Ellis County’s Award-Winning Custom Pool & Outdoor Living Specialist — Third-Generation Builder, 5.0★ Google Rated, Local Office on US-287
Plano is one of the most established affluent suburbs in the Dallas metro — and the pool market here reflects that. The Legacy corridor, West Plano neighborhoods along the Tollway, and the SH-121 belt are all seeing serious backyard investment from homeowners who want more than a basic contractor. Collin County families expect craftsmanship, communication, and a builder who actually delivers.
Our Plano office at 4568 State Hwy 121 is our DFW headquarters — not a satellite address. This is where our design team works, where consultations happen, and where your project manager is based. You’re not dealing with a crew dispatched from somewhere else. We’re local, we know Collin County permit timelines, and we understand what Plano homeowners expect when they’re investing six figures in a backyard.
We’re a third-generation pool building family with 80+ years of legacy and 90+ combined years of experience across our team. We’ve been recognized as a Top 50 Builder in the nation by Pool and Spa News and won the 2025 Pool and Hot Tub Alliance International Awards of Excellence. When Plano homeowners call us, they’re not calling a new company trying to break into Collin County — they’re calling one with the credentials to build any backyard they can imagine, at any budget level.

Plano properties span the spectrum — large estate lots in West Plano, mid-size established yards in Central Plano, and townhome communities near Legacy. We design around your actual yard, not a template. We design from scratch using detailed 3D renderings so you see exactly what you’re getting before we break ground.
Our pool series runs from the Designer level at $60K–$80K all the way through Estate builds at $200K+. Every single one is custom — no cookie-cutter layouts, no off-the-shelf designs. We work around your yard, your lifestyle, and your budget.
A fully custom pool at an accessible price point. No templates, no off-the-shelf layouts — designed for your yard and your Collin County lot.
Resort-style pools with water features, spa, premium finishes, and outdoor living integration.
Award-winning builds with custom hydraulics, architectural water features, and full resort environments.
The best pools we build in Plano don’t stop at the water’s edge. Ellis County homeowners have the space for a full outdoor living environment — and that’s exactly what we design. Covered patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, lighting, turf — it all gets planned alongside the pool so everything integrates as one cohesive backyard.
We handle design and construction on all outdoor living elements in-house. You don’t coordinate a separate contractor for the pergola and another for the kitchen — it’s one team, one timeline, one project manager on your Plano build.
Built-in grills, refrigeration, countertops, sink runs — everything a real kitchen needs, designed for year-round Texas outdoor cooking.
Custom pergolas, pavilions, and covered patios that tie architecturally to your home and give your backyard all-day usability in Texas heat.
Fire bowls, linear fire features, and fire pits designed as intentional elements that extend your backyard season into fall and winter.
Pavers, decking, retaining walls, planting beds, and stone work that frames the pool and makes the whole backyard feel finished.
Premium artificial turf around pool areas, putting greens, and play zones — low maintenance, always green, drains properly around water.
Landscape lighting, LED pool lighting, string lights, and outdoor audio systems that make your backyard usable and beautiful after dark.
Before
After
A lot of Plano properties — especially homes in Central and East Plano built in the 1990s and early 2000s — have pools that are now 20 to 30 years old. They still function, but they look and feel dated. We do complete renovations: resurface, retile, replaster, add water features, upgrade equipment, and modernize the whole package.
We also handle pool additions — adding a spa to an existing pool, extending a deck, or adding a tanning ledge. If your pool needs more than maintenance but doesn’t need to be replaced, renovation is almost always the better investment.
Plano is one of the most commercially active suburbs in DFW. New mixed-use developments, Class-A apartment complexes, and corporate campus amenity pools are all going up across Collin County — and they need a commercial pool builder with the project management capability to deliver on time and on spec. Venture Custom Pools serves commercial clients throughout the DFW metro with the licensing, experience, and crew capacity for large commercial builds — with our headquarters already in Plano.
We handle full commercial design and construction — not just residential work scaled up. Code compliance, commercial-rated equipment, ADA accessibility requirements, and municipal inspection coordination are all managed in-house by our commercial team.

