Laredo, TX · Webb County
JCW Pools builds new residential pools across Laredo. A build runs from the first walk of the yard through excavation, steel, plumbing, the gunite shell, tile and coping, decking and finally the equipment pad, sized to the pool, plumbed in and started up before we hand it over.
On the ground
Laredo is home. JCW Pools has worked on pools across the city since 2021: new builds on the north side, remodels on shells that have been in the ground since the sixties, and new equipment installed on pools of every age.
With months of hundred-degree afternoons, a Laredo pool is in use far longer than one further north. Equipment works harder to match: pumps, filters and heaters clock more hours, which is why sizing new equipment correctly matters more here than in a milder climate.
Local supply runs mineral-heavy. Scale at the tile line and cloudy water turn up even on well-kept pools, and heater exchangers and salt cells wear faster for it. It changes which interior finish is worth paying for.
Much of the city sits on shrink-swell clay over caliche. The clay moves with every wet and dry cycle: cracked decking, shifted coping, shells needing structural attention sooner than they would elsewhere. Caliche is also why excavation on a new build needs planning, not optimism.

How it runs
Sun, slope, setbacks, access and utilities. This decides the shape.
You approve a picture of your backyard, not a description of it.
Dig the shape, with a plan for the caliche and rock under a lot of Laredo lots.
Structural steel set, lines run and pressure tested while still exposed.
Gunite over the steel, then cure.
Waterline tile with a proper expansion joint, coping sloped to drain away.
Pump, filter and controls sized to the volume, then started and balanced.
Questions
A lot of lots here sit over caliche, a hard limestone layer that needs different equipment and more time than ordinary soil. It also affects how the shell is supported. That has to be in the excavation plan before digging starts, not discovered halfway through.
Because once the deck is poured, a leaking line means breaking concrete to reach it. Testing while the trenches are still open is the cheapest insurance on the whole job.
Yes. Pump, filter, heater and any automation are sized to the pool, plumbed in and started up as the last step of every build, not left for you to sort out separately.
