Fort Worth Pool Builder

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.

Most Fort Worth projects complete in 8 to 14 weeks from permit approval. Timeline depends on design complexity, weather, and any structural elements like retaining walls or outdoor kitchens. We provide a detailed schedule before construction begins.

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.

Absolutely. Tarrant County clay is expansive — it shifts with moisture. Every Selah pool is engineered for these conditions with appropriate steel reinforcement, proper drainage, and gunite construction designed to move with the soil rather than crack against it.

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.

Yes, the City of Fort Worth Development Services Department requires permits for all swimming pool construction. The permit covers structural, electrical, plumbing, and fence barrier inspections. Fort Worth also requires a fence barrier inspection to verify compliance with pool safety requirements.

Selah Pools handles the complete permitting process with the City of Fort Worth. We submit plans, schedule inspections, and resolve any review comments. Our team knows the Fort Worth code requirements and builds them into every design from the start.

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.

Fort Worth sits across several distinct soil zones. Western and northern Fort Worth tend toward heavy clay soils that expand and contract with moisture changes. Southern Fort Worth and the Crowley/Burleson corridor feature more sandy loam. Each soil type requires different structural engineering approaches for the pool shell.

Our team assesses soil conditions during the initial site visit and factors them into the structural design. We have completed projects across every part of Fort Worth and understand how local conditions affect excavation, drainage, and long-term pool performance.

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.

Our Fort Worth portfolio spans the city. We have completed projects in established neighborhoods like Ridglea, Arlington Heights, and Tanglewood, as well as newer developments like Walsh Ranch, Clearfork, and Ventana. Our team is equally comfortable working with compact urban lots and expansive suburban properties.

With 22 published projects in the Fort Worth service area alone, we understand the design preferences, soil conditions, and permitting requirements specific to different parts of the city. Ask to see completed pools near your neighborhood during your consultation.
