  • Will my pool be safe for children and pets?

    Yes. We incorporate safety features like fencing, alarms, locking gates, and designated shallow areas into the design. All features are compliant with Texas safety codes and tailored to your household’s needs. For added protection, we also offer options for automatic covers and non-slip decking.
