Our home turf
Proud to call Austin home.
South Austin and Dripping Springs are the heart of Hill Country living: distilleries, live oaks, and a creative, close knit community just outside the city. It's where Austinites go when they want space, sky, and a slower pace.
Your Austin South team chose this corner of the Hill Country for the same reasons you did, the land, the community, the lifestyle, and they build for neighbors they'll see at the next Saturday market.
A pool is so much more than a pool. It adds lasting value to your home, your family, and your lifestyle. It's where summer birthdays become core memories, where the kids burn off energy after school, and where you unwind with a glass of wine as the string lights flicker on. California Pools of Austin makes the whole process easy, from the first design sketch and free consultation to the day you dive in and start relaxing. Our local experts are here to guide you every step of the way, making the decisions straightforward, understandable, and genuinely enjoyable. When your builder lives down the street and is proud to call Austin home, every backyard becomes a personal point of pride.

“Steve and team did an amazing job re-coping and re-tiling our pool! It was in ROUGH shape and they worked quickly and excellently. They cleaned the whole thing afterwards and left it awesome shape. Would use them again in a heartbeat.”
