Custom Gunite Pools in Wimberley, Texas
Wimberley sits in the Hays County Hill Country, along the Blanco River, where limestone hills, cypress, and oak shape almost every backyard. Worthey Aquatics designs and builds Custom Gunite Pools for Wimberley homeowners — from in-town lots to properties on acreage — with the same design-first process we use across San Antonio and the Hill Country.
We have not published a finished Wimberley project gallery on this page. What we will do is walk your lot, design a Custom Gunite Pool for the actual grade, rock, trees, and views, and give you a clear estimate before construction starts. If you are between Wimberley and Dripping Springs, the same approach applies.

Why Wimberley homeowners work with Worthey Aquatics
Hill Country expertise
Wimberley lots often come with limestone close to the surface, changes in grade, and trees you want to keep. We design the pool, the deck, and the drainage together so the backyard works with the land instead of fighting it. More on hillside work: Building a Pool on a Sloped Hill Country Lot.
Design-first planning
We begin with a consultation and 3D concepts so you can see the pool, spa, and deck in your actual yard before construction starts. See our Custom Gunite Pools process.
Clear expectations
You get a detailed estimate and a realistic timeline. Custom Gunite Pools start around $75–100K, and the average pool runs $100K–$200K, depending on size, site, and features. These are general ranges, not a quote. Your estimate comes after a site visit. Full ranges: custom pool cost guide.
One team, start to finish
Design, construction, startup, and a walkthrough of your equipment. If you later need repairs or a remodel, you already have a builder who knows the pool.
Custom pool design for sloped and view lots in Wimberley
A Wimberley backyard may sit above the river corridor, on a limestone bench, or on a tighter in-town lot. We design each Custom Gunite Pool for:
- Lot size, shape, slope, and rock
- How sun and shade move across the yard
- View lines and trees you want to protect
- How the house is finished, so coping, deck, and waterline feel like they belong
- How you plan to use the water — swim, lounge, spa, or a little of each
If the yard is compact, a mini, plunge, or cocktail pool is still a full Custom Gunite Pool, starting around $60K, sized for a smaller footprint. A typical mini pool takes about 6–8 weeks to build.
For longer views and downhill lots, a vanishing edge can be the right answer. See Hill Country negative-edge pools.
Features Wimberley homeowners often consider
- Tanning ledges and beach entries
- Raised spas and spillways
- Waterfalls, sheer descents, and rock work that fits the Hill Country setting
- LED lighting and automation
- Energy-efficient equipment
None of these is required. Plenty of excellent Custom Gunite Pools are a well-shaped pool, a clean deck, and a simple equipment pad, built to the lot.
Pool remodeling in Wimberley
If you already have a pool that looks dated, is hard to maintain, or does not use the yard well, a remodel may be the better investment. Pool renovations can include a new interior finish, updated tile and coping, layout changes such as a bench, sun shelf, or spa, better decking and drainage, and equipment upgrades. We start by evaluating the existing pool and recommending where to invest.
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 Wimberley 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 so the whole backyard works as one space. 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 Wimberley, request a consultation and we will talk through the scope.
Our process for a Wimberley pool project
- Consultation and site visit. We discuss your goals, budget, and timeline and walk the lot — grade, access, rock, trees, and setbacks.
- Concept design and 3D renderings. You see a custom layout with recommended features, finishes, and equipment before construction begins.
- Refinement and detailed proposal. We refine the design and present a clear proposal so you know what is included.
- Permitting and approvals. Requirements depend on whether the property is inside Wimberley city limits or in unincorporated Hays County, and on any HOA or architectural review. We confirm what your address requires and prepare plans for permits and any association package. Some Hill Country lots also involve septic, drainage, or aquifer-related rules; we sort that out during design rather than after the hole is started.
- 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.
