01 · Who We Are

A luxury pool builder, fluent in DFW.

Sebby Pools designs and builds custom pools and outdoor living across Dallas–Fort Worth, from the team behind Sebby Homes. One team, one standard of finish, from the house to the water's edge.

Seb Pessy · Founder

Design-Led

Shape, depth, hardscape, lighting, and planting resolved together with your home, not bolted on after.

A Standard of Finish

Clean coping lines, true tile layouts, flush edges. Details most pool builders don't chase.

Single Accountability

One builder of record, one schedule, one point of contact from excavation to the first swim.

DFW Fluency

Local knowledge of soils, codes, permitting, and what each neighborhood expects of a backyard.

02 · What You're Paying For

The water you see. The build you don't.

I want to be straight about what you'd actually be getting for it.

Most pools get sold on what shows: tile, stone, the color of the water. Those matter. But what decides whether a pool is still right in 20 years is what's buried: the structural shell, the plumbing and hydraulics, and the equipment designed before we dig. That's what makes a pool quiet, efficient, easy to maintain, and free of surprises.

I came up remodeling. I've opened too many things up to see what happens when that part gets skipped. The finishes are the easy part.

"I build for the part you can't see."

03 · Your Pool

Two ways in. One standard.

NEW POOL

Custom Build

A new pool designed around your yard, your home, and how you live.

Site walk to read access, grade, and sightlines before design begins
Shape, depth, hardscape, and lighting designed as one
Decks, pergolas, and outdoor living planned with the pool
One schedule, one builder of record, one point of contact

POOL REMODEL

Renovation · Resurface · Upgrade

Give the pool you have a new standard of finish, without starting over.

Coping, tile, and surface renovations done to a custom standard
Equipment, plumbing, and automation brought up to date
Lighting and hardscape refreshed to match your home
Your day-to-day point of contact, through handover

One builder. One standard. New build or remodel.

04 · Pool Remodel

Modernize your pool. Keep the shell.

The shell is the most expensive and most disruptive part of a pool, and it is rarely the part that looks dated. Most of what ages a pool sits on top of it: the coping, the deck, the tile, the finish, the light. Those can all change while the shell stays.

Pool before remodel: brick coping and aggregate deck — Before

Coping & Deck

Replace dated coping and tired concrete with natural stone or porcelain. New lines around the same water are the biggest visual change you can make, and the shell stays untouched.

Tile & Interior Finish

New waterline tile and a new interior finish, from deep slate to bright aqua, change how the water reads without altering the shape of the pool.

Light

Color-changing LED lighting, niche and wall lights, and landscape uplighting turn the pool into the centerpiece after dark.

Water & Fire

Add deck jets, bubblers, a sheer descent, or a fire bowl at the edge. Features are added around the shell, not by rebuilding it.

Edge & Landscape

New planting, turf, stepping stones, and clean borders replace the aggregate and brick that date a backyard in a single glance.

Equipment & Automation

New variable-speed pumps, efficient heating, and one-panel automation make an older pool quiet, cheaper to run, and controllable from your phone.

05 · New Pool · Backyard Living

More than a place to swim. A place to live.

A great pool is designed with the yard around it. We plan the whole backyard as a set of spaces for swimming, lounging, dining, and gathering, so the pool becomes the center of how your family spends time at home.

Swim

The pool itself: shape, depth, and a lounging ledge sized for how you actually use it.

Lounge

Sun deck, sunken seating, and shaded daybeds placed where the afternoon light falls.

Dine

An outdoor kitchen and dining area close enough to the water to feel connected, far enough to stay dry.

Gather

Fire bowls and seating walls that keep the backyard in use after the sun goes down.

Shade

Pergolas, cabanas, and screens that make summer afternoons comfortable.

Light & Sound

Layered lighting and zoned audio, controlled from the same app as the pool.

Safety by design

Beautiful, and built to protect.

Safety is designed in from the first drawing, not added at the end. We build in layers so the yard stays open, easy to enjoy, and safe for the whole family.

Automatic safety cover

An automatic cover from Aquamatic closes the pool at the push of a key. Aquamatic states its Hydramatic cover is UL tested to exceed ASTM F1346 for child safety.

