Custom Pool Design in Arlington
Arlington sits at the crossroads of the metroplex, and its properties reflect that range — from compact lots near the entertainment district to spacious parcels in south Arlington. Selah Pools has completed 9 residential projects across Arlington, each one designed for the specific property it sits on.
Arlington clients tend toward feature-rich designs. Our completed projects include bubblers, LED lighting, raised beam walls with sheer descents, deck jets, weeping walls, and custom columns. Pool volumes range from 6,000 to over 17,000 gallons, with both geometric and freeform designs. Custom spas — from flush geometric to tiered freeform spillovers — appear on the majority of Arlington builds.
Design That Responds to Your Property
Arlington's variety of lot conditions means design flexibility matters. Our team designs around existing structures, grade changes, and mature landscaping — using LiDAR-assisted surveys to capture every dimension before the design process begins.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pools in Arlington
How much does a custom pool cost in Arlington?
Custom pool projects in Arlington typically start around $65,000 and scale with design complexity, features, and site conditions. Arlington has a diverse mix of established neighborhoods with mature landscaping and newer developments, both offering good opportunities for pool projects.
Every project starts with a free on-site consultation where we assess your property, listen to your vision, and develop a transparent proposal. We show you the full scope and investment before any commitment.
How long does it take to build a pool in Arlington?
Most pool builds in Arlington complete in 8 to 14 weeks from permit approval. The City of Arlington building department maintains an efficient inspection process, and our familiarity with their requirements keeps projects moving on schedule.
Your dedicated project manager coordinates all phases — excavation, steel, plumbing, electrical, gunite, tile, and finish — and keeps you updated weekly throughout the build.
Do I need a permit to build a pool in Arlington?
Yes, the City of Arlington requires building permits for swimming pool construction. The process includes plan review, multiple inspections during construction, and a final barrier inspection for safety compliance.
Selah Pools manages the complete permitting process. We prepare plans to Arlington code requirements, submit applications, and coordinate all inspections so you never need to interact with the building department directly.
What makes Arlington a popular city for pool construction?
Arlington sits at the geographic center of the DFW metroplex, making it one of the most accessible communities we serve. The city has a strong base of established neighborhoods with reasonable lot sizes — many homes have enough backyard space for a pool, patio, and outdoor living area without feeling cramped.
The proximity to the entertainment district and the family-oriented culture of the community mean pools get heavy use. Our Arlington clients consistently report that their pool transformed how they entertain and spend time at home.
Can I see completed Selah pools near Arlington?
We have completed multiple projects in the Arlington service area and several of our clients welcome visitors to see their pools firsthand. During your consultation, ask your designer about nearby completed projects you can visit.
Our online portfolio also features Arlington-area projects with photography showing design details, outdoor living integration, and the finished product. Seeing our work in person is the best way to evaluate quality and craftsmanship.
