WHY WATERCOLOR POOLS
Lakeway Gunite Pools Tailored to Your Homesites
In Lakeway and around Lake Travis — whether you’re in Rough Hollow, Flintrock, The Hills, or overlooking the water in Spicewood — no two backyards are the same. We design every gunite pool and spa from scratch to fit your architecture, slope, and view corridors.
Our focus is on clean, modern lines and timeless materials that still feel warm and usable for everyday family life — not just photos. We specialize in complete backyard environments, integrating your pool into the patio, landscape, and outdoor living so it looks like it was always meant to be there.
As a family-owned, owner-led builder, you work directly with us from the first design conversation through the final startup walkthrough — not a revolving door of salespeople and project managers.
WHERE WE BUILD
Lakeway Communities We Serve
Rough Hollow
View-driven, architecturally elevated lots that call for broad pool designs with strong sightlines toward Lake Travis. We design for your views first.
The Hills of Lakeway
Golf-course properties with HOA standards and tighter lot constraints that require thoughtful site planning and precise design execution.
Serene Hills
A mix of lot types from compact courtyard builds to wider properties — each designed around the home’s architecture and how the family actually lives outside.
Flintrock Falls
Master-planned community with specific HOA review requirements. We prepare all submittals and handle coordination with the Flintrock Falls architectural committee.
Spanish Oaks
Upscale Hill Country setting with properties that often feature elevation changes and mature landscaping to design around and integrate into the pool plan.
Spicewood & Lake Travis
Waterfront and hillside lots with steep grades, retaining requirements, and views that make site-specific engineering and design essential from day one.

LAKEWAY, TX
Built for the Lakeway Lifestyle
Luxury Design That Still Works for Families
Lakeway homeowners want a high-end, architectural look that still feels comfortable for kids, grandkids, and everyday living — and that’s exactly where Watercolor Pools sits. We design with a luxury mindset — clean lines, curated finishes, and strong sightlines — then tailor features, size, and details so the project makes sense for your family and your specific community.
The end result is a backyard that fits your Lakeway community’s character, can host a crowd on Saturday, and still feels like a private resort when the sun goes down over Lake Travis.
Engineering for Lakeway Slopes & Site Conditions
Lakeway and Lake Travis communities often involve slopes, views, and strict guidelines from HOAs in Rough Hollow, The Hills of Lakeway, Flintrock Falls, and other master-planned neighborhoods. We take on all of that technical and administrative work for you — from engineering and structural plans to drainage and retaining solutions.
With nearly a decade of pool building experience, your design isn’t just beautiful on a screen — it’s engineered to perform on the real slopes, soils, and setbacks found throughout Lakeway and Spicewood.
The end result is a backyard that fits your Lakeway community’s character, can host a crowd on Saturday, and still feels like a private resort when the sun goes down over Lake Travis.

Do you build on sloped lots in Rough Hollow and The Hills of Lakeway?
Yes — sloped and view-oriented lots are some of our most common builds in the Lakeway area. We handle the structural engineering, drainage, and retaining solutions required for hillside properties throughout Rough Hollow, The Hills, Serene Hills, Flintrock, and along the Lake Travis shoreline.
Do you handle HOA submittals for Lakeway communities?
Yes. Communities like Rough Hollow, Flintrock Falls, The Hills of Lakeway, and Spanish Oaks each have their own HOA guidelines and architectural review processes. We prepare and submit all HOA documentation tailored to your specific community’s requirements, so you’re not navigating multiple sets of rules on your own.
What permits are required to build a pool in Lakeway?
Pools in Lakeway require permits through the City of Lakeway as well as Travis County depending on your specific location. Requirements include setback compliance, barrier and fencing standards, structural plans, and drainage review — all of which we manage as part of our standard process.

Most Lakeway pool builds take approximately 7–10 weeks from the day construction begins on site, under standard conditions. Projects involving complex retaining walls, steep elevation changes, or highly customized features — common on hillside lots near Lake Travis — can run longer, and we communicate those timelines upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Can I see a 3D design before construction starts?
Yes — we provide free custom 3D renderings on every project. We walk your property first, gather inspiration from your home’s architecture and views, then develop a rendering that shows the pool from multiple angles so you can see exactly how it will relate to your house, your Lake Travis views, and your outdoor living space before any dirt is moved.
