Custom gunite pools for Leander backyards — mostly blank-slate yards behind new construction, which is the easiest kind of site to design well and the easiest to get wrong.
Most of what we build in Leander goes into a yard that has never had anything in it. Travisso, Crystal Falls, Bryson, Palmera Ridge — the house is two years old, the sod is thin, and there is nothing to work around. That freedom is why Leander pools can be the best-designed ones we do, and why the mistake here is putting a stock shape in the middle of the yard because nothing stopped you.
Donna and Ben added Leander to the service area in 2019 and stopped there. The forty-minute rule is what keeps the same crew on your job from dig to plaster, and Leander is the far edge of it going north.
A brand-new yard usually means compacted fill from the house build, irrigation and drainage already run, and a builder-grade fence you may not want to keep. We check what is under the sod before quoting, because compacted fill and buried utilities are what turn a simple dig into a slow one.
Travisso and parts of Crystal Falls drop hard toward the canyon, and those lots want a different pool than a flat Palmera Ridge yard does — engineered retaining, real drainage, and usually a raised edge or negative edge that turns the grade into the reason you build.
City of Leander building and electrical permits on every job, plus architectural review in Travisso, Crystal Falls, Bryson and Palmera Ridge. Newer HOAs tend to be stricter about equipment screening and setback than established ones, so we draw for that from the start.

We also build throughout Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, Jonestown, and Georgetown, and across Williamson County and Central Texas.
Regularly. Both run architectural review and both have lots steep enough to need engineered retaining — we prepare the HOA drawings and quote the structural work up front.
Most of our gunite pools run $85k–$145k with standard plaster; premium finishes, water features, and larger footprints push toward $180k–$220k. Steep Travisso lots that need retaining add cost we itemize. You get a written quote after one site visit.
Not necessarily, but tell us the house is new. Fill placed during construction settles, and we would rather plan the shell and decking around that than plaster over a guess. It is a design question, not a reason to wait a year.
Yes — City of Leander building and electrical permits on every job, and we coordinate the HOA review alongside them so the two are not sequential.
One site visit. One written quote. No pressure.
