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.
Wimberley Custom Pool Builders
Custom pool building in Wimberley means working on Hill Country acreage near the Blanco River, where lots sit on limestone under old cypress trees. We have spent over twenty five years engineering pools onto rock and slope like this, with freeform designs, spas, and water features that fit the natural setting.

Wimberley's Custom Pool Builder Since 1999
Around Wimberley
Built for Wimberley
Wimberley sits in some of the prettiest country in Central Texas, where the Blanco River and Cypress Creek run over pale limestone under old cypress trees. Homeowners here want backyards that feel like part of that landscape.
The land is beautiful and it takes care to build on. Lots roll across rock, sit near the water, and often run on acreage. That is the kind of project Modern Pools was built for. We have engineered custom pools onto Hill Country rock and slope for years.
The Wimberley Lot
Most lots here are large, and nearly all sit on limestone near creeks or the river. That means real rock excavation, grading across the slope, and drainage planned with the water table and floodways in mind.
It also means a natural setting to design around. A Wimberley lot is the perfect home for a freeform pool that echoes the creek, or a clean geometric design beside a modern home, with water features that mirror the springs the area is known for.
Many Wimberley properties run on wells and septic, so we plan the pool, equipment, and fill around those systems. We handle the permitting and Hays County requirements for you.

Common Questions
Building a Pool in Wimberley: Common Questions
How much does a custom pool cost in Wimberley?
Custom pools in Wimberley usually start in the low six figures and rise with the size of the project, the rock excavation, and features like spas and water features. We give you a clear fixed price contract after we see your property, so the Hill Country site does not become a surprise.
Can you build a pool on Wimberley acreage near the water?
Yes, creekside and acreage lots are our specialty, and we have built on Hill Country limestone for over twenty five years since 1999. We plan grading, drainage, and the pool layout with the water table and floodways in mind, and around your well and septic.
Do you handle Wimberley and Hays County permits?
Yes, we manage Hays County and City of Wimberley permits, drainage, and inspections, and we lay out the pool and equipment around well and septic systems. We prepare the paperwork so your project is cleared before we break ground.
