Pool Service in Rough Hollow, TX
Rough Hollow is the Lake Travis luxury corner of the Lakeway market — newer builds, lakefront or lake-view lots, and some of the most architecturally sophisticated pools in Central Texas. Vanishing edges, elevated spas, glass tile waterlines, PebbleTec finishes, fire-and-water features, and multi-zone automation are the norm here, not the exception. The Pool Police services Rough Hollow weekly, and our approach to these pools is fundamentally different from a standard subdivision service: pH-calibrated brushing on premium finishes, sequestrant management for the 500+ ppm calcium readings common on well-water properties, and careful cleaning of the integrated water features that make these pools architectural focal points. We know which Rough Hollow streets have well water versus LCRA-supplied water and adjust chemistry accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you specialize in luxury pools with vanishing edges and premium finishes?
Yes. Rough Hollow and the broader Lake Travis luxury market is where we've built the most experience with vanishing-edge catch basins, integrated spa circulation, PebbleTec and glass tile care, and multi-zone automation systems. These pools require meaningfully different cleaning techniques than a standard plaster rectangle, and our weekly service protocol accounts for every difference.
What's the calcium hardness in Rough Hollow well water?
Rough Hollow well-water properties commonly test calcium hardness in the 450–600+ ppm range, among the highest in the Austin metro. Without active management, that calcium precipitates as white scale on tile, inside heaters, on salt cells, and on vanishing-edge weirs. Our weekly service uses sequestrant chemistry and precise pH control to keep calcium in solution rather than letting it deposit.
Can you work around elevated decks and cliff-side equipment pads?
Yes. Many Rough Hollow pools sit on steep hillside or cliffside lots with equipment tucked into tight elevated pads. Our techs carry tools in rather than rolling carts and are used to working in these constrained spaces. We'll coordinate access with you and any gate systems before starting service.
