Custom Pool Builder Fort Worth

Inground Swimming Pool Installation
Options

Every backyard is different. RP Landscape designs and builds across the full range of inground pool types, each with its own advantages for the North Texas environment.

Gunite / Concrete Pools

The most popular choice for custom builds in Colleyville and Southlake. Gunite allows any shape, depth, and feature configuration, and performs exceptionally well in North Texas's expansive clay soil conditions.

Freeform Pools

Natural, organic shapes that feel like a resort lagoon in your backyard. Freeform swimming pool designs are RP Landscape's most requested style, soft curves, irregular edges, and natural stone integration create a one-of-a-kind look.

Geometric Pools

Clean lines and defined shapes for modern and contemporary homes. Geometric pools work beautifully alongside paver decks and structured outdoor living areas, a popular choice for Westlake's architectural estates.

Infinity Edge Pools

A dramatic visual statement for elevated properties. The infinity edge, where water appears to spill off the edge seamlessly, creates a luxury resort aesthetic that elevates the entire backyard experience.

Pool & Spa Combinations

Integrate a heated spa into your pool design for year-round use. Spa additions are most popular in Southlake and Colleyville where homeowners want maximum outdoor living enjoyment across every season.

Lap & Exercise Pools

Designed for fitness rather than leisure. Narrower, longer dimensions with optional current systems. A growing segment among Fort Worth homeowners who want function and aesthetics in one clean design.

Freeform Swimming Pool Designs Built for Your Yard

No two properties are the same, and no two freeform pools should be either. At RP Landscape, every freeform swimming pool design starts with your specific yard dimensions, sun orientation, existing landscape, and how you plan to use the space.

We use 3D design software to render your pool before a single shovel enters the ground. You'll see exactly how the pool will look, how it integrates with the deck and landscaping, and where features like waterfalls, tanning ledges, and lighting will sit, all before approving the build plan.

Our design philosophy is simple: the pool should feel like it grew there naturally, not like it was dropped into a pre-dug hole. That distinction is visible in every finished project we deliver across Fort Worth, Southlake, and Colleyville TX.

How much does pool construction cost in Fort Worth TX?
DFW inground pool construction costs range from $45,000 for a basic custom pool to $500,000+ for a resort-style estate build. Most mid-range residential projects in Fort Worth fall between $90,000 and $180,000. North Texas expansive clay soil adds $5,000–$30,000 in engineering costs compared to national averages. RP Landscape provides free, fully itemized estimates based on your specific property and design goals.
How long does new pool construction take in Fort Worth?
Most new inground pool construction projects take 10-16 weeks from permit approval to first swim. Permit processing in Fort Worth and surrounding cities typically takes 2-4 weeks. HOA architectural review in communities like Southlake and Westlake adds another 2-4 weeks before construction can begin. Fall and winter builds often move faster due to shorter permit queues and lower contractor demand.
Do I need a permit for pool construction in Fort Worth TX?
Yes. Pool construction in Fort Worth requires a building permit and inspections at multiple stages of construction. HOA communities in Colleyville, Southlake, and Westlake also require architectural review approval before construction. RP Landscape manages all permit applications and HOA submissions as part of our standard construction process, you don't need to navigate the paperwork yourself.
What are the best freeform swimming pool designs for a North Texas backyard?
Freeform pools with integrated spa, tanning ledge, and natural stone or travertine decking are the most popular design choices in Fort Worth, Colleyville, and Southlake. The organic shape of a freeform pool works well with the mature landscaping and curved lot lines common in established North Texas neighborhoods. RP Landscape's design team creates custom 3D renders for every project so you can visualize your specific freeform design before construction begins.
Is RP Landscape a licensed pool builder near me in Fort Worth?
Yes. RP Landscape is fully licensed and insured for pool construction in Texas and has been building pools across the Fort Worth metro since 1995. All construction is performed by our own employed, licensed crew, we do not subcontract your project. We're based locally in Fort Worth and serve Colleyville, Southlake, Westlake, Grand Prairie, and all surrounding communities. Proof of licensing and insurance is available upon request.
Can RP Landscape integrate an outdoor kitchen or pergola with my new pool?
Absolutely. RP Landscape offers complete outdoor living design and construction, meaning your pool, paver deck, outdoor kitchen, pergola, and landscape lighting can all be planned and built together as one cohesive project. Building these elements simultaneously is more efficient, more cost-effective, and produces a more integrated finished result than adding them separately over time.
