Serving Austin, Texas & The Surrounding Communities

For more than 40 years, Cascade Custom Pools has earned a reputation as one of the premier pool builders in Austin and the surrounding Hill Country. Founded in 1982 by Hank Thompson, our company has remained a locally owned, family-operated business committed to hands-on craftsmanship and personal service. Hank and his wife, Theresa, have lived in the Bee Cave–Dripping Springs area for over four decades, and their deep roots in the community reflect the pride and care we bring to every project.

In 2008, their son T.J. joined the business, bringing fresh creativity, design expertise, and a client-first approach that continues to shape our growth today. Together, the Thompson family has led Cascade to become one of the most trusted names in custom pools and outdoor living.

We are proud to serve homeowners across Lakeway, Westlake, Dripping Springs, Spicewood, Rollingwood, Bee Cave, Volente, Steiner Ranch, and other communities in and around Austin.
