A Custom Pool Builder Llano Has Trusted Since 1999
Around Llano
Built for Llano
Llano sits in granite country northwest of Austin, where the land opens up and the lots get big. Homeowners here have space to work with, river frontage in places, and views that run for miles.
That open land is a gift and a challenge. Rural sites mean planning for access, water, and drainage on ground that is often solid rock. That is the kind of build Modern Pools does well. We have engineered custom pools onto Hill Country acreage and rock for years.
The Llano Lot
Most lots here are large and rural, and much of the county sits on hard granite and limestone. That means real excavation, a plan for access to remote pool sites, and drainage worked out before we dig.
It also means freedom. A big Llano property is the perfect home for a sweeping freeform pool that settles into the land, or a clean geometric design beside a modern ranch home, with water features that echo the nearby river.
Many Llano properties run on wells and septic, so we lay out the pool, equipment, and fill around those systems. We handle the permitting and county requirements for you.

Common Questions
Llano Pool FAQs
How much does a custom pool cost in Llano?
Custom pools in Llano usually start in the low six figures and rise with the size of the project, the amount of rock excavation, and features like spas and water features. We give you a clear fixed price contract after we see your property, so the rural site does not become a surprise.
Can you build a pool on rural Llano acreage?
Yes, rural sites are our specialty, and we have built on Hill Country granite and limestone for over twenty five years since 1999. We plan access, drainage, and the pool layout around your well and septic, and engineer the shell for the rock underneath.
Do you handle Llano County permits for a pool?
Yes, we manage Llano County permits, drainage, and inspections, and we plan the pool and equipment around well and septic locations. We prepare the paperwork so your project is cleared before we break ground.
