Four Seasons Lawn + Landscaping designs and builds custom pools and spas for Frisco homeowners, together with the decking, outdoor living spaces, lighting and landscaping that complete the backyard. We have been building outdoor spaces in North Texas since 2001.

Pools for Frisco Backyards

Many Frisco homes are newer, with HOA standards and backyards that were left as a blank slate by the builder. That makes Frisco a great place for a complete backyard plan: the pool, deck, shade, outdoor kitchen and landscaping designed at the same time so everything fits the lot and the neighborhood rules.

• Custom pools and spas with tanning ledges, beach entries and attached spas
• Water and fire features
• Pool decking in stone, pavers or concrete
• Outdoor living: pergolas, covered patios and outdoor kitchens
• Landscaping, drainage and lighting as part of the same design

What Frisco Requires for a Residential Pool

Frisco has some of the most detailed residential pool requirements in the area. A few that shape the design:

• A permit and plan review are required for in-ground pools, above-ground pools, spas and splash pads.
• The water’s edge must be at least 3 feet from any property line.
• Depth near the house is limited. The pool must keep a 1:1 ratio from the nearest foundation and from retaining walls, unless an engineer’s letter is provided.
• The shallow end can be no deeper than 4 feet, and pools deeper than 5 feet need a way to exit from the deep area.
• Natural drainage must be maintained, and water cannot be directed onto a neighbor’s lot.
• Pools are not allowed in floodways or the 100-year floodplain.
• Fencing is inspected. Temporary safety fencing is required early in construction, and permanent fencing, gates and latches must be in place before plaster.
• Five inspections are required, from steel and grounding through the pool final.

We design to these rules from the start, prepare the submittal and schedule the inspections, so there are no surprises mid-build. Many Frisco neighborhoods also require HOA approval, which we prepare as well.

Watering the Landscape Around Your Pool

Frisco has a seasonal watering schedule: one day a week in spring and fall, two days a week in summer, and no turf watering with sprinklers from November through March, with no automatic irrigation between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. from April through October. Drip irrigation can be used as needed. We use drip in beds and choose plants that do well on that schedule.

Start With a Free Design Consultation

A designer walks your yard, learns how you want to use it, and sends a first design draft within about 72 hours. Fall and winter are the best time to design and permit a pool for next summer. Request a consultation or call (214) 504-4250. See our pool services, Frisco page and recent projects.
