Custom Pool Construction in Southwest Ranches
Southwest Ranches’ large-acreage, equestrian-zoned lots give us room most South Florida properties don’t have — space for expansive sun shelves, multiple water features, and pool decks big enough for real entertaining. Many properties here are not governed by an HOA, which can leave more room in the design. We build geometric and freeform pools with integrated spas and infinity edges, finished in natural stone, porcelain, or travertine.
Pool Remodeling & Renovation for Southwest Ranches Homes
Many Southwest Ranches properties were built with a modest pool that no longer matches the scale of the land around it. We handle full remodels — new coping and decking, added sun shelves and spas, saltwater conversion, LED and fiber-optic lighting, and a Pebble Tec or Diamond Brite resurface — sized to fit the property, not just the existing pool footprint.
Natural Stone Decking & Outdoor Living
On acreage properties, the deck often needs to bridge the pool to a barn, paddock, or outdoor living area some distance away. Our hardscape division installs travertine, porcelain, paver, and natural stone decking along with outdoor kitchens, cabanas, and covered living spaces built for Southwest Ranches’ larger lots.
Do I need a permit to build or remodel a pool in Southwest Ranches?
In most cases, yes. New pools in Southwest Ranches generally require a building permit, and remodels usually do as well once the work goes beyond a cosmetic resurface into structural, electrical, or plumbing changes; exact requirements depend on the scope of work. Florida law also requires an approved pool safety feature, such as a barrier, safety cover, or approved alarms, before the pool passes final inspection. We handle permitting as part of the project, including the engineered drawings, and on large acreage lots we account for septic, well, and setback constraints before the plans are submitted. Current requirements are posted by the Town of Southwest Ranches Building Department.

Frequently Asked Questions
Large-lot projects in Southwest Ranches often take a bit longer than a standard suburban pool simply because of the scale — expect a few months for new construction. We’ll give you a project-specific timeline after seeing your property.
Often quite a lot. Without HOA design review, there can be room for larger pools and water features than many gated communities allow. Town zoning, setbacks and building permits still apply, and we confirm those for your property before design.
Yes. We design pools and outdoor living spaces to work around existing equestrian structures where the site allows, rather than requiring you to reconfigure your property.
