Serving Dallas· Dallas spans from the urban core of Uptown and Park Cities through established neighborhoods like Preston Hollow to newer developments in far North Dallas. Property sizes and architectural styles vary widely, requiring adaptable pool designs.
Custom Pool Design for Dallas Properties
Dallas demands design ambition. Selah Pools has completed 10 residential projects across Dallas — from established Park Cities lots to modern new construction throughout the city. Dallas projects tend to push the design envelope further: infinity-edge spas, in-pool bars with custom bar tops, reverse negative edges, LED deck jets, and pools ranging from intimate 4,000-gallon designs to resort-scale 33,000-gallon environments.
Dallas is also where Selah serves commercial clients — community amenity pools and commercial plunge facilities that require code compliance, ADA integration, and commercial-grade engineering. The same design-first approach applies: we design the environment before we plan the construction.
Design Ambition, Built to Last
Dallas properties often present interesting design challenges — tight urban lots, existing structures to work around, grade changes, and neighborhood context that demands a specific aesthetic. Our LiDAR-assisted design process captures these conditions precisely, and our designers create solutions that turn constraints into design opportunities.
Why Clients Choose Selah Pools
Design First
Dallas properties demand design creativity. LiDAR-assisted surveys, 3D renderings, and a collaborative process that works with your lot — whether it's a compact Park Cities property or an expansive North Dallas estate.
Premium Design Features
Dallas clients design the most ambitious pools in our portfolio — infinity-edge spas, in-pool bars, LED deck jets, reverse negative edges, and custom water walls. Our designers integrate these elements into environments that feel intentional, not ornamental.
Residential & Commercial
Beyond residential design, we serve Dallas commercial clients with community amenity pools and plunge facilities — ADA compliant, code-engineered, and designed to the same standard as our residential work.
Award-Winning Craftsmanship
Pinnacle Award "Best of the Best" winner and featured in Luxury Pools magazine. 7 five-star reviews from Dallas clients who chose design-build over commodity construction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pools in Dallas
What makes this pool design ideal for work-from-home life?
The Feinstein project demonstrates how pool design can address modern lifestyle needs. The tanning ledge provides a gentle transition from work mode to relaxation, while the integrated spa cutout offers therapeutic benefits after long desk hours.
Bubblers add soothing sound that creates mental separation between office and leisure time. The IQ-904-P automation system ensures the pool is always ready when the workday ends, managing filtration and cleaning cycles without manual intervention.
This 6,693-gallon University Park installation shows how thoughtful design supports work-life balance for remote professionals who want to step outside and immediately decompress.
How much does a custom pool cost in Dallas?
Custom pool projects in Dallas typically start around $65,000 and scale with design complexity and site conditions. Dallas properties vary widely — from compact lots in Highland Park and University Park to larger suburban properties in North Dallas and Far North Dallas. Access conditions, soil type, and existing landscaping all factor into the final investment.
We begin every Dallas project with an on-site consultation to assess your specific property. Urban lots may require specialized equipment access planning, while suburban properties often allow for more expansive designs.
Can you integrate a custom spa directly into the pool design?
The spa cutout in the Feinstein pool creates seamless integration between spa and main pool areas. This approach eliminates the visual break of separate vessels while maintaining distinct zones.
The shared filtration system through the CV460 filter and 2.7HP Epump serves both areas efficiently, and the IQ-904-P automation controller manages temperature and cycles for the entire system.
This integration method works particularly well in University Park outdoor living spaces where every square foot matters. The result is one continuous water feature that feels larger and more refined than separate pool and custom spa installations would allow.
How long does it take to build a pool in Dallas?
Most Dallas pool builds complete in 8 to 14 weeks from permit approval. Projects on more compact or urban lots — common in parts of Dallas — may require additional logistical planning for equipment access, material staging, and neighbor coordination, which we build into the schedule from the start.
The City of Dallas building department has specific requirements for pool construction. Our team manages all permits, inspections, and code compliance so you can focus on watching your project come together.
How does travertine decking perform in Dallas heat?
The Feinstein pool showcases travertine's heat-resistance properties essential for Texas pools. Unlike concrete or dark stone, travertine's natural porosity and light color prevent surface temperatures that burn bare feet during summer months.
The material's slip-resistant texture provides safety around wet areas. Paired with turf accents, the decking creates visual variety while keeping the entire surface comfortable.
Travertine also complements the upgraded plaster finish and standard 6x6 ceramic tile, creating a cohesive aesthetic. For University Park's neighborhood standards, this natural stone elevates the entire outdoor living space while delivering practical performance through brutal Dallas summers.
