Building in Celina: Ridge Outdoor Living designs and builds custom pools and outdoor living spaces in Celina. Projects start at $75,000, and most complete backyards fall between $100,000 and $200,000. We handle the design, HOA approval and the permit with the City of Celina.
Celina is where much of North Texas' new-home growth is heading, and most of the yards we see here are brand new. That means a clean slate and the chance to design the whole backyard at once.
Building a pool in Celina
In master-planned communities like Light Farms, Mustang Lakes and Cambridge Crossing, HOA design guidelines shape what can be built and where. We review them up front and include the HOA submittal in the design process.
New lots usually have new fences, fresh sod and irrigation, and sometimes tight side-yard access. We plan the dig, equipment access and restoration so the rest of the yard is protected.
Like much of Collin County, Celina sits on expansive clay. The steel-reinforced shell is built for the site's soil, and we grade and drain the deck so water moves away from the house and the pool.
What Celina homeowners ask us for
- A first pool and spa in a new backyard
- Tanning ledges and in-water loungers
- Covered patios and outdoor kitchens for summer shade
- Clean geometric designs that suit new architecture
- Turf-and-paver patterns and low-maintenance landscape
How a Celina project works
- Consultation at your home. We walk the yard, check access, slope, trees and utilities, and talk through budget.
- 3D design. You see the finished backyard, with your materials, before anything is built.
- HOA and permit. We prepare the HOA submittal if needed and pull the permit with the City of Celina.
- Construction. A set schedule, regular updates and city inspections at each stage.
- Startup. We start up the pool and walk you through every feature.

Questions from Celina homeowners
Can you build a pool in a brand-new Celina backyard?
Yes. We plan access and protect new fences and landscaping, and we coordinate HOA approval and the City of Celina permit.
How long does a pool take in Celina?
In dry weather, most pools take about 6 to 8 weeks of construction. Permits usually take 1 to 3 weeks. After a heavy rain, we wait 2 to 3 days for the soil to dry before bringing machinery back in, so rainy stretches, mostly in fall, winter and spring, add time.
