Custom Inground Pool Design & Construction in Seguin, TX
Every Fossil Creek pool starts with your vision and ends with our crew on-site — no sub-contractors, no hand-offs, no surprises. We design custom gunite pools specifically for your Seguin property, accounting for Guadalupe County’s soil conditions, waterfront and flood zone considerations where applicable, City of Seguin permitting requirements, and your neighborhood’s HOA guidelines.

Waterfront and river-adjacent properties may have additional considerations around drainage, flood zones, and setbacks. Our gunite pools are engineered for all of these conditions — rebar-reinforced and built to last in every Guadalupe County soil type.
