Custom Pool Builder in Keller, TX Watercrest Pools

Keller's Premier Custom Pool Builder for Family-Centric Luxury

When it comes to custom pools in Keller, TX, Watercrest Pools stands as the community’s most trusted luxury pool builder. With nearly two decades of experience serving the DFW metroplex and our headquarters & Design Center just minutes away in Southlake, we specialize in creating backyard retreats that blend high-end design with the family-focused lifestyle Keller is known for.

Keller has evolved into one of the nation’s most desirable communities. From the rolling terrain of Hidden Lakes to the gated exclusivity of The Manors at Waterford, your custom pool in Keller should be a luxurious extension of your home’s beauty and value.

Why Keller Homeowners Choose Watercrest Pools

Keller is a family town first, and most of the pools we build here are designed around how a household will use the backyard over the next fifteen years, not just the first summer. A young family in Windsor Estates or Greenway Park usually wants room for the kids now and a spa and lounge zone for later. A homeowner in Oakmont Hills or Wildwood is more often updating a pool that was built for children who have since grown up.

Keller lots also vary more than people expect. Hidden Lakes is shaped by golf course grading and elevation changes, Wildwood and Oakmont Hills by mature oaks, and Samantha Springs and Harmonson Farms by wide, open homesites. We design and engineer each Keller pool for the lot it sits on, and we handle permitting with the City of Keller and review with your HOA so you are not managing either one.

Watercrest is locally owned, and our senior builders limit how many projects they run at once. The team that designs your Keller pool is the same team that builds it, and our design center is a short drive away in Southlake for material selections and design meetings.

Award Winning Pool Build in Keller, TX

This sleek, linear pool is designed to take full advantage of its open golf course views. A refined tanning ledge with a gusher fountain, paired with gas fire bowls and travertine pavers, adds atmosphere without interrupting the sightlines. The spa was thoughtfully integrated during the early stages of home construction and sits beneath the covered porch, where retractable screens allow it to be enjoyed year-round. Bar seating within the spa creates a comfortable place to relax, entertain, and catch the game.

This Keller backyard was named one of Pebble Technology’s World’s Greatest Pools in 2021. Watercrest has been recognized in the competition three times: in 2016, in 2021 for this project, and again in 2026, when The Modern Southlake Retreat and The Bartonville Estate were named two 2026 World’s Greatest Pools winners. The same senior team that built this pool leads every Keller project we take on.

The Keller Lifestyle: Building Your Ultimate Backyard Resort

Keller represents the perfect balance of small-town charm and upscale living. Whether you’re in the golf course community of Hidden Lakes, the resort-style enclave of Marshall Ridge, or the expansive lots of Wildwood, your home is your sanctuary.

Your pool isn’t just a place to swim. It’s where your kids learn to dive, where you host neighborhood barbecues, and where you unwind after a long week.

Keller's Premier Neighborhoods & Watercrest Pools

The Manors at Waterford

Exclusive, gated luxury with substantial estates. Watercrest designs sophisticated, architectural pools here that match the scale and grandeur of these homes, often incorporating formal water features, perimeter overflows, and elegant stone coping.

Oakmont Hills

This Keller neighborhood features established estates with mature trees and spacious lots. We excel at renovating or building new pools here that respect the existing landscape, weaving the pool design around heritage oaks to create a natural, established feel.

Wildwood

Known for large, wooded lots that offer a sense of seclusion. Our designs in Wildwood often feature organic, freeform shapes, rock waterfalls, and lagoon-style finishes that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings.

Greenway Park

One of Keller’s newest boutique luxury enclaves, with roughly 38 custom homes on generous half‑acre, tree‑lined lots. Our pools here favor refined geometry, quiet water features, and integrated outdoor living spaces that feel proportional to the homes. Picture sleek spas, generous tanning ledges, and entertainment patios that look out over greenbelts and the community pond.

Samantha Springs

Tucked among mature trees just minutes from Keller Parkway and Southlake Boulevard, Samantha Springs offers a secluded feel with ¾‑acre (and larger) custom homesites and a calm, estate‑style streetscape. For these wide lots, we design resort‑scale pool and spa combinations with organic edges or soft‑lined rectangles, layered landscaping, and big covered patios.

Windsor Estates

Windsor Estates is a newer North Keller community of luxury homes on roughly half‑acre lots, positioned for easy access to both Keller and Southlake amenities and top‑rated schools. Our custom pools in Windsor Estates emphasize sophisticated, family‑friendly layouts including geometric designs with raised spas, sports zones, and integrated fire and dining areas that match the neighborhood’s blend of traditional architecture and modern conveniences.

Hidden Lakes

A master-planned gem defined by the Hidden Lakes Golf Course and its rolling terrain. We specialize in designing and remodeling pools here that maximize golf course views while maintaining privacy, often using negative edges or terraced decking to complement the elevation changes.

Marshall Ridge

Known for its community amenities and active lifestyle. Homeowners here want private backyard resorts that rival any hotel. Think swim-up bars, large tanning ledges, and integrated outdoor kitchens for year-round entertaining.

