We are Petri Pools, a Lewisville based swimming pool contractor serving Southlake, Texas. We handle pool resurfacing, plastering, remodeling and full renovations for homeowners, HOAs, property managers and designers, adjusting each project to Southlake conditions and neighborhood priorities.
How we serve Southlake homeowners and properties
Southlake homeowners hire us when their pools need a refreshed finish, better equipment integration, or a complete redesign that fits outdoor living around Southlake Town Square and neighborhood yards. Typical projects we complete in the area include pool resurfacing to restore an aging finish, pool plastering for smooth renovates, and full pool remodeling or pool renovation when customers want new shapes, water features, or finishes that match their landscape design.
We work with homeowners, HOAs, and property managers to balance durability and style, and we coordinate with landscape designers and real estate agents when projects affect curb appeal or usable outdoor space.
Neighborhoods and nearby areas we work in
We cover Southlake and nearby neighborhoods across north Tarrant County and the western edge of the Dallas Fort Worth area. Many of our Southlake projects sit near commuter corridors, golf properties and lakefront areas around Grapevine Lake, where privacy fences, mature trees and neighborhood covenants shape design choices.
- Single family homes in mature Southlake subdivisions
- Luxury yards with outdoor living integration
- HOA and community pools requiring durable finishes
- Vacation rental and investment properties needing reliable, low maintenance surfaces
Local conditions that affect pool work in Southlake
Southlake sits in north Texas clay soils with hard municipal water and strong sun exposure. That combination changes how finishes wear, how equipment is specified, and how we plan drainage and coping.
Because of local water hardness and UV exposure, finish selection and surface preparation are critical. We consult material options and outline tradeoffs, for example surface longevity and maintenance needs for plaster versus aggregate finishes. For projects near mature trees or lakefront lots, we factor leaf load and windblown debris into circulation design and skimmer placement.
What to expect during a Southlake pool project
We treat every job like it is in our own backyard. Below is a compact view of the process so you know what happens from first site review to handoff.
- Site assessment. We inspect the finish, structure and equipment, and note local constraints like trees, easements or HOA rules.
- Material selection. We review finish options and explain how each performs in Texas sun and hard water.
- Surface preparation. Proper preparation is essential. We remove loose material, profile the deck and verify plumbing and structure before applying new finishes.
- Installation and curing. We follow manufacturer recommendations for curing and balance water chemistry after fill, protecting the finish for years of use.
- Final inspection. We walk the project with you, explain maintenance needs, and document the work for your records.
Deciding factors for common Southlake projects
Homeowners in Southlake often weigh aesthetics against maintenance and longevity. Here are the common priorities we help clients evaluate.
- Finish life and wear patterns in hard water
- Slip resistance and texture for family pools
- Integration of LED and color lighting with plaster or aggregate finishes
- Compatibility with automation and energy efficient pumps
Before you start a renovation
- Confirm HOA rules and setback or coping requirements
- Plan for tree and drainage management if the yard has mature oaks or elms
- Decide desired finish look, color and maintenance expectations
- Discuss equipment upgrades if you want quieter, more efficient operation
Materials and topics we recommend researching
We help customers learn the tradeoffs for popular finishes and construction choices.

Key takeaway
Southlake pool projects succeed when the finish, equipment and site work are selected for local water chemistry, clay soils and heavy sun. We combine local experience with hands on craftsmanship to deliver durable, attractive results.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a resurfacing or plaster project take in Southlake?
Typical resurfacing or replastering projects vary with pool size and site access. Most jobs follow a sequence of preparation, application and curing. We plan timelines with weather and curing needs in mind, and we coordinate with owners about fill and final balancing.
Will Southlake water harm a new finish?
Hard water common in the region can affect finish wear and staining. Proper material selection, surface preparation and ongoing water balance reduce those risks. We explain maintenance needs and recommend suitable finishes for local water chemistry.
Do Southlake projects need permits?
Many renovations that change plumbing, electrical or structural aspects require permits. We discuss permit needs during the site review and work with local authorities or homeowners to ensure compliance.
Can you update pool equipment and lighting during a remodel?
Yes. Modernizing pumps, filtration, automation and lighting is a common part of pool remodeling. We coordinate equipment integration so new systems match the pool finish and performance goals.
How do you protect surrounding landscaping during a renovation?
We plan staging and access to minimize impact on lawns, patios and plantings. For clients with significant landscape work, we collaborate with landscape designers so the pool renovation ties into the overall outdoor living plan.
