Pool Spa & Water Features in Dallas

Raised spillover spas, sheer descents, bubblers, and deck jets for Dallas pools. Folded into a remodel while the pool is drained.

Pool water features in Dallas range from a few hundred dollars for bubblers and deck jets up to $15,000 or more for a raised spillover spa or a rock grotto. The most requested is a raised spa that spills into the pool, followed by sheer descents off a raised wall and bubblers on a tanning ledge. Most of this work folds into a pool remodel while the pool is already drained, which is the cheaper way to do it.

The features cover a range. Sheer descents drop a clean sheet of water off a raised wall. Deck jets arc thin streams from the deck into the pool. Bubblers push a low boil up through a tanning ledge. A rock or grotto feature builds stone into the pool edge, sometimes with a spill or a small falls. Each one is plumbing and a return more than it is decoration, so we plan the lines and the pump load before any stone is set.

A raised spillover spa is a small structure that carries water and weight, so on Dallas black clay it needs a footing that will not settle and tilt the spa edge. If the spa lip drops out of level, the spill runs uneven and looks wrong. We pour the base for the soil, run the plumbing, and set the bond beam true so the water sheets evenly across the full lip into the pool.

Glass tile is the usual finish on a spa face, a spillway, or a grotto, because it holds color and reads bright against water. We set it level and to standard so it lasts in the chemistry and the sun. See the rest of our Dallas pool work for how features tie into tile, coping, and surface in one scope.

We have built spas and water features into Dallas pools for 20 years, most often as part of a wider renovation in Lakewood, Preston Hollow, and Lake Highlands. See our full Dallas services and fill out the form for a free on-site estimate.

Yes. A raised spillover spa, sheer descents, and bubblers can all be added to an existing pool. The work is easiest and cheapest while the pool is drained for a remodel, since the plumbing and structure go in at the same time.

It shares the drain, the plumbing trenching, and the crew time with the rest of the renovation. Adding a raised spa on its own means a separate drain and dig, so folding it into a tile and coping remodel saves real money.
