Five services. One owner. Every project, every detail.
Platinum Pools is the boutique custom pool builder Colleyville, Grapevine, Southlake homeowners hire when they want one accountable owner from first call to final walk-through. Serving the DFW area since 2004. We design and build five interconnected services — custom swimming pools, pool renovation, outdoor living, hardscape, and architectural water features — all under one owner, with one process, in one consistent finish-level standard. Eight to ten projects a year. Owner-led from first call to final walk-through.
One builder, one standard, five interconnected services.
Most DFW pool builders quote you a pool, then hand the rest of your backyard to subcontractors. We don’t. The pool, the renovation, the hardscape, the outdoor kitchen, the water feature — same team, same drawings, same finish-level standard, same person you’ll be calling in ten years.
The pool industry is set up to be cheap and fast. Volume builders run dozens of jobs at once, hand each one to a project manager you’ll meet twice, and price the pool low while marking up the upgrades. The construction reflects it. The hardscape doesn’t match the pool. The outdoor kitchen drains into the deck. The water feature was an afterthought added with exposed plumbing. Six years later something fails and the builder is hard to reach.
We chose a different model. Eight to ten projects per year, capped on purpose. Adrian walks every site personally — first consultation through final walk-through. Our in-house masonry team builds the pools, the hardscape, the outdoor kitchens, and the substructure beneath the water features. Our in-house steel fabrication shop builds the cantilevered roofs, floating fire walls, and architectural water feature armatures most DFW pool builders can’t fabricate. The five services on this page aren’t five separate divisions. They’re five capabilities of one boutique team.
This approach costs more upfront and rules out clients shopping on price. The clients who hire us are typically architectural homeowners, design-driven buyers, and past clients on their second or third project — the ones who already learned what happens when you hire the cheapest bid. We’re the builder you call when you’d rather build it once than build it twice.
We serve Grapevine, Southlake, Colleyville, Keller, Westlake, the Park Cities, Frisco, Flower Mound, and the surrounding luxury markets across DFW.
Five services from your custom pool builder in Colleyville, Grapevine & Southlake.
Each service below is a deep capability we run in-house — not a category we subcontract. Click through to the dedicated page for any service to see scope, materials, process, pricing context, and frequently asked questions. Many of our clients hire us for two or three of these services on the same property.
Custom In-Ground Swimming Pools
Custom-designed, engineered, and built in-ground swimming pools for DFW homes. Gunite construction with specified plaster, glass tile, or pebble interiors. Vanishing edges, raised spas with spillover, fire-rim spas, and tanning ledges integrated from day one rather than added on. Engineered for North Texas expansive clay soil with proper structural design, not the same shell every builder pours.

Pool Renovation & Remodeling
Full and partial pool renovations for DFW homes with existing pools that need to be brought up to current standards. Replaster, repipe, recoping, new tile, deck resurfacing, and full equipment upgrades. Plus structural updates — raising or rebuilding shells, adding spillover spas to existing pools, retrofitting water features. We tell you honestly whether your pool is worth renovating or whether the right answer is a rebuild.

Outdoor Living & Pavilions
Full outdoor living installations — covered pavilions, cedar pergolas, custom-fabricated steel canopies, outdoor kitchens, outdoor fireplaces, and complete backyard environments designed as extensions of the home’s architecture. Built with proper gas, plumbing, electrical, and ventilation — not lifestyle furniture sitting on a concrete pad.

Custom Hardscape
Pool decks, patios, walkways, retaining walls, seating walls, planters, and full backyard hardscape installations. Sandblasted natural stone, large-format porcelain tile, travertine, and Belgard pavers — specified for performance, not just appearance. Engineered base prep that survives North Texas expansive clay soil rather than failing within five years like most paver installs.

Architectural Water Features
Where most DFW pool builders subcontract, we build — and it’s the work we’re known for. Authentic M|R Walls by Mario Romano installation. Custom sculpted water walls. Sphere and bowl sculptures. Fire-and-water combinations. All engineered with in-house structural steel fabrication that most DFW competitors can’t match, so the water feature reads as part of the architecture rather than an accessory bolted onto it.

