our history: always evolving
In early 2016, Scott Aston left his corporate-world career to start Edgewater Pools. Over the course of the next 9 years, the company grew quickly on the back of its high-quality swimming pool projects in Northwest Austin.
When the COVID era hit, the company was poised to explode due to its strong operational infrastructure and solid pool of subcontractors (pun intended). Edgewater Pools took on more projects than ever and although build times lengthened due to supply constraints, we continued to deliver amazing pools. The big freeze in February 2021 presented even more challenges for the company as we continued to build pools while also assisting many customers with finding equipment and restarting their pools once they thawed.
During our growth, we've adopted a full-service approach to our projects. We've built a ton of pergolas, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. We've even built some pizza ovens, grottos, and slides. We've transitioned our standard equipment set (pumps, filters, UV, robot, etc) to keep up with technology and deliver the best experience to our pool owners. We continue to offer assistance with irrigation, grass, and landscaping so our customers don't have to manage those projects.
In 2022, the company doubled down on technology, adopting project management software specific to the swimming pool construction industry, and transformed how we communicate with our teams and customers. Scott Aston also became one of handful of beta testers for technology with Pentair, making him an expert in automation among his peers.
In 2024, Scott Barasch joined the company as Scott Aston's partner. Having worked together in the past, these two former tech careers sought to realign Edgewater Pools' priorities and strategy as the post-COVID era began and the economy restricted lending due to high interest rates.
We're proud of the backyards we've changed over the years. Whether it's a cabana, a spa, a negative edge pool, or a fire pit, we're honored and blessed to have touched so many families.
We hope to have the opportunity to help you design and build the backyard of your dreams.
Edgewater Pools, LLC is proud to operate in the State of Texas!

No secrets, no hidden agenda. There's too much money on the line not to be an open book.
