About Aquatic Pools and Hot Tubs

League City's trusted pool builder since 2017 — building custom pools and outdoor living spaces across the Bay Area with craftsmanship you can count on.

Our Story

Aquatic Pools and Hot Tubs was founded by Don Yeager with a straightforward vision: build beautiful, long-lasting pools and treat every customer like a neighbor — because many of them are. From the very first gunite pour, Don has been hands-on with every project, bringing the same level of care to a modest backyard retreat as to an elaborate outdoor resort.

Starting in the League City and Bay Area market in 2017, we've grown steadily by doing one thing well — delivering what we promise. Word-of-mouth referrals and repeat customers have been our best advertising, and our track record of 72+ completed pools speaks for itself.

We believe transparent communication is just as important as skilled construction. From your first 3D design consultation to the day you take your first swim, you'll always know exactly where your project stands.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about building a custom pool or transforming your backyard in League City? We've answered the most common questions from homeowners across the Bay Area.

Most custom gunite pool projects in League City and the surrounding Bay Area take 8–14 weeks from permit approval to completion, depending on size, complexity, and weather. The process includes design, permitting, excavation, gunite shell, plumbing, electrical, decking, and finish work. We provide a detailed project timeline during your free backyard consultation.

Gunite pools are custom-built on-site using a concrete-and-sand mixture sprayed over a rebar frame — they can be any shape, size, or depth, and are ideal for truly custom designs. Fiberglass pools are pre-formed shells installed in one piece, which means faster installation (1–2 weeks), a smooth non-porous surface, and lower long-term chemical costs. We build both and will help you choose the right fit for your yard and budget.

Yes! We offer 3D CAD pool design so you can visualize your finished backyard before a single shovel hits the ground. Our designers work with you to plan pool shape, depth, water features, coping, decking, and outdoor living elements as one cohesive project. Ask about our 3D design during your free consultation.

Pool construction in League City, Pearland, Friendswood, and surrounding cities requires building permits and inspections from the local municipality. We handle all permitting on your behalf — including structural, electrical, and plumbing permits — and coordinate all required inspections. Permit timelines vary by city, which is factored into your project schedule.

Absolutely — and we recommend it. Combining your pool construction with an outdoor kitchen, pergola, or fire pit in one project saves time and money. Our crews coordinate all trades so your backyard transformation is completed as a single seamless project rather than multiple separate contracts.

We design and build complete outdoor living spaces including outdoor kitchens with built-in grills and refrigeration, pergolas and shade structures, fire pits and fireplaces, and water features. Our outdoor living services are designed to complement your pool and hardscaping for a fully functional backyard retreat.

Many outdoor structures require permits depending on the city and the size of the structure. We handle permitting for all projects we build, including outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and covered structures in League City, Pearland, Friendswood, Texas City, Galveston, and Houston.

We install stamped concrete, travertine, and Kool Deck — all popular choices for Texas pool surrounds. Travertine stays cool underfoot in the Gulf Coast heat and resists fading. Kool Deck is a classic concrete coating that reduces surface temperature significantly. Stamped concrete offers the widest range of patterns and colors. Our hardscaping team will recommend the best material for your climate, budget, and style.

Common signs include a rough or stained plaster surface, cracks, faded tile, outdated equipment, or a deck that's chipping or discolored. If your pool is 10+ years old, a pool renovation can dramatically improve appearance, efficiency, and safety. We offer free renovation assessments — call us at 409-986-7600 to schedule.

Our pool renovation services can include replastering or pebble finish application, tile replacement, coping repair or replacement, deck resurfacing, equipment upgrades (pumps, heaters, automation), and water feature additions. We customize the scope based on your pool's condition and your goals.

Yes — we serve League City, Pearland, Friendswood, Houston, Texas City, Galveston, and the surrounding Bay Area communities.