Barrier & gates

Code-compliant fencing and self-closing, self-latching gates, designed into the yard so they look intentional.

Alarms & interlocks

Door and gate alarms, and an automation panel that blocks water features while the cover is closed.

Your family's plan

Safety is layered, and no single device replaces supervision. We walk you through every layer at handover.

Safety cover and barrier requirements vary by city. We design to your local code and confirm every detail with you before building.

06 · Pool Automation

One panel runs your pool, and the rest of your backyard.

We install Pentair automation so pumps, heat, lighting, chemistry, and water features work together and answer to your phone.

IntelliCenter

Control Panel & Load Center

The panel can serve as your load center instead of a separate breaker box, with capacity up to 150 amp. Built-in relays switch pumps, lights, and other circuits. Rated for outdoor and coastal conditions, and in the field for more than 20 years.

Phone Control

Run It From Anywhere

Turn equipment on and off from your phone and set schedules that run on their own. Guests visiting while you travel? Switch the slide or fountains on for them without anyone touching the panel.

Water Features

Waterfalls, Slides, Bubblers

Automatic actuator valves let you turn each water feature on or off remotely or on a timer. The same panel can also switch yard floodlights, ceiling fans, or any other circuit, even ones that have nothing to do with the pool.

Cover Card

Features That Can't Flood Your Cover

With the optional cover card, the panel knows whether the automatic cover is open. While it is closed, waterfalls, slides, deck jets, and laminars cannot be turned on, preventing an expensive mistake.

IntelliChem

Water Chemistry That Looks After Itself

Probes read pH and ORP in a flow cell. The controller adjusts the salt cell and injects acid when pH runs high, so the water stays balanced between visits.

IntelliBrite

Color Lighting From the App

Set scenes and colors from your phone or the panel. Lighting transformers are mounted outside the panel for a safe, code-friendly installation.

Pumps & Heat

Variable-Speed Pumps and Heater Control

Pumps connect to the panel over a simple two-wire link and run on your schedule. The panel also controls heat pumps, including heat-only and heat/cool models. Homes without full automation can still get app control through a Wi-Fi pump.

Always Current

Over-the-Air Updates

Once the panel is online, Pentair can send updates directly to it. A prompt appears on the panel when one is ready, and a tap installs it.

09 · Questions

Questions, answered.

What owners ask most about building a custom pool with Sebby Pools in Dallas–Fort Worth.

Can you modernize my pool without rebuilding it?

In most cases, yes. The shell is the structural part of the pool, and the things that make a pool look dated (coping, deck, tile, interior finish, lighting, features, and equipment) can be replaced around it. A site visit tells us what your pool can take.

Can a new pool include a safety cover?

Yes. We design automatic safety covers into new pools from the start, alongside code-compliant barriers and gates, and the automation panel can lock out water features while the cover is closed.

What areas does Sebby Pools build in?

Sebby Pools builds custom pools across Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas, including Highland Park, Preston Hollow, University Park, Southlake, Westlake, and Uptown. Tell us where your lot is and we'll tell you honestly whether we can take it on.

Do you build pools for existing homes?

Yes. Sebby Pools builds new pools for existing homes, renovates existing pools, and designs pools together with new Sebby homes. The process starts with a conversation and a walk of your site, where we read the land together before design begins.

What makes Sebby Pools different from a production pool builder?

Sebby Pools is a design-led custom builder with single accountability (one builder, one schedule, one point of contact), not a volume builder working from a catalog of fixed shapes. Design, hardscape, and budget are resolved together before construction, and the finish is held to the same standard as a Sebby home.

How long does a custom pool take?

It depends on the size and complexity of the pool, the site, and city permitting. We give you a realistic schedule during design and preconstruction, and you can follow every phase live in the six9 Builder portal.

How much does a custom pool cost?

Pricing depends on the lot, the size and shape of the pool, and the level of finish. It is resolved transparently during design and preconstruction rather than quoted from a template. A conversation and a site walk is the fastest way to a real number.

How does the Sebby Pools process work?

Five stages: Design (shape, materials, lighting, and budget as one), Engineering & Permits, Build (disciplined site leadership with regular owner updates), Finish-Out (the invisible craft of coping, tile, equipment, and light), and Handover (final walkthrough, systems training, and responsive care).
