Custom Pool and Spa Builders Serving Garland, TX and the Greater DFW Area
A pool should fit the way you actually use your backyard, not the other way around. Whether you are picturing a resort-style pool with a tanning ledge, a compact plunge pool for a smaller lot, or a spa built for year-round use, the design phase is where that vision either comes together or falls apart.
Spades Pools designs and builds custom pools and spas for homeowners throughout Garland and the surrounding DFW area. As a family, locally owned company, we take pride in honest communication and construction handled entirely in-house, from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. No subcontractor delays, no passing your project between crews.
We believe a custom build should be collaborative, transparent, and free of surprises. Here is what you can expect from start to finish.
We walk your property, discuss how you want to use the space, and talk through style, budget, and any site-specific challenges like slope, drainage, or existing landscaping.
We put together a design that fits your yard’s dimensions and your vision, including shape, depth, features like tanning ledges or spas, and how the pool integrates with the rest of your outdoor space.
We handle the permitting process and finalize construction details, so you are not stuck navigating city requirements on your own.
Our in-house team handles excavation, structural work, plumbing, and finishing, with consistent oversight from start to finish rather than rotating crews.
Before we consider the project complete, we walk you through your new pool or spa, review equipment operation, and make sure everything matches what was designed.
A custom build comes with benefits a pre-designed or generic installation cannot offer.
Whether you want a pool for laps, entertaining, or relaxing, a custom design fits the way your household actually uses the space.
Custom design accounts for your yard's specific layout, drainage, and grade, rather than forcing a standard shape onto a lot that was not built for it.
A well-designed pool and spa is a strong long-term investment, particularly in a market where outdoor living space adds real resale value.
In-house construction means consistent quality control throughout the build, rather than inconsistent work from multiple subcontracted crews.
A thoughtfully designed pool can be built with future additions in mind, like a spa, water feature, or outdoor kitchen tie-in.
Not every backyard needs a full pool, and not every homeowner wants one. A spa alone offers year-round use, since it can be heated and enjoyed in cooler months when a full pool would not be practical. A full pool suits households prioritizing swimming, entertaining, or larger gatherings. Combining both gives you the flexibility of daily spa use with the option for a full pool experience when you want it.
We will walk you through the tradeoffs in cost, maintenance, and footprint for each option based on your specific yard and how your household actually plans to use the space.
Not sure if now is the right time? Here are common signs it is worth exploring.
If you are already updating landscaping, patios, or outdoor living space, building the pool alongside those changes saves time and avoids redoing work later.
If you are driving to a public pool regularly or your household has grown, a custom pool built for your specific needs often becomes worth the investment.
If hosting is a priority, a custom design lets you build in seating areas, lighting, and features suited specifically for gatherings.
A custom pool is a long-term investment that pays off most for homeowners planning to enjoy the space for years, not just a season or two.
