Build a Custom Pool in Allen, TX

Allen Homeowners Choose El Dorado Pools

Allen is one of the most family-forward cities in Collin County, and its homeowners invest heavily in outdoor living. Neighborhoods like Twin Creeks, Watters Crossing, Ridgeview Ranch, Allen Heights, and Bethany Creek feature the kind of yards that were made for custom pools — and the families that live there want them done right. We've built and remodeled custom gunite pools throughout Allen for years. As a Collin County-based company operating 18+ miles from Allen's City Hall, we know the City of Allen Development Services permit process, typical HOA requirements in Twin Creeks and Ridgeview Ranch, and what the expansive black cotton soil in this part of the county means for your pool shell and deck.

From the initial design consultation through the final walkthrough, we stay on-site, on-schedule, and on-budget. No subcontractor runaround — our own crew builds every pool we sell.

Building in Allen

Allen's clay-heavy soil — the same Blackland Prairie soil running through Collin County — expands significantly during rain and shrinks during drought. This movement is hard on pool shells and decking if construction doesn't account for it properly. We use engineered gunite shell thickness and reinforcement specifications designed for North Texas soil conditions, not just the bare minimum required by code.
