Expert Guide from Creekstone Outdoor Living
Thinking about adding a custom pool to your backyard in Fulshear, TX? One of the most common questions we hear is: How long does it take to build a pool?
While each project is unique, most pool construction in Fulshear, TX takes about 8 to 12 weeks, depending on design complexity, permitting, and weather conditions. At Creekstone Outdoor Living, we specialize in creating luxury pools that are both beautiful and built to last.
Here’s what to expect from start to finish.
1. Design & Planning (1–3 Weeks)
Every successful pool project begins with design. Our Fulshear design team meets with you to discuss your ideas, budget, and layout preferences. We’ll:
- Evaluate your property’s dimensions and slope
- Design a custom 3D plan
- Select materials, finishes, and pool features
Once approved, we prepare everything needed to start the permitting process.
2. Permitting & HOA Approval (1–4 Weeks)
Permitting requirements in the Fulshear and Fort Bend County areas can vary by neighborhood or subdivision. Creekstone Outdoor Living manages the entire process, including HOA submissions and city permits, to minimize delays and ensure compliance.
3. Excavation & Steel Framing (1–2 Weeks)
After permits are approved, we mark your pool layout and start digging. Excavation typically takes a few days, followed by steel reinforcement framing that shapes your pool’s structure.
4. Plumbing, Electrical & Gunite (2–3 Weeks)
This phase includes installing plumbing lines, filtration, lighting, and water features, followed by the gunite shell. Gunite curing takes several days, allowing the concrete to harden into a strong, long-lasting structure.
5. Tile, Coping & Decking (1–3 Weeks)
Next, we add the aesthetic elements that make your pool shine. You’ll choose from beautiful tile and coping materials to match your outdoor style, plus decking options like travertine, pavers, or decorative concrete.
6. Finishing Touches & Start-Up (1 Week)
Once all structural and aesthetic work is complete, we apply the interior finish, fill the pool, and get everything running. We’ll also provide a personalized orientation to ensure you understand maintenance and care
What Can Affect Pool Construction Time?
- Weather: Heavy rain or cold temperatures can delay certain steps.
- HOA or City Reviews: Processing times vary by location.
- Custom Features: Waterfalls, spas, or complex lighting may add time.
