Around Bee Cave
Pools for the Hill Country Suburbs
Bee Cave has grown into one of the most popular spots west of Austin. Strong schools, easy access to the Galleria and Lake Travis, and master planned neighborhoods have drawn families out into the hills.
Those newer lots come with classic Hill Country ground: rolling grade, limestone, and caliche under the topsoil. Building a pool here means working with that terrain, not around it.
Modern Pools has built throughout Bee Cave and the surrounding hills, designing pools that fit both the land and the way families actually use a backyard.
The Bee Cave Lot
Many Bee Cave lots are part of newer subdivisions with gentle to moderate slope and caliche or limestone close to the surface. That can mean rock excavation and thoughtful drainage, especially where lots back up to greenbelt or canyon.
These yards are often perfect for a full backyard build: a generous pool, a tanning ledge, and a real outdoor living space for entertaining. We design the whole thing in 3D so it works together.
Bee Cave neighborhoods usually require HOA approval. We handle those submittals and the Travis County permits for you.

Common Questions
Bee Cave Pool FAQs
How much does a custom pool cost in Bee Cave?
Custom pools in Bee Cave typically start in the low six figures, with cost driven by the caliche and limestone that often sit close to the surface and require rock excavation. We price that excavation and drainage correctly the first time in a fixed contract, so a Bee Cave build stays on budget.
Can you build a full backyard on my Bee Cave lot?
Yes, Bee Cave yards are great for a complete build, a roomy pool with a tanning ledge plus an outdoor kitchen, fire features, and decking, all designed together in 3D. We build throughout Bee Cave communities like Lake Pointe, Falconhead, Sweetwater, and Spanish Oaks.
Do you handle Bee Cave permits and HOA submittals?
Yes, we manage City of Bee Cave and Travis County permits, inspections, and drainage compliance, and we prepare the HOA submittals your master planned community requires. We handle the review for your Bee Cave project before construction begins.
