Serving Melissa
Melissa Pool Builder — Design-Build Expertise for Collin County's Growth Corridor
Melissa is one of Collin County's fastest-growing communities, anchored along the US-75 corridor north of McKinney. New subdivisions are transforming the landscape into vibrant residential neighborhoods — and homeowners are investing in outdoor living environments that match the scale and ambition of their new homes. This is where Selah Pools excels: designing complete outdoor environments for families who understand that a well-designed pool transforms not just a property, but daily life.
Selah Pools brings design-build expertise to Melissa and the surrounding communities of Anna, Princeton, McKinney, and Celina. Every project begins with a collaborative design process — LiDAR property scanning, 3D rendering, and iterative refinement — before a single shovel touches dirt. Our custom gunite pools are engineered for Collin County's black clay soils and expansive terrain, built to perform across decades of North Texas seasons.
From geometric pools with clean architectural lines to freeform environments with spas, fire features, and outdoor kitchens, the design starts with understanding how your family lives. Melissa's generous lot sizes and new construction homesites create opportunities for complete outdoor environments that many established DFW neighborhoods simply cannot accommodate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pools in Melissa
How long does a new pool take to build in Melissa?
A typical custom gunite pool in Melissa takes 12 to 16 weeks from groundbreaking to completion, depending on design complexity and weather. Projects with outdoor kitchens, fire features, or extensive hardscaping may extend the timeline. We provide a detailed construction schedule during the design phase so you know what to expect at every stage.
What soil conditions affect pool construction in Collin County?
Collin County's black clay soils are highly expansive — they swell significantly when wet and shrink when dry. This movement can stress pool shells that aren't properly engineered. Every Selah pool is built on a structural foundation designed for your specific site conditions, with steel reinforcement and gunite thickness calibrated to handle the soil dynamics common throughout Melissa and the 380 Corridor.
Does Selah Pools handle HOA approval and permitting in Melissa?
Yes. We manage the complete permitting process with the City of Melissa and coordinate HOA architectural review submissions for communities that require them. Many of Melissa's newer subdivisions have specific setback, fencing, and design guidelines — we build these requirements into the design from the start, not as afterthoughts.
What types of pools are most popular in new Melissa developments?
Melissa homeowners tend toward geometric and contemporary designs that complement the architectural lines of newer construction. The most common features include custom spas, LED lighting systems, and tanning ledges. Generous lot sizes in many Melissa subdivisions also allow for complete outdoor environments — pools integrated with outdoor kitchens, fire features, and covered living areas.
Does Selah Pools serve areas near Melissa?
Yes. We serve Melissa and the surrounding Collin County communities including Anna, Princeton, McKinney, Celina, and Prosper. Our design-build studio is centrally located to serve the entire northern DFW growth corridor, with active projects throughout the region.
