What should I know about building a pool in Killeen?
Killeen is in Bell County, ZIP codes 76540, 76541, 76542, 76543, 76549. Many Killeen homes sit on roomy suburban lots with space for a pool, a patio and a lawn for the kids. Ground here can change from limestone to clay within a few miles, so no two backyards are engineered the same way. A soil report tells us exactly what your pool will sit on before the design is final. 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 Bell 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.”
