The Keller pool builder for backyards that actually get used.
Platinum Pools is the boutique Keller pool builder for families who waited years for this — and now want a pool the kids will swim in every weekend, the teenagers will host friends in, and the family will gather around for the next twenty summers. Built to be lived in, not just looked at.
Pools designed around the way your family actually lives.
Keller homeowners aren’t usually building a pool to impress the neighbors. They’re building one because their kids are eight, eleven, and fifteen — and the next ten summers are going to fly.
Most of our Keller clients share a similar story. Two working parents. Active kids. A house in a great neighborhood near a top-rated KISD school. The yard is big, the bones are good, and they’ve been talking about a pool for three or four years. What they want isn’t a magazine cover — it’s a backyard that actually gets used. A pool the seven-year-old can swim in safely. A spot the teenager wants to bring friends to. A place the whole family ends up on a Saturday night without anyone planning it. As your Keller pool builder, that’s exactly the brief we design around.
We’ve built across Hidden Lakes, Estates of Oakmont Hills, Hunter’s Glen, Bloomfield, Marshall Ridge, and the established neighborhoods along Bear Creek Parkway and Rufe Snow. We know which Keller HOAs require detailed architectural review, which lots have caliche layers under the topsoil, and which neighborhoods are full of families who’ll absolutely use a pool every weekend. Adrian, our founder, walks every Keller property himself, designs every pool personally, and stays the single point of contact through completion. We bring the same approach to our work in Grapevine, Colleyville, Southlake, Westlake, and Trophy Club — but Keller is its own market, and it deserves its own conversation.

What we build as your Keller pool builder.
Family Pool Design & Build
Pools designed for how your family actually uses water — generous shallow areas, built-in seating for the adults, sun ledges for toddlers, depth for diving, integrated spas for the parents. The whole family in one yard, every age group taken care of.
- 3D Photorealistic Renderings
- Pebble & Plaster Finishes
- Smart Pool Automation
- Lifetime Structural Warranty
Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor kitchens, covered pavilions, fire features, and pergolas designed for the kind of weekend gatherings Keller families actually host — birthday parties, end-of-school cookouts, Friday night football crowds. Built for use, not just for show.
- Outdoor Kitchens & Bars
- Pergolas & Covered Pavilions
- Fire Pits & Fireplaces
- Smart Lighting & Audio
Renovation & Hardscape
Travertine and natural stone decking, pool resurfacing, equipment modernization, and full pool remodels. Bring an aging Keller pool back to life — or refresh the backyard your family has outgrown into something that fits the next decade.
- Travertine & Natural Stone Decking
- Pool Resurfacing & Retiling
- Equipment Modernization
- Water Feature Additions
Architectural Steel Features
When a Keller backyard project calls for a serious covered pavilion — a real shade structure for the kids’ birthday parties, a substantial outdoor kitchen pavilion, or a modern architectural canopy — we engineer and fabricate the steel in-house. Most Keller pool builders subcontract this out. We don’t.
- Cantilevered Roof Structures
- Floating Fire Walls
- Architectural Pavilion Canopies
- Engineered & Fabricated In-House
A clear process — built around your family.
From the first walk-through to the day everyone jumps in for the first time, you’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and what it costs. No surprises. No subcontracted decisions.
Consultation & Site Walk
Adrian visits your Keller property in person, evenings welcome. We talk about how your family actually uses the backyard, what ages your kids are now, where you entertain, and what you’re hoping the next ten summers look like. Before any design, we listen.
Design & Itemized Proposal
You receive 3D photorealistic renderings, hand-selected material samples, and a fully itemized proposal. Every line is broken out — equipment, finishes, decking, gas, electrical. No markup hidden in vague “allowances.” You see exactly what you’re investing in.
Permits, HOA & Build
We manage all City of Keller permits and HOA architectural reviews on your behalf. Once approved, our in-house crews break ground with weekly photo updates and direct access to Adrian throughout.
Reveal & Long-Term Care
On reveal day we walk you through every system, train you on equipment, and hand you a documented binder. Then we stay reachable. Most of our Keller work comes from past-client referrals — neighbors, friends, families recommending us at the school pickup line.

“First off Adrian, the owner, is a great guy. The flexibility he offers during the build process to make changes on the fly is great. And Daniel, his main masonry guy, does fantastic work! He actually cares about the quality of the work and ensures your happiness with the final product. I would definitely recommend Platinum Pools for your next outdoor project!”
What Keller families ask us most.
What does a custom pool cost in Keller?
Most custom pool builds in Keller fall between $80,000 and $200,000+, with the typical family build landing in the $110,000–$160,000 range once outdoor living elements are included. Lot size, finish materials, water features, and integrated outdoor spaces drive the variation. We provide a fully itemized written proposal after an in-person walk — never a number from a calculator.
How long does a Keller pool build take?
Plan on 12–18 weeks for a new build, depending on scope, weather, and HOA approval timelines. Renovations typically run 4–8 weeks. Most Keller families try to time their build for spring completion so the kids can use the pool all summer — we plan accordingly.
What features matter most for a family pool?
The fundamentals: a generous shallow end with a sun ledge for toddlers, depth for diving, built-in seating where adults can talk, and an integrated spa for the parents at the end of the day. Smart automation keeps maintenance manageable. Strong lighting matters for evening swims. Safety covers and fencing get planned in from day one. We design every Keller family pool around how it’ll actually be used — not how it photographs.
Do you handle Keller permits and HOA approvals?
Yes, completely. We submit, track, and manage all City of Keller permitting and coordinate directly with HOA architectural review committees across Hidden Lakes, Marshall Ridge, Hunter’s Glen, and other Keller neighborhoods. Local familiarity makes the approval process faster.
How does Keller’s soil affect pool construction?
Keller sits on a mix of expansive clay and caliche layers that can vary significantly even within the same neighborhood. Standard structural specs aren’t always enough. We engineer every Keller pool with reinforced shells designed for the specific soil at your lot, then back the structure with our lifetime warranty.
Are you actually a local Keller pool builder?
Yes. Our shop is in Grapevine, just minutes from Keller, and Adrian lives in the area. Keller has been one of our core markets since 2004 — we’re not a regional contractor expanding into the city, we’re a Keller pool builder who’s been building here for two decades.
What does “boutique” actually mean in practice?
We cap our work at 8–10 projects per year by choice. Most pool builders in DFW run 30, 50, or 100+ builds annually — which mathematically requires project managers, rotating subcontractor crews, and clients who never speak directly with the owner. We turn down work to keep the standard high.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We work with lenders who specialize in pool and outdoor living financing and can introduce you during your consultation. We don’t push financing — we just make it available if it makes the timing work better for you and your family.
What warranty comes with a Platinum pool?
A lifetime structural warranty on the pool shell — fully transferable to the next owner if you sell your Keller home. All equipment carries its respective manufacturer warranties, which we register and document for you in your handover binder.
Engineered structural steel, fabricated in-house.
When a Keller backyard build calls for something serious — a real covered pavilion for the kids’ parties, a substantial outdoor kitchen, a modern architectural canopy that doesn’t look like a kit — we don’t subcontract it out. Our own shop designs and fabricates the structural steel: cantilevered roof structures, floating fire walls, architectural pavilion canopies.
Most Keller pool builders dig the hole. We engineer the architecture around it.
Your Keller backyard, built for the next ten summers.
