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.
Spanish Oaks Custom Pool Builders
Custom pool building in Spanish Oaks means working on gated Hill Country lots that sit on solid limestone and roll across a grade. We have spent over twenty five years engineering pools onto exactly these estate sites, with infinity edges, spas, and outdoor living that turn a big sloped lot into a resort.

Why Spanish Oaks Homeowners Build With Us
Around Spanish Oaks
Built for Spanish Oaks
Spanish Oaks is one of the most sought after places to own a pool west of Austin. The gated community sits on rolling limestone above Bee Cave, with big lots, long views, and a golf course running through the middle of it.
Those lots are made for ambitious backyards. They are also solid rock, and most of them roll across a grade. That is exactly the kind of project Modern Pools was built for. We have engineered custom pools onto Spanish Oaks and Bee Cave limestone for years.
The Spanish Oaks Lot
Most lots here are large, and nearly all of them sit on limestone. That means real rock excavation, careful grading, and retaining walls to shape a level pool area on sloped ground.
It also means room to design. A Spanish Oaks lot is the perfect home for an infinity edge that spills toward the Hill Country, a full spa, and water features that make the whole yard feel like a resort.
We engineer every build for drainage and structure first, so a pool on rock and slope stays solid for decades. We also handle the permitting and any HOA design review your section requires.

Common Questions
Your Spanish Oaks Pool Questions, Answered
How much does a custom pool cost in Spanish Oaks?
Custom pools in Spanish Oaks usually start in the low six figures and run higher than flatter areas because the estate lots here need limestone rock excavation and retaining walls. We price the rock work and structural engineering up front in a fixed price contract, so the terrain does not become a surprise.
Can you build a pool on a sloped Spanish Oaks lot?
Yes, sloped limestone lots are our specialty, and we have built across the Bee Cave hills for over twenty five years since 1999. We add retaining walls and drainage to create a level pool area, often with an infinity edge that spills toward the Hill Country view.
Do you handle Spanish Oaks permits and HOA design review?
Yes, we manage City of Bee Cave and Travis County permits, inspections, and drainage compliance, plus the Spanish Oaks architectural review your section requires. We prepare the submittals so your project clears review before we break ground.
