How do I get a quote from Asante Pools?

Call Asante Pools & Outdoor Living at (210) 300-2466 or submit the quote form on our contact page. Paul or Emily Nakalanga will follow up to schedule a walkthrough of your property in Bulverde, Spring Branch or the surrounding Hill Country. Quotes are free and carry no obligation. Seeing the lot in person is necessary because slope and rock conditions drive the scope.

Who will I be working with at Asante Pools?

Asante Pools is family owned and operated. Paul Nakalanga, the owner, leads design and construction and brings 8+ years of hands-on pool building experience. Emily Nakalanga, Paul’s wife, oversees day-to-day operations including scheduling and client communication. You deal with the owners directly rather than a rotating sales team.

Do you service pools you did not build?

Yes. Asante Pools & Outdoor Living takes on repair, equipment installation, renovation and weekly cleaning work on existing pools regardless of who originally built them, throughout Bulverde, Spring Branch and the Texas Hill Country. Call (210) 300-2466 with your pool type and the problem you are seeing and we will advise on next steps.

What areas does Asante Pools serve?

Bulverde and Spring Branch are the core market for Asante Pools & Outdoor Living. We serve Canyon Lake, New Braunfels, Boerne and Blanco as a regular service radius, and take on construction projects in North San Antonio, Kerrville, Fredericksburg and Johnson City on a project-by-project basis. Call (210) 300-2466 to confirm coverage for your address.

What kinds of pools does Asante Pools build?

Asante Pools & Outdoor Living builds custom gunite in-ground pools, including freeform lagoon designs and geometric designs, engineered for the Texas Hill Country landscape around Bulverde and Spring Branch. Gunite allows the shell to be shaped to an irregular or sloped lot rather than forcing the lot to fit a pre-made shell.

What does a pool renovation from Asante Pools include?

Pool renovation and remodeling from Asante Pools covers new tile, coping, plaster and finish work, decking, and feature additions on an existing pool. Renovation is a good fit when the shell is structurally sound but the surfaces, waterline tile or surrounding deck have aged out. We work on renovations across Bulverde, Spring Branch and Canyon Lake.

What is included in weekly pool cleaning?

Weekly pool service from Asante Pools & Outdoor Living covers chemical balancing, brushing the walls and steps, skimming debris, and checking that the pump, filter and automation are running correctly. Weekly maintenance is a smaller part of our business than construction and renovation, but it is a real service we provide in the Bulverde and Spring Branch area.

What pool equipment work do you handle?

Asante Pools installs and configures pool equipment including variable-speed pumps, salt systems, automation controllers and heaters for homeowners in Bulverde, Spring Branch and the surrounding Hill Country. Equipment upgrades are often the fastest way to cut a pool’s operating cost without touching the shell or decking.

Why does building a pool in the Hill Country differ from elsewhere in Texas?

Hill Country lots around Bulverde and Spring Branch frequently sit on limestone and caliche, often on acreage with meaningful slope. That combination affects excavation, site access for equipment, and whether retaining walls are needed. Asante Pools evaluates ground conditions and grade on site before scoping a project, because those two factors move a Hill Country pool budget more than finish selections do.

Do you build pools on sloped or hillside lots?

Yes. Sloped and hillside lots are common across Bulverde, Spring Branch and Boerne, and Asante Pools & Outdoor Living builds on them regularly. A graded lot changes access for excavation equipment and may require retaining structures. Paul Nakalanga walks the property before quoting so the grade and access route are accounted for in the scope rather than discovered mid-build.

Does hard well water affect a Hill Country pool?

Many Hill Country properties around Bulverde and Spring Branch are on well water, which is typically harder than municipal supply. Water chemistry affects plaster surfaces and scale accumulation on equipment over time, which is why Asante Pools checks water source during a walkthrough and factors it into equipment and maintenance recommendations for each property.

What are the Asante Pools values?

Asante Pools & Outdoor Living operates on three commitments: Quality, meaning superior craftsmanship in every detail; Communication, meaning transparent updates throughout your project; and Integrity, meaning honest, dependable service you can count on. These are the standards Paul and Emily Nakalanga hold the crew to on every Hill Country project.

Where does the name Asante come from?

The company’s roots trace back to Uganda, Africa. “Asante” is the Swahili word for “thank you,” chosen by founder Paul Nakalanga to reflect gratitude for every client who trusts the company with their vision. Paul learned pool construction from his wife Emily’s father, Mark, before founding Asante Pools & Outdoor Living.

What are your business hours?

Asante Pools & Outdoor Living is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with Saturday appointments available by arrangement and Sunday closed. Call (210) 300-2466 during business hours to reach Paul or Emily about a new project, a repair on an existing pool, or weekly service in the Bulverde and Spring Branch area.
