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.
Rollingwood Custom Pool Builders
Rollingwood is a small, close knit neighborhood of wooded lots just across the river from downtown Austin. The yards are tight, the trees are mature, and the setbacks are strict, so a pool here has to be planned with care. We protect the trees, work around the neighbors, and size each design to fit the lot.

Around Rollingwood
A Pool That Respects the Neighborhood
Rollingwood is small, leafy, and beloved. Tucked between Zilker Park and West Lake Hills, it has the feel of a hideaway just minutes from downtown Austin.
Building here means respecting that character. The lots are often modest, heavily wooded, and close to neighbors. Mature live oaks and proximity to Eanes Creek call for a builder who works with care, not bulldozes through.
We have built in Rollingwood for years, and we treat every lot like the neighbors are watching, because they are.
The Rollingwood Lot
Rollingwood lots tend to be wooded and tight. Protecting established trees, working around root zones, and getting equipment in without tearing up the yard all take planning.
Many lots sit near Eanes Creek or on gentle slopes that need thoughtful drainage. And with homes close together, a smaller pool, plunge pool, or sleek geometric design often fits best.
We design in 3D so you can see exactly how the pool sits among your trees and setbacks before we touch the ground. We also handle Rollingwood's city permitting and any review for you.

Common Questions
Rollingwood Pool FAQs
How much does a custom pool cost in Rollingwood?
Custom pools in Rollingwood generally start in the low six figures, with cost shaped by the compact, wooded lots that call for careful tree protection and tight equipment access. We model the pool in 3D and set a fixed price up front, so the work needed around your Rollingwood trees and setbacks is priced before construction.
Can you build a pool on my wooded Rollingwood lot?
Yes, Rollingwood lots are often heavily wooded and close to neighbors, so we plan tree protection, root zone care, and equipment access from day one. Compact plunge, small inground, and geometric designs frequently fit best, and we size each pool to your specific Rollingwood lot during design.
Do you handle Rollingwood permits and HOA review?
Yes, we manage City of Rollingwood and Travis County permitting, inspections, and drainage compliance, plus any review your neighborhood requires. We work carefully given the close neighbors and established character of Rollingwood, and we handle the submittals before we break ground.
