How Much Does a Pool Cost? What Rio Grande Valley Homeowners Need to Know
Thinking about transforming your backyard into a refreshing oasis in the Rio Grande Valley? At Hamlin Pools, we know the cost of building a pool is one of the first questions homeowners ask. Here’s what you need to know—and why we’ve been the trusted pool builder in the RGV since 1952.
Cost of Building a Shotcrete Pool in the Rio Grande Valley
A shotcrete pool is built using a strong, spray-on concrete process—perfect for fully custom designs, unique shapes, and long-term durability. The final cost of your pool depends on several factors:
- Pool size – standard, small, large, or fully custom builds
- Design complexity – freeform, geometric, or classic styles
- Special features – fountains, LED lighting, water features, tanning ledges, spa integration, or upgraded decking materials
- Access – If there is simple side access to your backyard, construction is typically easier and more cost-effective. However, if access is limited and requires mini excavation equipment or extra days to dig, the cost will increase compared to yards that allow for large excavators and dump trucks.
At Hamlin Pools, construction for a shotcrete pool starts around $38,500 for homeowners in McAllen, Mission, and Edinburg* This price reflects a beautifully crafted, long-lasting pool designed for your Texas lifestyle.
*Subject to credit approval. If you’re outside these areas, ask us about the great price we can offer you!
