5 Things to Know Before You Break Ground on a North Texas Pool

1. The Permit Timeline

In Collin County, permitting can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks depending on the city. We recommend starting your design phase in the fall or winter to ensure you’re swimming by the first 90-degree day in May.

2. Understanding "The Big Dig"

Building a pool is a major construction project. For about 7–10 days, your backyard will look like a moonscape. We pride ourselves on clean jobsites and clear communication so you know exactly what to expect during excavation.

3. The Power of Automation

Gone are the days of manual chlorine testing every hour. Modern Saltwater Systems and automated chemical feeders do the heavy lifting for you.

4. Safety First

Texas law and local ordinances (especially in Dallas and Frisco) are strict about pool fences and door alarms. We help you design a safety plan that looks beautiful and keeps your family protected.

5. It’s All About the Builder

Don't just look at the price tag; look at the structural warranty. At Square One Pools, we don't just build pools; we build legacies.
