Blue Science: Award Winning Bee Cave Pool Builder

A Bee Cave backyard usually means limestone a foot down, a slope, live oaks worth protecting, and a view worth framing. Blue Science designs pools that work with all four and builds them with the same team that will service the pool afterward.

How a build fits together

“A Bee Cave pool is a sequence, not a surprise. Here is how the design, the equipment, and the build fit together.”

From first sketch to first swim

In Bee Cave the construction process runs from discovery and site review through concept design, selections, structural engineering and permitting, layout and excavation, steel and the gunite shell, plumbing and electrical, concrete decking, tile and interior finish, and finally fill-up, startup, and completion, across the 14 cities we build in. Each phase runs within a few weeks as hard Hill Country water, cedar pollen, and 100-degree summers, inspections, and material lead times allow, and the proposal states what is included, the budget, and the warranty before construction begins.

From the initial design conversation through startup you have one dedicated team, regular updates while the work is in progress, and no surprises about what was completed, because the decisions made on paper in Bee Cave are the ones that get built, around hard Hill Country water, cedar pollen, and 100-degree summers. Contact us to discuss financing options for your new pool before the design is final; pool financing is part of the first conversation, not an afterthought, because a pool is an investment that deserves planning with the whole project in mind, including hard Hill Country water, cedar pollen, and 100-degree summers.

Design choices that shape daily use

Depth, shape, entry style, a sun shelf, bench seating, spa placement, and where the deck opens toward the house: those decide how a Bee Cave pool gets used on a normal Tuesday rather than only at a party, through hard Hill Country water, cedar pollen, and 100-degree summers. Our designers think through who swims, who supervises, where the shade falls, and how the outdoor space works with the rest of the yard before anyone picks a tile, so the pool's functionality matches your vision rather than a catalog shape, with hard Hill Country water, cedar pollen, and 100-degree summers part of the plan. Because the design and build are handled by the same people, custom pools in several shapes and sizes end up unique to your family and your existing yard, which is what a dream pool is, in any of the 14 cities we build.

Features like fire bowls, sheer descents, and lighting scenes are planned with the hydraulics and controls, so they look right and run right, and the same attention goes into the pool designs you can browse in the gallery of 18 concepts on this website, all built for hard Hill Country water, cedar pollen, and 100-degree summers.

  • Shape and depth for how you actually swim
  • Shelves, benches, and spa placement
  • Deck flow, shade, and sight lines from the house
  • Lighting and water features planned with the equipment

Equipment planned as one system

Pump sizing, filter type, sanitizer, heater, and automation are matched to the pool's volume and features rather than chosen one at a time, using pool equipment and technology that meets current industry standards and stands up to hard Hill Country water, cedar pollen, and 100-degree summers. Future maintenance, repairs, and upgrades are easy because the pad is laid out for them, and once the water is balanced you get a startup walkthrough on the controls, the information you need to understand the system, and the support available afterward, Monday - Friday 7am - 6pm, Saturday 9am - 2pm.

The same pool builders who install the Jandy, Pentair, and Hayward equipment provide the weekly pool maintenance and care afterward, so our pool projects are built to a standard that lasts a lifetime, not to a construction deadline; among the pool companies in Greater Austin, Blue Science handles building, weekly service, remodeling, and renovations with one team, ready for hard Hill Country water, cedar pollen, and 100-degree summers. Since 2007 Blue Science has served homeowners across Greater Austin; the company is licensed, insured, and certified (Texas Appliance License TICL 587), and our very responsive, knowledgeable customer service team follows the project from the first sketch to the first swim, beyond completion and through the years of ownership, across all 14 cities.

Questions Bee Cave Pool Owners Ask

How long does a pool build take in North Texas?

Blue Science team member

Most builds run eight to twelve weeks from permit to first swim, and the weather owns two of those. Rain stops the dig and the gunite, and a freeze week pauses plaster, so I give you a calendar with weather days already in it rather than a date to be disappointed by.

Answered by a Blue Science pool builder, Greater Austin

How much does an inground gunite pool cost in Bee Cave?

There is no single Bee Cave price, because a pool is built to a lot. Size and shape set the base, finishes and decking move it up or down, and access for the excavation equipment, the soil under the yard, and drainage all affect the work. Permits in Bee Cave can influence the total, and every feature you add (a raised spa, lighting scenes, a sheer descent, a sun shelf) increases the scope. Book a home consultation and you get a price for your yard, not a range from a brochure. Our Bee Cave design process starts with a walk of the yard and ends with a startup walkthrough on the equipment.

How long does it take to build a backyard pool in Bee Cave?

It depends on the design, the permit, and the ground. A simple shape moves faster than one with a raised spa and a water feature; Bee Cave permit approvals and inspections add fixed waits; weather and material lead times move the rest. If excavation hits rock or groundwater, the crew slows down until it is handled. The timeline in your proposal runs from design through permits, construction, and startup, so there is one date to plan around.

Can I build a pool in my yard in Bee Cave?

Almost every Bee Cave yard can take a pool of some size; the yard decides the shape. Before anything is drawn we check setbacks and easements, locate the utility lines, read the HOA rules, and look at slope, drainage, and equipment access. A septic system or a tight side yard changes the layout rather than the answer, and the deck is planned with the pool so there is room to live around it.

Do you offer financing for a new pool in Bee Cave?

Contact us to discuss financing options. Pool financing for a Bee Cave build is handled project by project, so the conversation starts with the design and the written proposal, and we walk you through the options before anything is signed.
