Built on craftsmanship, not volume.
J. Oliver Custom Pools and Design is a locally owned pool builder serving New Braunfels, Boerne, San Antonio and the surrounding Texas Hill Country. We design and build custom gunite pools, spas, water features, and full outdoor living spaces — one project at a time, to a standard we put our name on.
J. Oliver Pools is a New Braunfels pool builder you can trust — and that trust is built into who we are. We're two brothers and lifelong friends who spent our careers as firefighters, serving this community before we ever poured a pool. We brought that same code with us: show up, do it right, and stand behind your word.
We stay deliberately hands-on. From the first design conversation to the day you take your first swim, you work directly with the people building your pool — not a call center. That is how every detail gets handled, and how we have earned a five-star reputation across our markets.
That firefighter background shapes more than our work ethic — it shapes how we run a jobsite. We plan carefully, communicate clearly, and treat your home with respect. When something needs to be made right, we make it right, because our reputation in this community matters more than any single margin. It is the same accountability we lived by in the firehouse, carried into every backyard we touch.
We also keep our volume intentionally limited. Rather than running dozens of jobs at once, we take on a manageable number of builds so each one gets the attention it deserves. That focus is why our pools hold up, why our timelines hold true, and why so many of our new projects come from referrals by neighbors who have lived with their J. Oliver pool for years.
Before & after.
Steel, gunite, and months of careful work stand between dirt and a finished backyard. Here is one of ours, start to finish.

One team, start to finish.
A custom pool is a major project, and the difference between a smooth build and a stressful one comes down to how it is run. Here is what working with us actually looks like, from first call to first swim.
