25+ years building in Austin
Founded in 1999, Modern Pools has designed and built custom pools across Austin, Texas and the surrounding Hill Country for more than a quarter century.
Lakeway Custom Pool Builders
Lakeway sits high above Lake Travis on rolling, rocky terrain, and the views are the whole point. Homeowners here want pools that capture the lake and the open Hill Country sky. We build view driven designs and infinity edges onto these slopes, with the rock work and drainage planned before we start.

Why Lakeway Homeowners Build With Us
Around Lakeway
Pools With a View of the Lake
Lakeway is built for the outdoors. Perched above Lake Travis in the western Hill Country, it draws people who want golf, water, and big open views.
A pool here should capture that. From hilltop lots that look out over the lake to homes tucked into the rolling terrain, Lakeway is prime ground for a view driven design.
Modern Pools has built across Lakeway and the surrounding Travis County hills for years, engineering pools onto the slopes and rock that define this area.
The Lakeway Lot
Lakeway lots roll across limestone and caliche, often with significant grade. Many sit on hilltops or hillsides that look toward Lake Travis, which makes them ideal for infinity edges and view framing designs.
Building here means rock excavation, retaining walls to carve out a level pool area, and drainage engineered for the slope. We plan all of it before we start so the pool sits solid and the view stays the star.
We handle Travis County permitting and the HOA review common in Lakeway communities.

Common Questions
Your Lakeway Pool Questions, Answered
How much does a custom pool cost in Lakeway?
Custom pools in Lakeway generally start in the low six figures and rise with the limestone and caliche excavation and retaining walls that hillside lots require. We price the rock work accurately in a fixed quote up front, so a view driven Lakeway build has no hidden excavation surprises.
Can you build a pool with a Lake Travis view on my Lakeway lot?
Yes, Lakeway hilltop and hillside lots are ideal for view driven designs and infinity edges that spill toward Lake Travis, and we engineer the slope and edge so the view stays the star. We build throughout Lakeway communities like The Hills of Lakeway, Rough Hollow, Flintrock Falls, Lakeway Highlands, and Serene Hills.
Do you handle Lakeway permits and HOA review?
Yes, we manage City of Lakeway and Travis County permits, inspections, and drainage compliance, plus the HOA and architectural review most Lakeway communities require. We prepare the submittals so your Lakeway project clears review before we break ground.
