How much does pool building cost here in TX?

The pool building cost in Texas can vary depending on various factors, but on average, you can expect it to range between $79k and $145k. The final cost depends on the size, design features, materials used, and additional amenities you choose for your pool.

Will you provide a design for my new pool?

Absolutely! Our experienced designers will work closely with you to understand your vision, preferences, and any specific requirements you may have. We will create a custom pool design that reflects your style, maximizes functionality, and optimizes the use of your outdoor space. Our goal is to bring your pool vision to life while ensuring it complements your overall landscape design and meets your expectations.

What is the best type of pool?

Gunite pools with a pebble finish are widely considered to be the best type of pool. Gunite is a durable and versatile material that allows for various design possibilities, including custom shapes and sizes. The pebble finish provides an attractive and long-lasting surface that is resistant to stains and offers a comfortable texture. Gunite pools with a pebble finish not only offer exceptional durability but also provide a visually stunning and low-maintenance swimming pool experience.

Do I need a permit to build a pool in my backyard?

Yes, you will need a permit to build a pool in your backyard. Obtaining a permit ensures that the construction of your pool adheres to local building codes, safety regulations, and zoning requirements.

How fast can you build my pool?

The construction timeline for your pool project can vary depending on several factors. While the fastest completion time we have achieved was 8 weeks, it’s important to plan for a construction period of around 12 weeks, taking into account the permits and planning phase, which typically requires another 12 weeks.

Can I customize the shape and size of my pool?

Of course! You can customize the shape and size of your pool to suit your preferences and needs. Whether you envision a traditional rectangular pool, a freeform design, or any other unique shape, our design team can bring your ideas to life.

Turn Your Backyard Into a Salt Water Escape

Close your eyes and picture it: your kids’ laughter echoing across the yard as they swim in water that feels soft, fresh, and clean. Friends gathered around the grill while the pool becomes the center of every summer evening. A quiet late-night swim where the only thing you notice is how calm it feels, not the sting of chlorine.

That’s the beauty of a salt water pool. It turns your backyard into a vacation retreat.

At MCM Outdoor Living, we specialize in salt water pool installation designed for families who want comfort, style, and water that feels as gentle as it looks. We take care of the hard part so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying it.

Healthier Water, Happier Swims, Lower Maintenance

If you’ve lived with a chlorine pool, you know the trade-offs: harsh smell, constant chemical runs, and eyes that sting after every swim. Switching to salt water makes it all easier: softer water, cleaner swims, and upkeep that feels almost effortless.

With MCM Outdoor Living, salt water pool conversion is made simple. We’ve helped families across Collin and Dallas Counties turn chlorine pools into salt water retreats.

You too can now enjoy a healthier swimming environment for the family, lower maintenance costs, and a 3-year pool equipment warranty that puts you at ease.

Frequently Asked Questions About Salt Water Pools

Will a salt water pool damage my stone, tile, or equipment?

Not when it’s installed right. The truth is, most “salt horror stories” come from poor builds or cheap materials. At MCM, we only use equipment and finishes designed to handle saltwater, so your pool stays beautiful for years.

Is the water really that different from chlorine pools?

Absolutely. Homeowners tell us the water feels “silkier.” It’s gentler on skin, eyes, and hair, which is great, especially for kids who spend hours in the pool.

How long does it take to convert my existing pool?

In most cases, just a couple of days. We inspect your setup first, then install the system and walk you through how to use it. By the weekend, you could be swimming in saltwater.

Does a salt water pool still use chlorine?

Yes, but differently. The system converts salt into chlorine naturally, which means lower, steadier levels. You still get clean, safe water — without the harsh smell or sting.

What’s the upkeep like day to day?

A lot easier. Instead of constantly buying and adding chlorine, your salt system does the work for you. You’ll still need to test and balance the water, but most families find they spend a fraction of the time they used to on pool care.

Is the investment really worth it long-term?

Yes. While installation costs a bit more upfront, you save hundreds every year on chemicals, and you get the comfort of healthier water. Over five years, those savings really add up. Plus you get a better swimming experience every single day.
