While Walker Pools and Spas mostly buiids swimming pools in Waxahachie and Midlothian, we often get referrals from satisfied customers that result in building pools in areas outside of Ellis County, such as Highland Park, Plano, North Dallas, Ft. Worth, Coppell, Mansfield, Grand Prairie, Cedar Hill, Irving, and areas as far away as Quanah and Mexia, Texas.  

Scott Walker began working in the swimming pool industry over 30 years ago when he and his employees started installing swimming pool decks for swimming pool companies across the metroplex.  Curiosity and a desire to expand his company led Scott to learn all aspects of the swimming pool business, and before long, several of Scott’s friends and acquaintances approached him about building pools for them.  They wanted someone they knew and trusted to build their swimming pools, since the industry has long been known for its fly-by-night pool companies.  Scott did such a remarkable job of designing and constructing swimming pools for these people that one referral led to another, and Scott was soon building pools not only in the Ellis County area, but throughout the metroplex as well. 

Walker Pools began building swimming pools in Ellis County in 1978 when there were no other swimming pool companies in Ellis County.  Scott, who grew up in Ellis County, saw the potential for the swimming pool business in the Ellis County area even then.  Today there are several pool companies in the Ellis County area, and some of our competitors are former employees who got their start in the pool business by working for Scott years ago.

We have seen the dynamics of Ellis County change dramatically over the past 30 years, and we have watched pool companies across the metroplex come and go.   Because most pools are built during the spring and summer months, many swimming pool companies, especially those with large offices and a number of employees, eventually fail due to the fluctuating economy which can sometimes mean lean periods during the fall and winter months.  At Walker Pools, we still operate as a family business and are committed to keeping our overhead low, so that we can offer our customers quality swimming pools at competitive prices.  

Throughout the years Walker Pools has maintained a reputation for honesty, integrity, and friendly customer service.  We recognize and appreciate that it is because of our customers who put their faith and trust in us that Walker Pools continues to operate today.
