Ranch at Brushy Creek.
Custom gunite pools and renovations for Ranch at Brushy Creek — the 1,300-home community between Parmer Lane and Brushy Creek Road. We know the shallow rock under these yards, the architectural review, and the City of Cedar Park permit process.
Built for Ranch at Brushy Creek backyards.
Ranch at Brushy Creek broke ground in 2005 and did not close out until 2022 — seventeen years of build-out and more than 1,300 homes across a set of sections bounded by Parmer Lane on the west, Brushy Creek on the north and east, and Brushy Creek Road on the south. Houses here are large, averaging around 3,350 square feet and running from about 1,800 up past 6,000, built by David Weekley, Drees, Scott Felder, Sitterle, Taylor Morrison, Highland, Meritage, Lennar and a dozen others over the years.
That long build-out is why we see two completely different jobs on the same street map. The 2005–2010 sections have pools that are now fifteen to twenty years old and due for replaster, new tile and coping, and modern equipment. The last sections to close out still have untouched backyards waiting for a first pool. Trinity is Donna and Ben — thirty-plus years of gunite, no sales team — and we do both, with the same crew from first sketch to first swim.
What we plan for here.
Shallow rock along the Brushy Creek corridor
This is Edwards Plateau ground, and the soil cap over it is thin — often only six to twenty-four inches of clay before you are into caliche and limestone. Along the Brushy Creek corridor it can be shallower still. That is not a problem, it is a plan: we check the dig on the first visit, bring hydraulic breakers instead of hoping for dirt, and put any rock removal in the written quote as its own line item rather than a mid-excavation change order.
Seventeen years of homes, two kinds of pool project
Because the community was built from 2005 through 2022, the work splits cleanly. In the older sections we are renovating — replaster, retile, new coping, deck expansion, variable-speed equipment to replace a pump that has run for two decades. In the newest sections we are building from scratch in yards that have never been touched. We quote only what actually needs work, which on a renovation is often less than you expect.
Gated sections, HOA review, and equipment screening
The Ranch at Brushy Creek association has been running since 2004, several sections are gated, and parts of the community sit under their own sub-associations such as Trailside. Review here pays attention to screening, setbacks, and where equipment lands relative to a neighbor. We prepare the site plan and renderings the review board expects and pull the City of Cedar Park building and electrical permits ourselves.
Every service, in Ranch at Brushy Creek.
Gunite pools near Ranch at Brushy Creek.
We build throughout Cedar Park, including Brushy Creek Lake Park, the Williamson County Regional Trail, and the Parmer Lane corridor, and across Williamson County and Central Texas.
Yes. We prepare the site plan and renderings your section needs — including the gated sections and sub-associations like Trailside — and time the build around approval. We also pull the City of Cedar Park building and electrical permits and handle the stamped engineering, so you are not chasing paperwork.
Usually some. The clay cap here is often just six to twenty-four inches over caliche and limestone, and it gets shallower toward the creek. We read the ground on the first site visit and quote breaker work up front as its own line item, so the rock is in the written price rather than a surprise halfway through the dig.
Renovate, almost always. A twenty-year-old gunite shell is usually structurally fine; what is worn out is the plaster, tile, coping, and equipment. Replaster, retile, a variable-speed pump and a salt system will make it feel like a new pool for a fraction of a new build. We tell you honestly if the shell is the exception.
Most of our new gunite pools run $85k–$145k with standard plaster; premium finishes, water features, and the larger footprints these yards allow push toward $180k–$220k. Rock removal is itemized separately, and renovations are quoted by scope. You get a written quote after one site visit.
