Custom pool builder
in Spring, Texas.
Spring is unincorporated, which surprises people — there is no city hall to permit a pool here, and the master-planned communities carry their own design review on top of the county's requirements.

Ground conditions in Spring
Harris County expansive clay, flat ground, and drainage tied to the Cypress Creek and Spring Creek watersheds. Clay that moves with moisture is the governing structural condition: it drives engineered shell construction and it makes deck detailing and drainage more than cosmetic decisions. On established lots, mature trees and existing grade usually set the layout before preference does.
Permits and approvals in Spring
Spring has no city government of its own, so residential pool permitting runs through the Harris County engineer's office. Being inside the City of Houston's extraterritorial jurisdiction does not change that — the ETJ limits annexation rights, it does not give Houston permitting authority here. Several of the master-planned communities require architectural or design committee approval before construction, which is a separate step from the county permit.
