Pool Installation in Westlake, TX
Fort Worth PoolSmiths builds custom pools for the large, sloped lots of Westlake. With premium finishes, full automation, and water features planned into the hydraulics from day one, our locally owned crew handles every step for your estate yard.
What Every Westlake Pool Build Includes
Estate lots and elevation changes mean a Westlake build has its own considerations. We handle every phase so you have one crew from the first shovel to the first swim.
Site Assessment & Layout
Westlake lots are often large and sloped, so we measure the elevation, the sightlines from the house, and the drainage before we plan the pool. A layout that accounts for the grade is what makes a custom pool feel like it belongs on an estate lot.
Excavation & Dig
We handle the dig and the grading on sloped Westlake lots so the shell sits level and the yard sheds runoff the right way. Proper excavation on a hillside prevents settling cracks and water pooling around the shell.
Shell Construction
We build the gunite shell to hold its shape and stand up to North Texas soil movement and the grade changes common on Westlake properties. The shell is the backbone of the pool, and we take the time to get it right.
Plumbing & Circulation
We run the plumbing for skimmers, returns, drains, and water features so the water moves efficiently and the features run on the pool's own hydraulics. Good circulation keeps the water clean and the chemicals balanced with less effort.
Equipment Setup
We install premium pumps, filters, heaters, and full automation from Pentair and Hayward so you can control the pool, the lights, and the water features from your phone. Matching the equipment to the pool size prevents short cycling and wear.
Finish & Startup
We apply a premium interior finish, fill the pool, balance the water, and walk you through how to use your new pool and its automation. You start with clear water and a crew that knows your equipment.
Premium Materials & Equipment We Build With
We build with gunite and shotcrete shells because they hold up to the grade changes and soil movement common on Westlake estate lots. For finishes we use high end pebble and quartz products from PebbleTec and Wet Edge that look sharp and last under the open sun. The finish you pick changes the color of the water and the feel underfoot, and we walk you through every option.
For tile and coping we install premium products from National Pool Tile and StoneScapes so the waterline and the pool edge match your home and your patio. We choose tile that resists staining and coping that stays safe to walk on when wet. The right materials at the start keep the pool looking sharp for years with less maintenance.
On the equipment side we install premium pumps, filters, heaters, and full automation from Pentair and Hayward because parts and service are easy to find across North Texas. We size the pump and filter to your pool volume so the water turns over efficiently without overworking the motor. A matched equipment pad runs quieter, uses less energy, and lasts longer than a pieced together setup.
We also install LED lighting, salt systems, and automation controllers so you can run the pool, the lights, and the water features from your phone. Building the technology in during installation is cleaner and more reliable than retrofitting it later. We set up the automation, test every feature, and show you how to use it before we hand over the pool.
How a Westlake Pool Build Comes Together
Four clear phases, the same on every build, so you always know what is happening next.
Design & Walkthrough
We walk your lot, check the elevation and the drainage, and talk through the shape, depth, and features you want. Then we hand you a clear written quote before any dirt moves.
Permits & Dig
We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and excavate the site with the grade in mind. The shell is formed and reinforced to stand up to North Texas soil.
Plumbing & Equipment
We run the plumbing for the pool and the water features, and install the pump, filter, heater, and automation so the whole system works together from the start.
Finish, Fill & Startup
We apply the premium finish, fill the pool, balance the water, and test every feature. Then we walk you through how to use and enjoy your new pool.
Custom Pools on Westlake Estate Lots
Westlake properties in neighborhoods like Vaquero and Glenwyck Farms are often large and custom, which lets us design a pool that fits the lot and the home. We coordinate with your builder and landscaper so the pool, the patio, the water features, and the drainage all work together. The result is a finished backyard that feels planned and intentional, not pieced together.
Estate lots also let us size the equipment to the pool and the features from the start, with room for tanning ledges, spas, waterfalls, and full automation built into the layout. We plan for how you will actually use the water, whether that is laps, family swim, or a quiet place to entertain. You can see more about our full range of builds on our pool renovations page and our pool equipment installation page.
We serve homeowners across the region, so if your project is outside Westlake you can learn more on our Westlake pool cleaning page or our service areas page.
Signs You Are Ready for a New Pool
Westlake lots are large and often sloped, which makes them a natural canvas for a custom pool. If any of these sound familiar, a new pool installation is probably the right next step for your yard.
- Your Westlake backyard has the space and the sun, but no pool to show for it
- You are building a custom home and want the pool planned with the lot from the start
- Your family swims enough that a backyard pool would pay for itself in convenience
- You want a custom pool with water features and automation designed for your estate lot
What Is Included in a Westlake Pool Build
Every pool installation includes the design, the shell, the plumbing, the equipment, the finish, and the startup, all handled by one locally owned crew. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and keep you updated at every phase so there are no surprises. When we hand over the pool, the water is balanced, the equipment is tested, and you know how to run it.
If you are wondering what a new pool costs, every build is different so we quote after a free walkthrough of your yard and a conversation about what you want. We give a free written quote after seeing your situation, no pressure, and there are no surprise charges added later. You will see the full scope, the materials, and the timeline before you commit to anything.

Common questions from Westlake homeowners about building a custom pool on an estate lot.
Westlake builds tend to be custom and detailed, so they often take longer than a standard build. A pool with water features, a spa, and full automation on a sloped lot can take several weeks from dig to first swim. We give you a clear timeline before we start and keep you updated at every milestone.
