Custom Gunite Pools in Lakeway, Texas
Lakeway sits in western Travis County, in the hills above Lake Travis, west of Austin. Lots here are often sloped, rocky, and shaped around a view — which is exactly why a pool in Lakeway is a custom job, not a catalog shape. Worthey Aquatics designs and builds Custom Gunite Pools for Lakeway homeowners, with the same design-first process we use in San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country.
We have not published a finished Lakeway project gallery on this page. The useful first step is a site visit: we walk the grade, look at access, and design a Custom Gunite Pool that belongs to your yard. Nearby Dripping Springs is already in our town-page list; Lakeway and Bee Cave follow the same Hill Country approach.

Why Lakeway homeowners work with Worthey Aquatics
Hill Country expertise
Lakeway terrain is often limestone and caliche, with steep grades and tight access off winding streets. We design the pool, any retaining, and the drainage together. More on hillside work: Building a Pool on a Sloped Hill Country Lot.
Design-first planning
A site visit and 3D concepts come first, so you can see how the water sits with the house and the view. See our Custom Gunite Pools process.
Clear expectations
Custom Gunite Pools start at $100K, and the average pool runs $100K–$200K, depending on size, site, and features. Spas, negative edges, and full outdoor kitchens and patios can push a project above $200K. These are general ranges, not a quote. Full ranges: custom pool cost guide.
One team, start to finish
Design, construction, startup, and a walkthrough of your equipment — with one point of contact through permits and any association review.
Custom pool design for sloped and view lots in Lakeway
A Lakeway lot may drop toward a canyon, sit on a bench with a lake glimpse, or occupy a tighter pad in a planned community. We design each Custom Gunite Pool for:
- Lot size, shape, slope, and rock
- How the sun and shade move across the yard
- View corridors you want to keep
- How the house is finished
- How you plan to use the water — swim, lounge, spa, or evenings outside
A vanishing edge is often the right answer on a downhill view lot. See Hill Country negative-edge pools. If the yard is compact, a mini, plunge, or cocktail pool is still a full Custom Gunite Pool, starting around $60K. A typical mini pool takes about 6–8 weeks to build.
Features Lakeway homeowners often consider
- Tanning ledges and in-pool loungers
- Raised spas and spillways for year-round use
- Sheer descents, scuppers, and clean modern edges
- LED lighting and automation
- Energy-efficient equipment
None of these is required. The design should fit the lot and the way you live, not a feature list.
Pool remodeling in Lakeway
If you already have a pool that does not use the view, looks dated, or has become hard to maintain, a remodel may be the better path. Pool renovations can include a new interior finish, updated tile and coping, a spa or sun shelf, better decking and drainage, and equipment upgrades. We start by evaluating what is already in the ground.
Pool service and repairs
Weekly maintenance and cleaning are offered in San Antonio, Boerne, Bulverde, Helotes, and New Braunfels only. If you need service or repairs at a Lakeway address, contact us and we will confirm what we can take on. See pool maintenance.
Outdoor kitchens, patios, and fire features
We can design the pool together with covered patios, outdoor kitchens, dining areas, fire features, and lighting. Learn more: outdoor kitchens and patios.
Commercial pools in the area
Worthey Aquatics also designs, builds, and renovates commercial pools. If you have a commercial property in or near Lakeway, request a consultation and we will talk through the scope.
Our process for a Lakeway pool project
- Consultation and site visit. We discuss your goals, budget, and timeline and walk the lot — grade, access, rock, views, and setbacks.
- Concept design and 3D renderings. You see a custom layout before construction begins.
- Refinement and detailed proposal. A clear proposal so you know what is included.
- Permitting and approvals. Requirements depend on whether the property is inside the City of Lakeway or elsewhere in Travis County, and on any HOA or architectural review. We confirm what your address requires and prepare plans for permits and any association package.
- Construction and project management. Excavation, steel, plumbing, gunite, tile, coping, decking, and equipment. A typical build takes 8–12 weeks, with very complex or large projects taking up to 16 weeks. Design, permits, and any HOA approval happen before that window starts.
- Startup and walkthrough. We start up and balance the pool and walk you through the equipment.
If you want to swim by summer, it is wise to begin design in winter. More calendar guidance: when to start a pool project.
Financing is available through the partners listed on our pool financing page. Terms and approval vary by lender.

Turn your backyard into the ultimate private retreat.