Harmonson Farms

Upscale country living with open spaces. We build expansive family pools here, often incorporating features like diving rocks, slide grottos, and large spas that serve as the centerpiece for family gatherings.

Whether you’re in the heart of town near Keller Town Center or tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, Watercrest Pools has the expertise to design and build a custom pool that elevates your specific property and lifestyle.

Keller Pool Trends & Features Families Want Now

Keller homeowners want pools that look refined and still hold up to daily family use. What they ask for usually depends on where the household is in its life, so we plan for the next stage as well as this one.

For Younger Families

In newer communities like Windsor Estates and Greenway Park, the pool is usually part of a first backyard build-out. Families ask for oversized tanning ledges with bubblers, shallow social shelves where toddlers can splash, and turf sports zones for volleyball and basketball. We plan these areas so they still work as lounge space once the kids are older.

For Established Households

In Oakmont Hills, Hidden Lakes, and Marshall Ridge, the requests shift toward the parents: larger spas with hydrotherapy jets, swim-up bars tied to an outdoor kitchen, sheer descents for background sound, and fire bowls, saunas, and cold plunges that keep the backyard in use through the cooler months.

Transitional Style With Warm Materials

While ultra-modern is popular, Keller homeowners often prefer a transitional style: clean geometric shapes such as rectangles and L-shapes, softened by travertine decking, natural stone veneer, and lush landscaping. This look pairs well with the traditional brick and modern farmhouse architecture found across Keller.

Low-Maintenance Systems

Busy Keller families don’t want to spend weekends on upkeep. In-floor cleaning, salt chlorination, automated chemistry, and app-controlled lighting, heat, and water features are standard requests on new Keller builds, and they are a core part of our Keller renovation work.

The "Staycation" Backyard in North Texas

Defined by expansive tanning ledges, swim-up bars, turf accents, saunas, and fully equipped outdoor kitchens, the staycation backyard transforms everyday living into a private resort experience. Thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, it elevates the outdoor space into a seamless extension of the home.

Keller’s Unique Pool Construction Challenges and How Watercrest Solves Them

Building in Keller requires specific knowledge of local geology and infrastructure. Watercrest has mastered these challenges:

Expansive Clay Soil

Like much of North Texas, Keller sits on expansive clay soil that shifts with moisture levels.

Soil injection and stabilization to reduce soil swell potential before we pour concrete
Structurally engineered steel schedules designed specifically for your lot’s soil report
Void forms and piers (when necessary) to isolate the pool shell from shifting ground
Thicker gunite shells that exceed standard code requirements for added peace of mind

In Certain Cases, Watercrest's Approach May Include:

Comprehensive drainage plans that route water away from the pool and house
French drains and deck drains integrated seamlessly into the hardscape
Retaining walls and grading that manage runoff while adding vertical interest to the design
Erosion control measures during construction to protect your property and the street

Drainage on Mature and Sloped Lots

Drainage problems in Keller usually come from one of two places. One is elevation change on golf course and rolling lots like Hidden Lakes. The other is years of added patios, plantings, and patchwork drains on established lots in Oakmont Hills and Wildwood.

We map how water moves across the whole yard before the pool is placed, then route it away from the pool and the house with deck drains, French drains, and grading. On sloped lots, retaining walls can double as raised spa walls or terraced seating. During construction, erosion control protects your property and the street.

Pool Renovation in Keller, TX

Most Keller pool renovations start with the same issue: “the kids who our pool was built for are in high school now.”

That is the driver of most Keller pool renovations. Keller’s established neighborhoods, Oakmont Hills, Wildwood, Harmonson Farms, and the earlier sections of Hidden Lakes, are full of pools designed around toddlers and elementary-age swimmers. Fifteen years later the household needs something different, and the pool has not changed. Meanwhile the shell has been sitting on Keller’s expansive clay through two decades of wet-dry cycles, and the decking usually shows it before the pool does.

Watercrest’s luxury pool renovation work in Keller is built around that lifecycle shift.

The Keller Renovation Scope

Removing the features that aged out. Diving boards, slide grottos sized for small children, and shallow play zones that now just take up usable water.

Adding the features that replaced them. Oversized spas that seat eight to ten, submerged social shelves, swim-up bars, and defined lounge zones for parents who want the backyard back.

Resurfacing and retiling. Moving from original white plaster and light blue tile to darker pebble finishes and warm travertine or natural stone veneer, which is the palette Keller’s transitional and modern-farmhouse architecture actually calls for.

Low-maintenance conversion. In-floor cleaning, salt systems, automated chemical management, and variable-speed pumps, so a busy family isn’t spending weekends on upkeep.

Structural and drainage correction. On mature lots with heritage oaks, we address root intrusion, deck heave, and the drainage patchwork that has usually accumulated over twenty years.

Golf-Course and Wooded Lots

Hidden Lakes renovations frequently center on the view. Landscaping planted at the original build has matured into a screen, and reopening the golf-course sightline through terraced decking or a raised spa changes the property more than any finish upgrade would. In Wildwood’s heavily wooded lots, the opposite is true: the renovation goal is usually to soften an aging rock-waterfall design into something quieter and easier to maintain.

Our design center is minutes away in Southlake, and we work Keller and Colleyville as one contiguous market.
