Designing Outdoor Living Environments Across DFW
For over a decade, Selah Pools has been designing and building custom gunite pools across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. From intimate plunge pools in urban Dallas lots to resort-scale environments in Fort Worth's established neighborhoods, every project starts at the design table — not on a sales floor.
Based in Hurst, TX, our design-build team has completed 77+ projects across 9 DFW cities. We serve 47 communities from our central location, bringing Pinnacle Award-winning design and LiDAR-assisted engineering to each property we touch.
Design to Build
Selah is a design-build firm. That means your designer and your builder are the same team — from the first site visit through the final walkthrough. No handoffs, no translation errors, no gaps between what was designed and what gets built.

DFW Pool Questions
How much does a custom pool cost in the Dallas-Fort Worth area?
Custom pool projects across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex typically start around $65,000. Costs vary based on design complexity, property conditions, and features like spas, water features, and outdoor living elements. Properties in different parts of the metroplex have different soil profiles and access conditions, which can affect preparation costs.
We begin every project with a free on-site consultation. Your designer visits your property, understands your vision, and delivers a transparent proposal — no surprises, no hidden costs.
How long does it take to build a pool in DFW?
Most pool builds across DFW complete in 8 to 14 weeks from permit approval. The North Texas climate allows us to build year-round, though spring rain and occasional summer heat waves can shift schedules by a few days. We factor seasonal patterns into every project timeline.
Your dedicated project manager keeps you updated weekly and coordinates all subcontractors, inspections, and material deliveries. You always know exactly where your project stands.
Do I need a permit to build a pool in DFW?
Yes, every city in the DFW metroplex requires a building permit for residential pool construction. The specific requirements and inspection schedules vary by municipality — Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, and suburban cities each have their own building departments and code requirements.
Selah Pools handles the entire permitting process regardless of which city your property is in. We have working relationships with building departments across the metroplex and know the specific requirements for each jurisdiction.
What makes Selah different from other DFW pool builders?
Selah Pools is owner-operated — our principals work directly on every project with decades of combined experience in custom pool construction. You get a dedicated designer who creates an original plan for your specific property, not a template modified to fit.
Every client receives a named project manager as their single point of contact from design through completion. We maintain transparent pricing with no hidden costs, and our portfolio of over 100 completed projects across DFW speaks to the consistency and quality of our work. Many of our clients are happy to show their pools in person.
How do you ensure materials perform in North Texas weather?
North Texas conditions demand materials that can handle extreme temperature swings, intense summer sun, and occasional freeze events without compromising appearance or structural integrity. Selah selects products based on proven long-term performance rather than initial cost considerations alone. The Detillier project showcases this commitment to material durability through careful selection of hardscape elements designed to age gracefully alongside the family's evolving needs. Every product choice serves both immediate aesthetic goals and decades of reliable performance, ensuring the investment maintains its visual and structural integrity across seasons.
What should DFW clients expect from a Selah consultation?
A Selah consultation focuses on understanding your vision and lifestyle needs before discussing specific features or construction details. We approach each meeting as design professionals who recognize that outdoor living spaces require the same architectural consideration as interior renovations. During the Webb project consultation, our team evaluated spatial relationships, material preferences, and long-term family goals to develop a comprehensive design strategy. Expect thorough discussion of possibilities, honest site assessment, and clear explanation of how our design-build process transforms concepts into complete outdoor environments.