Building a custom pool in Plano comes with its own set of considerations. Collin County’s expansive clay soils require proper engineering on the pool shell — this is non-negotiable and something budget contractors often cut corners on. HOA design guidelines are common in Plano’s master-planned communities, and setback requirements vary by neighborhood. We’ve built throughout Plano long enough to know what to expect before we ever pull a permit.
Permits for new pool construction in Plano go through the City of Plano Building Inspections department. Plano is generally efficient on residential pool permits, though timelines vary by season — summer backlogs are real. We handle all permit applications, plan submissions, and inspection scheduling so you never have to interface with the building department directly.
How long does it take to build a custom pool in Plano? From signed contract to first swim, most Venture Custom Pools builds in the Plano area run 8–16 weeks depending on design complexity, scope, and permit timing. Our construction managers are known for aggressive scheduling that keeps projects moving — several Plano clients have been swimming in 4–6 weeks after groundbreaking when conditions allow. Plano’s DFW location also means our crew logistics are optimized for this market.
Our Plano headquarters on Hwy 121 is our main DFW base of operations. For Plano builds, there’s no commute overhead — we’re already here. That means faster site visits, quicker problem resolution, and a construction manager who can swing by your Plano property on short notice.
A clear, communicative build process — from the first conversation at our Plano headquarters to the day you take your first swim.
We come to your Plano property — or you come to our Hwy 121 headquarters — and spend real time understanding your vision, your lot, and your budget. No canned presentations, just a real conversation.
Our designers produce a 3D virtual rendering of your pool and outdoor living space so you can see exactly what you’re getting before a single shovel hits the ground. Plano clients love this step — it removes all the guesswork.
We handle the City of Plano Building Inspections permit process and Collin County documentation. Plano HOA design guideline compliance is handled by our design team before any permit is pulled.
Your dedicated construction manager keeps your Plano build on schedule and communicates proactively at every stage. No chasing someone down for updates — they come to you.
Every Venture pool passes our internal quality inspection before we ever call for city sign-off. We hold our work to a higher standard than the inspector’s checklist.
We walk you through every system, explain operation and maintenance, and hand over a pool that’s ready to enjoy. Post-construction support is standard — we don’t disappear after the check clears.

Yes. Our Plano headquarters is at 4568 State Hwy 121, Plano, TX 75024. This is our main DFW office — not a sales front. Our design team, project managers, and construction coordinators work out of this location. Call us directly at (972) 377-9002.
Custom pool pricing in Plano starts around $60,000 for our Designer Pool Series and scales through our Luxury Series ($80K–$200K) and Estate Series ($200K+) depending on size, features, and outdoor living scope. Plano homeowners in West Plano and the Legacy corridor frequently invest in the Luxury and Estate tiers given the property values in those neighborhoods. We provide free, detailed written estimates — call (972) 377-9002 to get started.
City of Plano Building Inspections permit timelines typically run 2–4 weeks for residential pool construction. During peak spring and summer seasons, timelines can extend slightly — we account for this in every project schedule from day one. We handle all permit applications, plan submissions, and inspection scheduling for every Plano build so you never have to deal with the building department directly.
Absolutely. In fact, some of the most interesting builds we do are on larger Ellis County acreage where we have real room to work. Rural and semi-rural lots give us the ability to plan for natural drainage, setback flexibility, and designs that integrate with the landscape in ways that smaller suburban lots don’t allow. Our Specialty Projects division handles complex custom installations including pools with unique hydraulics, engineering requirements, or site-specific challenges. Call us at (972) 377-9002 to discuss your property.

“We reviewed and met with several pool companies in DFW but when we had our first meeting with Andy we knew Venture was the company for us. Brett took care of everything quickly and all of the work is of the highest quality. Venture exceeded expectations and got our pool done in 3 months from start to first swim.”
Ryan J. — Google Review“Venture pools allowed us to pick out much more customization than the other places, and at the best price. Ken Green was very responsive and helped us sign the contract. Once construction started, Bret our project manager had the pool installed in a matter of weeks, ahead of schedule, and with zero complications.”
kg013154 — Google Review“Within four weeks, our pool was complete. Yes, four weeks and swimming. When you have a good manager that stays on top of his crew, backed by a good company, this is the result. Our pool is beautiful — it’s even better than we thought it was going to be.”
Wali — Google ReviewOur Plano headquarters is ready to take your call. Third-generation craftsmanship, national award-winning design, and a construction team based right here in the DFW metro — that’s the Venture difference.
