Custom Pool Construction in Dallas-Fort Worth
Inground gunite pools designed and built for the Texas lifestyle.
Lucent Pools is a custom pool builder serving the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, from Frisco and Plano to McKinney, Southlake, and Colleyville. We design and build inground gunite pools from concept to completion, blending engineering-grade construction with resort-style design. Every pool we build is one-of-a-kind, shaped around your backyard, your architecture, and the way your family wants to live outdoors.
A pool built around your backyard, not a template
We don't just build pools; we build destinations. Our new pool construction process begins with a free on-site consultation where we study your lot, drainage, sun exposure, and how you plan to use the space. From there our designers produce a photorealistic 3D rendering so you can walk through your pool before a single shovel hits the ground. Using premium materials, advanced equipment, and meticulous craftsmanship, we build gunite pools that stand the test of the Texas climate and elevate your property value.
Built for the North Texas climate and soil
Dallas-Fort Worth sits on expansive clay soil that moves with the seasons, and our summers are relentless. We design every pool with these exact conditions in mind: steel-reinforced gunite shells, proper structural footings, and equipment sized to keep water crystal clear through 100-degree Julys. When a project calls for it, we bring in a licensed structural engineer for a stamped design. The result is a pool that stays beautiful and structurally sound for decades.
What goes into a Lucent pool
Every build includes custom 3D design, premium finish selection (pebble, quartz, or polished aggregate), energy-efficient variable-speed pumps, LED color lighting, and your choice of saltwater or traditional chlorination. We can integrate spas, tanning ledges, water features, and full smart-home automation so you can control your pool from your phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new inground pool cost in Dallas-Fort Worth?
Most custom gunite pools in the DFW area range from roughly $60,000 for a clean mid-range build to $150,000+ for resort-style projects with spas, water features, and full outdoor living. Your final investment depends on size, finishes, and features. We provide a detailed, transparent quote during your free consultation.
How long does it take to build a custom pool?
From design approval and permitting to your first swim, most custom pools take about 8 to 12 weeks depending on complexity, weather, and inspection schedules in your city.
Do you build gunite or fiberglass pools?
We specialize in gunite pools because they can be built in any shape or size and are ideal for the North Texas climate, custom water features, and long-term durability. Gunite and shotcrete are related sprayed-concrete methods, but they are not the same; we build with gunite, not shotcrete.
Which areas do you serve?
We build throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, Celina, Southlake, Colleyville, Keller, and surrounding communities.
