Waxahachie is growing fast. The US-287 corridor, Hwy 77 neighborhoods, and new subdivisions spreading south of I-35E are all seeing serious backyard investment right now — and for good reason. Ellis County families have the space to do something truly special, and they want a custom pool builder who actually knows the territory, not a company dispatching crews from Dallas who’ve never been south of Mansfield.

Outdoor Living Design & Construction in Waxahachie
The best pools we build in Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie 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.
Landscaping & Hardscaping
Pavers, decking, retaining walls, planting beds, and stone work that frames the pool and makes the whole backyard feel finished.
Turf Installation
Premium artificial turf around pool areas, putting greens, and play zones — low maintenance, always green, drains properly around water.
Outdoor Lighting & Audio
Landscape lighting, LED pool lighting, string lights, and outdoor audio systems that make your backyard usable and beautiful after dark.

Pool Renovations & Remodeling in Waxahachie
A lot of Waxahachie properties — especially older homes on the US-287 corridor and established subdivisions south of I-35E — have pools that were built 15 to 25 years ago. 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.
Pool Renovation Services in Waxahachie
- ✓Pool refinishing & replastering — high-quality surface materials that restore texture, color, and waterproofing
- ✓Tiling & coping replacement — updated tile lines and coping that improve durability and aesthetics
- ✓Pool additions — spas, water features, fire features, decking, tanning ledges added to existing pools
- ✓Equipment upgrades — variable-speed pumps, LED lighting, heaters, automation, and smart systems
- ✓Pool removal & demolition — full pool demolition for homeowners who want to repurpose the space
- ✓Structural repairs — crack repair, gunite patching, and structural restorations for aging pools

What Waxahachie Homeowners Should Know Before Building a Pool
Building a custom pool in Waxahachie isn’t exactly the same as building one in Frisco or Allen. The soil profile in Ellis County runs clay-heavy in some areas, which affects foundation design. Lot sizes tend to be larger, which is great for ambitious designs — but also means your pool contractor needs to think about drainage, setback requirements, and how the pool integrates with the full property.
Permits for new pool construction in Waxahachie go through the City of Waxahachie Building Inspections division. Ellis County has its own jurisdiction for properties outside city limits. We’ve pulled permits through both and know the process — typical approval timelines, what inspectors are looking for, and how to keep your build on schedule even when city timelines stretch.
How long does it take to build a custom pool in Waxahachie? From signed contract to first swim, most Venture Custom Pools builds in the Waxahachie 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 Waxahachie-area clients have been swimming in 4–6 weeks after groundbreaking when conditions allow.
Our Waxahachie office on US-287 BYP gives us a real logistical advantage for Ellis County builds. Crews aren’t staging from 45 minutes away — we’re local, which means faster response, tighter scheduling, and a construction manager who can actually swing by the site without burning half the day in transit.
Ellis County Permit & Jurisdiction
- ✓ City of Waxahachie Building Inspections issues permits for in-city properties
- ✓ Ellis County governs permits for unincorporated properties
- ✓ HOA requirements vary by subdivision — we verify prior to design
- ✓ Venture handles all permit applications and inspection coordination
- ✓ Ellis County soil reports evaluated on every custom build

Quality Inspection
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.
Final Walkthrough & Swim
We walk you through every system, explain operation and maintenance, and hand over a pool that’s ready to enjoy. Post-construction support is part of the deal — we don’t disappear after the check clears.
Waxahachie Pool Builder FAQ
Common questions from Waxahachie and Ellis County homeowners planning a custom pool build with Venture Custom Pools.
Yes. Our Waxahachie office is located at 1340 US-287 BYP #200, Waxahachie, TX 75165. This is a full-service office — not just a sales address. Our construction team is based locally, which means faster response times and a construction manager who can reach your Ellis County job site without the commute from Plano. Call us directly at (469) 214-7328.
Custom pool pricing in Waxahachie 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. Waxahachie lots often allow for larger designs that would be impossible in denser DFW suburbs, so many Ellis County clients end up in our Luxury tier once they see what’s possible with their space. We provide free, detailed written estimates — call (469) 214-7328 to get started.
City of Waxahachie Building Inspections permit timelines typically run 2–4 weeks for residential pool construction. Properties in unincorporated Ellis County go through the county permitting process, which can have slightly different timelines. We handle all permit applications, plan submissions, and inspection scheduling for every Waxahachie build — you don’t need to interface with the building department directly. We account for permit timing in every project schedule from day one.
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 (469) 214-7328 to discuss your property.

What Venture Custom Pools Clients Say
Real reviews from real homeowners. A 5.0-star Google rating reflects what happens when a third-generation builder puts craftsmanship and communication first on every build.
“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.”
