The Rodgers family knew exactly what they wanted for their Fort Worth home — and they had the professional eye to recognize when they found the right team to build it.
Angie Rodgers, a realtor with an instinct for spatial design, sat down and drew the pool herself. Every curve of the tanning ledge, every sight line from the swim-up bar, the way the infinity edge would dissolve into the tree line beyond — she envisioned it before a single engineering drawing existed. Her husband, a homebuilder by trade, had seen Selah's work on other projects in the area. He evaluated their craftsmanship the way he evaluates his own: by the details that most homeowners never notice but that define the difference between good and exceptional.
When a luxury homebuilder chooses your pool company for his own home, that speaks for itself.
What followed was a collaboration between a family that designs and builds for a living and a team that brings that same rigor to every outdoor environment they create.
“Each morning I have my cup of coffee and then I can kind of relax and clear my mind and come out here and just kind of stare at the view in the pool.”
Every design decision in this outdoor space started with intention, not convention.
The pool's geometric lines mirror the architecture of the home — clean, deliberate, and grounded in a sense of proportion that makes the entire property feel composed rather than assembled. An infinity edge along the far wall dissolves the boundary between water and sky, creating a visual depth that changes with every shift of light throughout the day.
Five LED sheer descents cascade along the raised beam wall, creating a curtain of light and sound that transforms the space after dark. By day, they're architectural. By evening, they're atmosphere.
Copper fire bowls anchor the far corners of the deck, glowing amber at dusk. Below, a sunken fire pit sits at pool level — designed so that conversation happens eye-to-eye with the water, not above it. It's the kind of detail that turns a gathering space into an intimate one.
The material palette speaks to Angie's design sensibility: marble coping throughout, a glass tile accent on the raised spa, granite countertops at the swim-up bar, and a standard ceramic tile waterline that lets the water itself carry the color. Caleb, walking the property during a guided tour, described it simply: "All luxury custom materials."
The raised spa, perched above the pool with a 360-degree overflow edge and spillway connection, looks like glass for water when still — and sounds like a waterfall when the system runs.
The pool changed how the Rodgers family starts every day. Before the backyard was built, mornings meant coffee inside. Now, coffee means the deck — staring at the water, clearing the mind, watching the light shift across the infinity edge before the day begins.
But this space does more than the morning ritual. The pickleball court and basketball area mean the whole family is outdoors — not just poolside but playing, competing, staying active together. The swim-up bar becomes the center of weekend gatherings. The sunken fire pit turns cool evenings into conversation. The tanning ledge is where a book and an afternoon disappear together.
After dark, the space transforms. The sheer descents light up along the beam wall, the fire bowls catch, and the pool surface mirrors everything glowing around it. One tap on the phone shifts the backyard from afternoon retreat to evening atmosphere — the automation handles the transition, no switches or walkabouts required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a custom pool cost in Fort Worth?
Custom gunite pools typically start around $65,000 and scale with design complexity — features like vanishing edges, outdoor kitchens, and comprehensive hardscape influence the overall investment. Every project begins with a complimentary design consultation where we discuss your vision and establish a realistic scope.
Does Fort Worth require permits for pool construction?
Yes. The City of Fort Worth requires building permits for all swimming pool construction. Our team manages the permitting process, including required setbacks, fence compliance, and electrical inspections.
Do you build complete outdoor living spaces or just pools?
We design and build complete outdoor environments — pools, custom spas, water features, outdoor kitchens, fire features, pergolas, and all surrounding hardscape. The best results come from designing these elements together from the beginning rather than adding them piecemeal later.
How does the Design First process work at Selah?
Design First means the design conversation comes before any discussion of construction. This project is a perfect example — Angie brought her own sketches to the table, and Selah's team translated her vision into an engineered reality. They didn't impose a design; they elevated one.
Every Selah engagement starts the same way: understanding how your family lives, what you envision for the space, and how your property's terrain, exposure, and architecture should inform the design. The engineering and construction planning happen after the design is right — not before, and never as an afterthought.
What kind of maintenance does a pool with this many features require?
A pool with sheer descents, fire bowls, an infinity edge spa, LED bubblers, and a saltwater system sounds complex, but the automation handles most of the daily management. This project includes a Jandy AquaLink automation system that controls the pumps, heaters, lighting, and water features from a single interface — or from your phone.
The saltwater system generates its own chlorine, which means less chemical handling than a traditional chlorine pool. Selah's sister company, Omega Pool Services, handles ongoing maintenance for clients who prefer professional care.
