What should I know about building a pool in Dripping Springs?
Dripping Springs is in Hays County, ZIP code 78620. Dripping Springs acreage often comes with long views and rock close to the surface. Limestone often sits close to the surface here. Rock gives a pool a solid base, but it has to be cut rather than dug, so the excavation plan, equipment and schedule are set for it from the start. Gently sloping yards give room to play with levels, such as a raised spa, a sheer descent from a raised wall, or a deck that steps down to the lawn. Most pools here need a permit from the city or Hays County, and many neighborhoods also need HOA approval, both handled as part of the project. A pool usually takes around 12 to 16 weeks to build after the permit, and Westbank Pools has built across Central Texas for more than 25 years.

“Audra and the Westbank team are A+. They built our new pool and spa which we are very happy with, and their attention to detail/reliability for follow-ups have been extremely positive. Would highly recommend.”
“Pool school?! Who ever thought you needed to know how to utilize pool equipment when you move into a home you’ve purchased? We found the builders and they agreed to show us all the ins and out of the custom pool they built. How to manage the robot cleaner down to turning on the lights all through an app on the phone. Westbank Pools taught us everything needed to enjoy our new pool. That’s serious customer service.”
