Build a Custom Pool in Plano, TX

Plano Homeowners Choose El Dorado Pools

Plano's established West Plano neighborhoods — Willow Bend, Hunters Cove, Arbor Hills, Heritage Creekside, and the estates along Midway Road — contain some of the most valuable residential properties in Collin County. Many of the pools in these neighborhoods were built in the 1990s and early 2000s, and are now prime candidates for a full remodel or equipment modernization. For homeowners in East and Central Plano's newer developments like Eastgate and Haggard Farm, we build new custom gunite pools from the ground up. El Dorado Pools has worked across virtually every Plano zip code — 75023, 75024, 75025, 75074, 75075 — and we know the City of Plano Building Inspections permitting process inside and out.

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.
