Custom Pools, Engineered for Your Austin Backyard
A custom pool should fit your yard, your style, and the way your family actually lives outside, not a fixed mold from a catalog. At Stone Pools, every project is a fully custom gunite (shotcrete) build, designed from scratch for your space and engineered for Central Texas conditions. We have designed and built more than 500 pools across the Austin metro since 2009, and every one is handled start to finish by our own in-house designers, engineers, and construction crews.
That means one accountable team from your first design meeting to the day you dive in. No handoffs to subcontractors, no finger-pointing when something needs to be right. You approve the exact design and an itemized price before we break ground, then our crews build it on schedule with weekly updates. When the water goes in, your pool is backed by a 15-year structural warranty plus lifetime workmanship on the shell.
What's Included
Custom pool construction is a general-contracting job with a dozen trades that have to be sequenced perfectly. We manage all of it so you have a single point of contact:
- Custom design and 3D renderings
- Structural engineering and soil review
- City permits and inspections
- HOA architectural approval package
- Layout, excavation, and rock removal
- Steel, plumbing, and electrical rough-in
- Gunite (shotcrete) shell
- Tile, coping, and interior finish
- Decking, hardscape, and drainage
- Equipment, automation, and startup
Finishes and Materials We Build With
The materials you choose shape both the look and the price of your custom pool. During design we walk you through the options and show samples so you can see and feel each one before deciding:
- Quartz and pebble interior finishes
- Glass, porcelain, and stone waterline tile
- Travertine, limestone, and precast coping
- Cantilever concrete, pavers, and stone decking
- Tanning ledges, benches, and swim-outs
- Integrated spas, spillovers, and water features
- LED lighting and smart automation
- Heaters, saltwater, and UV/ozone sanitation
What Affects Your Price
No two custom pools cost the same, because no two yards or wish lists are the same. These are the biggest factors that move the number on your Austin pool estimate:
- Size, depth, and shape of the pool
- Rock excavation and soil conditions
- Slope, access, and site prep
- Interior finish and tile grade
- Coping and square footage of decking
- Spa, water features, and tanning ledges
- Automation, heating, and lighting
- Retaining walls and drainage on Hill Country lots
