Pools made for San Marcos living.
San Marcos sits halfway between Austin and San Antonio on one of the clearest rivers in Texas, and we build pools to match its setting. From Blanco Vista and Paso Robles to La Cima and Kissing Tree, we design custom backyards for the city's fast-growing neighborhoods.
We build across the Hill Country and know San Marcos's mix of limestone and clay. Every pool is engineered to its exact lot and finished in durable PebbleTec — a private retreat minutes from the river.
Every San Marcos pool we build is engineered to its exact lot and finished in durable PebbleTec, then backed by smart automation and equipment from trusted partners like Pentair and Jandy. The result is a resort-quality retreat designed for how Texas families actually live outdoors — and built to last through decades of seasons.
Built by two brothers and career firefighters, J. Oliver Pools brings the same integrity and attention to detail to every San Marcos project. Most custom gunite pools we build start around $60,000, with mid‑range builds between $75,000 and $150,000 depending on size, finishes, and features.
Custom pools across San Marcos & Hays County.
San Marcos sits where the Hill Country meets the I-35 corridor — spring-fed rivers, fast-growing master-planned communities, and custom acreage to the west. We design and build custom gunite pools throughout Hays County and the communities below.

What it takes to build here — and why local knowledge matters.
Building a swimming pool in San Marcos isn't the same as building one on flat, sandy ground. Get the engineering wrong and a pool can shift, crack, or settle; get it right — as we do on every build — and you have a structure that holds true for decades. Here is an honest look at what goes into a custom pool in our area, and why hiring a local builder protects your investment.