Whether you’re hiring us for a $50,000 patio renovation or a $500,000 full backyard build with pool, hardscape, kitchen, and water feature — the process is identical. Adrian leads every consultation personally.
Private Consultation
Adrian visits your property in person — at your convenience, including evenings. We walk the site, talk through how you actually use the backyard, and review any architectural plans, designer drawings, or reference images you’ve already developed.
Design & Itemized Proposal
You receive a fully itemized written proposal with material samples, design renderings where they add value, and every line broken out — pool, hardscape, kitchen, water feature, electrical, gas, finishes. No vague “allowances,” no markup hiding inside catch-all categories.
Permits, HOA & Build
We manage all city permitting and HOA architectural review on your behalf. Once approved, our in-house team breaks ground with weekly photo updates and direct access to Adrian throughout. Most projects run 12–22 weeks depending on scope.
Reveal & Long-Term Care
On completion we walk you through every system, address any final punch items, and hand off documented care instructions for everything we built. Then we stay reachable — most of our annual work comes from past-client referrals across the DFW area.
“I have been involved in over 30 projects with Platinum Pools and look forward to many more. By far the best value and quality pool builder in DFW! Adrian, the owner, always delivers on every project. His attention to detail and quality is superb. Highly recommend.”
What DFW homeowners ask about our services.
Do I have to hire you for all five services at once?
No. Plenty of our clients hire us for one service — a pool only, a renovation only, an outdoor kitchen only, a single water feature. The advantage of working with us across multiple services is consistency in design, materials, and finish standards — but there’s no requirement. Pick the scope that makes sense for your project and budget.
What’s the price range across your custom pool services in DFW?
Project totals vary widely. Renovations typically run $20,000 to $150,000+. New custom pool builds typically start at $150,000 and run well above $500,000 for architectural builds. Standalone outdoor kitchens with pergolas run $40,000 to $150,000+. Full backyard installations — pool plus hardscape plus outdoor living plus water feature — typically fall between $300,000 and $1,500,000+ depending on scope and materials. Every proposal is fully itemized after an in-person walk.
How long does a full backyard project take?
Most single-service projects run 4–14 weeks. Multi-service projects — pool plus hardscape plus outdoor living plus water feature — run 16–28 weeks from contract to final walk. Architectural water features and M|R Walls installations can extend timelines due to fabrication lead times. We give you a real schedule before you sign, not optimistic estimates.
Do you work with architects, interior designers, and landscape architects?
Yes — and frequently. Most of our higher-end projects involve coordination with one or more design professionals already engaged on the home. We integrate into that team rather than fighting for control of it. We respect existing drawings, attend design meetings, and bring our engineering and fabrication capabilities to whatever direction the design is heading.
What areas in DFW do you serve?
Grapevine, Southlake, Colleyville, Keller, Westlake, Trophy Club, the Park Cities (Highland Park, University Park), Frisco, Flower Mound, and the surrounding luxury markets across the DFW area. Adrian is based in Grapevine and we focus on neighborhoods where the projects justify the kind of work we do — typically architectural homes, custom residential, and discriminating remodel clients.
How is owner-led different from what most pool builders offer?
Most pool builders assign you a project manager who is one of dozens managing simultaneous jobs across hundreds of active builds. Decisions get made by people you’ve never met. Communication routes through layers of staff. With us, Adrian is the single point of contact from first consultation through final walk-through. You have his cell. He’s on your site personally during critical phases. Eight to ten projects per year is how we can deliver this — and why we cap intentionally.
What makes your structural steel fabrication capability matter?
Most DFW pool builders outsource any structural steel work. We fabricate ours in-house — cantilevered roofs, floating fire walls, custom water feature armatures, steel-framed pergolas, and architectural canopies. That capability is rare among DFW pool builders, and it’s why we can take on architectural projects other custom builders refer out or decline. It’s also why our work integrates so cleanly — the steel is engineered to the same tolerances as the rest of the construction.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We work with several financing partners to make custom pool projects accessible at a range of project sizes. Learn more about financing options here, or ask Adrian directly during your consultation.
One conversation. One builder. One result that lasts.
Schedule a free, no-pressure consultation. We’ll walk your property, talk through what’s possible at your scale, and let you decide what makes sense. No high-pressure sales — just an honest conversation with the owner who’ll be running your project.
