• Features: Tanning ledges, spas, waterfalls, LED lighting, automation, and saltwater equipment all add to the base price.

Customer Reviews
What Our Clients Say
Posted on MONIKA PRAKTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this company if you’re looking for pool remodeling. They redid my pool tiles on a fairly large and difficult infinity edge pool. BC Pools and the team were careful, quick, efficient, good communicators, and willing to back up their work once the pool gets up and running this summer. Very impressed by this crew and the commitment they put into their work!Posted on Bill GreetanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BC pools did a great job from start to finish. Ruben was very helpful in designing the pool layout in the limited space we had available. Highly recommend!Posted on Ryan TruesdaleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great customer service and quality work! Definitely recommend letting them serve you.Posted on Donna FurnasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best experience with backyard customs pools! They were the best team to work with in all my experience of working with a company! We had a budget and they helped us keep to our budget. We had an existing pool that needed to be removed and a lot of trees and ground that needed to be leveled and removed. We were expecting that a company would come in and tell us what they could do, but this company kept telling us it’s your pool and you can have what you want. We got everything and more than we expected! I would definitely recommend working with this company! They took a nightmare from our backyard to a dream! Reben was very helpful and worked with us everyday to make sure we got everything we hoped for.Posted on laura jonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish , working with the team at Back Yard Customs has been seamless . They are incredibly professional and adept in every aspect of design and installation . I highly recommend this company !Posted on Keith WaltersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The initial construction was great. I requested bids from several companies and they were the lowest cost and also gave me the shortest estimate for completion timeline. Once they started on the build, they stayed with it until it was done and delivered what they promised ahead of schedule. The custom designed pool and hot tub combo are beautiful. A year and a half after the pool was complete, I had an equipment failure and wasn't able to get it replaced under warranty due to some miscommunication with the company. The owner later reached out personally to make everything right. Highly recommend.Posted on Pam HudsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience w BC Pool was excellent. They tore out the gunite and had the new gunite done in matter of days. They had a great crew that got in there and got it done.Posted on CwTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Let’s Talk About Making It Happen.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Many people planning a pool project in Springdale want clear information first, so here are answers to the most frequently asked questions.
How much does it cost to build a pool in Springdale, AR?
Inground pool costs in Springdale typically range from $35,000 for a basic vinyl liner pool to $120,000 or more for a large custom gunite pool with premium features. Fiberglass pools generally fall in the $45,000–$75,000 range. Factors like lot slope, rocky soil (common in NWA), pool size, and added features like spas, waterfalls, and automation systems all affect your final number. We provide a free, itemized estimate after reviewing your property.
Do I need a permit to build a pool in Springdale, AR?
From permit approval to final fill, most inground pools take 10 to 16 weeks. Permitting alone takes two to four weeks. After that, excavation takes one to two weeks, followed by steel and plumbing, gunite application and curing (about four to five weeks), decking and tile, and final finishing. Spring is our busiest season, book early for the best timeline.

Spring is our busiest season, book early for the best timeline.
What type of pool is best for the Arkansas climate?
All three pool types, gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl liner, perform well in Arkansas. Gunite handles temperature swings well and can be resurfaced over time. Fiberglass resists algae growth, a benefit during hot, humid NWA summers. Vinyl liner pools are cost-effective for shaded yards. We recommend the best fit after seeing your property.
What is the difference between gunite and shotcrete?
Both are forms of sprayed, steel-reinforced concrete used to form a pool shell. Gunite uses a dry mix combined with water at the nozzle. Shotcrete uses pre-mixed wet concrete. Both produce a durable, structurally sound shell. We use shotcrete on most NWA builds due to its consistency and workability.
Can you build a pool on a sloped or rocky lot in Springdale?
Yes. Northwest Arkansas lots frequently involve slopes and subsurface rock, especially in older Springdale neighborhoods. We assess your site before construction and incorporate retaining walls, modified excavation plans, or engineered solutions as needed. Site conditions affecting scope are always disclosed before any additional cost is incurred.
Can you help with HOA pool approval in Springdale?
Yes. Many Springdale neighborhoods have HOAs with specific requirements for pool design, fencing, setbacks, and coping materials. We can help you navigate the HOA approval process with design specifications and documentation that meets your community’s standards.
What pool features can I add to my new inground pool?
Popular additions include tanning ledges, beach entries, attached spas, waterfalls, deck jets, LED lighting, saltwater chlorination systems, and automation controls. These can be integrated into the initial design or added during a future renovation.
Do you serve areas outside Springdale?
Yes. We serve all of Northwest Arkansas, including Fayetteville, Bentonville, Rogers, Bella Vista, Lowell, Centerton, Farmington, Tontitown, and Siloam Springs. We also take projects in parts of Missouri and Oklahoma.
