Pool Spa & Water Features in Fort Worth

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

Pool water features in Fort Worth 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 native stone into the pool edge, which suits the west-side homes where stone is already the vernacular, 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 the base has to stay put. On much of Fort Worth's west side the shallow limestone gives a firm footing, while toward the east of the county the clay moves more and the footing has to be sized for it. If the spa lip settles out of level the spill runs uneven, so we set the base for the soil and the bond beam true so the water sheets evenly across the full lip.

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 hot west-county sun. See the rest of our Fort Worth pool work for how features tie into tile, coping, and surface in one scope.

We have built spas and water features into Fort Worth pools for 20 years, most often as part of a wider renovation in Tanglewood and out on the west side. See our full Fort Worth services and fill out the form for a free on-site estimate.
