SCOPE
What this service covers.
Only the work we actually do — no padded list. If you are not sure whether your job fits, send a photo and we will tell you straight.
Pad and base
A reinforced concrete pad or compacted base sized for the full weight of the unit and the water, on ground graded to drain.
Above-ground, partial, or inground setting
Set on the pad, sunk partway into a deck, or dropped flush into the ground with a retaining edge and drainage.
Access and delivery
Clearing the path for delivery, and planning the side yard or fence section it comes through.
Surrounding patio and steps
Pavers, travertine, or a wood deck around the unit, with steps at the height you climb in.

Why people call about this.
There is no room for a pool
A swim spa gives real exercise water in a footprint closer to a patio than a pool.
You want to use it all year
It is heated and covered, so it is as useful on a cold February evening as in summer.
You swim for exercise
The current lets you swim continuously without turning, which a small pool cannot offer.
COLLEGE STATION, TX
Swim Spas in College Station: what’s different here.
College Station is the larger half of the Bryan–College Station metro, a city of about 120,500 people (2020 census) built around Texas A&M University. It grew fast after World War II and is still growing south, so yards range from decades-old lots near campus to new subdivisions toward Greens Prairie and Wellborn. Fences, decks, pools, and other residential projects are permitted through the City of College Station Planning & Development Services Building Division at 1101 Texas Avenue, HOA neighborhoods usually need architectural approval first, and utilities get marked through Texas811 before any digging.
Pools & Spas in College Station
The city requires a permit for any pool or spa deeper than 24 inches and a barrier around it, and on tight subdivision lots access for excavation equipment is often the first thing to plan.
The ground
Brazos County uplands are mostly claypan and clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry, so anything built on the ground here needs a properly excavated and compacted base and a plan for where the water goes.
Homes and lots
Older ranch homes with mature oaks in Southwood Valley and Emerald Forest, a large stock of student rentals near campus, and newer HOA subdivisions such as Castlegate and Pebble Creek on tighter, flatter lots.
