Austin pool, fence and patio leads: 1,191 big back yards and the new pools behind them
1,191 homes in Austin's 78704 have a back yard in the largest fifth of the ZIP and no pool; 353 have a recent pool that needs a fence. Pool builders, fence and paver crews in Austin, TX — here is how to find them.
A pool is the biggest job most Austin homeowners will ever buy for their back yard, and it pulls three more trades behind it: the fence around it, the pavers or deck beside it, and the landscaping after the excavator leaves. Public records show where each of those jobs is. These are the 78704 numbers as of 7 October 2026, out of 8,815 homes.
1,191 back yards with room and no pool
From USDA aerial imagery we measure each home’s back yard and check for a pool. Ranking every yard in the ZIP, 1,191 homes have a back yard in the largest fifth of 78704 and no pool visible — the biggest at about 11,500 sq ft. That is the pool builder’s list: room, no pool, and a dated photo to prove both.
353 new pools that need a fence
353 homes have a pool permit from the City of Austin in the last couple of years (270) or a pool that appeared between two aerial surveys (88). Every one of them needs a barrier around the water, and the top of the list — a pool permitted in August 2026 — scores 100 for fencing.
280 homes for pavers and decking
The same new pools, plus new builds, give 280 homes with evidence for pavers. A pool without decking is a half-finished back yard; the permit date tells you the timing.
What not to do
- Do not knock on the door of a pool permitted last week; the pool builder is still there. Give it a month.
- Do not imply you have seen their back yard. Say “aerial imagery”, which is public and dated.
- Do not call or text. A postcard that names the permit month and offers a quote is enough.
