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.
Tarrytown Custom Pool Builders
Tarrytown is one of Austin's most established neighborhoods, with mature trees, classic homes, and lots that back toward Lake Austin. A pool here should fit that character, not fight it. We design pools that match the architecture and work around the tight access and old root systems common on these streets.

Around Tarrytown
Pools for Classic Austin Homes
Tarrytown is old Austin at its finest. Tree lined streets, classic homes, and a location minutes from Lake Austin and downtown that keeps it perennially in demand.
The lots here come with history. Many hold mature pecans and live oaks, original homes, and the tight access that comes with a neighborhood built generations ago.
We have built pools across Tarrytown that respect all of that, fitting modern design into a setting that values its character.
The Tarrytown Lot
Tarrytown lots are established, often shaded by decades old trees, and frequently close to neighbors. Getting equipment in past a 1940s home and protecting root zones takes real planning.
The ground here is mostly Austin clay, which swells and shrinks with the seasons. That makes proper drainage and a well engineered shell essential, so the pool does not crack as the soil moves.
We model your pool in 3D so you can see it among your trees and setbacks before we start, and we handle the City of Austin permits and any historic area considerations.

Common Questions
Building a Pool in Tarrytown: Common Questions
How much does a custom pool cost in Tarrytown?
Custom pools in Tarrytown typically start in the low six figures, with cost shaped by the tight, established lots that require careful access past older homes and protection for mature trees. We model the design in 3D and lock a fixed price up front, so the work needed on a constrained Tarrytown lot is clear before construction.
Can you fit a pool on my tight Tarrytown lot?
Yes, Tarrytown lots are established and often close to neighbors, so we design geometric, small inground, or plunge pools sized to your space and plan access past older homes carefully. We protect the decades old pecans and live oaks common in Tarrytown with tree and root zone care planned before we start.
Do you handle Tarrytown permits and clay soil engineering?
Yes, we manage City of Austin and Travis County permits, inspections, and drainage compliance for Tarrytown, plus any HOA review. Tarrytown sits mostly on Austin clay, so we engineer drainage and a steel reinforced shell to handle the seasonal movement and back it with a warranty.
