A Team Built on Steady Work and Long-Term Experience
Above Ground Pools began in 1983 when Tommy Thompson set out to create a service homeowners could trust for pool installation and outdoor improvements. Over the years, we have helped families across Killeen, Temple, Belton, Harker Heights, Nolanville, and Copperas Cove with above ground pools, decks, patios, and fencing designed for everyday use. With more than 40 years of experience, we know how to manage layout, permits, codes, and installation steps that are often difficult for homeowners to navigate.
Our approach is simple. Tommy supervises every project, keeping communication clear and ensuring each stage follows the plan. We complete all work in-house, which means homeowners never deal with subcontractors or shifting crews. This consistent structure keeps timelines efficient, allowing us to complete projects in days rather than months.
We also support customers by handling the tasks that create stress, such as obtaining permits, meeting code requirements, grading the site, and coordinating all phases of installation. Whether we are installing an above ground pool, building a deck, adding fencing, or laying a patio, we work with organized steps that create strong results.
Our services help families build affordable outdoor spaces without hiring multiple contractors. We specialize in above ground pools and the upgrades that support them. Homeowners often choose us when they want to transform underused yards, increase safety, create better spaces for gatherings, or complete repairs and upgrades quickly.
We continue to serve the region with clear communication, owner involvement, payment flexibility through HFS Financial, and free local estimates within a 20 mile radius.

Owner-Led Projects
Owner-Led Projects
For more than four decades, Tommy Thompson has remained fully involved in each job. This direct oversight keeps decisions clear and ensures the work stays organized. Homeowners always know who is handling their project, which removes confusion and creates stronger results. Our owner-led approach has helped families across Killeen and nearby areas complete pool and outdoor improvements with confidence.
Affordable Outdoor Upgrades
We help homeowners access cost-effective pool and outdoor solutions without sacrificing structure or safety. Above ground pools are an affordable alternative to in-ground builds, and our deck, patio, and fencing services support those installations. This makes it easier for families to improve their yard without hiring multiple crews or managing complicated steps on their own.
Fast, Efficient Timelines
We complete installations in days rather than months, helping homeowners use their outdoor spaces sooner. Because our crew handles everything from grading to finishing, we avoid delays that often occur when several different teams are involved. This approach works especially well for families preparing for seasonal use or gatherings.
No Subcontractors
Every project is completed by our team, which allows us to maintain consistent workmanship and communication. Homeowners do not need to coordinate between different crews or manage conflicting timelines. This simplification is one of the reasons customers continue choosing our services throughout the Killeen area.
Turnkey Outdoor Solutions
We solve the gap many homeowners face when trying to hire separate companies for pools, decks, patios, and fencing. Our ability to handle all stages of outdoor improvement provides a streamlined experience and a finished result that functions well together.
Clear, Helpful Customer Communication
We make sure homeowners understand each step of their project. From site evaluation to finishing, we explain the plan and answer questions so families can make informed decisions. This commitment supports long-term trust and smooth project flow.
