Adding a Spa to an Existing Pool in Bridlewood, Flower Mound, Texas
Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing builds spa additions for existing pools in Bridlewood, Flower Mound, Texas, where the homeowners association's recorded design guidelines allow one spa or hot tub per lot, in a side or rear yard and screened from public view.
Bridlewood's 11 neighborhoods, among them Remington Park, Steeplechase, Coventry, Balmoral and The Reserve, share two community pools, one behind the Amenity Center at 5000 Par Drive and one beside the Bridlewood Golf Club clubhouse on West Windsor. Bridlewood Elementary on Remington Park Drive opened in 1998 and Downing Middle on Bridlewood Boulevard in 2002. A free estimate can be requested at any time of day; we can look at where a spa would fit, what the committee wants to see and the Town's spa permit.

Large homes on lots of a quarter acre and more
The Town's parcel records give a year built for 1,213 parcels inside Bridlewood's subdivision records, from 1996 to 2016, with a median of 1999. The median home has 3,613 square feet of building and 938 (77.3%) have 3,000 or more; the median parcel is 0.2933 acre, 902 (74.4%) reach a quarter acre and 100 (8.2%) half an acre. The HOA's own house-size ranges include 3,800–5,500 square feet in Steeplechase and 4,600–6,800 in The Reserve. Of the two Census block groups lying mostly inside, block group 1 of tract 217.48 has 622 units, all detached and owner-occupied, and a median home value of $737,900 (±$61,321) in 2020–2024 survey estimates, and block group 2 of tract 217.49 has a median value of $882,200 (±$76,114); those are the block groups' figures.
Pool permits on Bridlewood addresses
The Town's permit search holds 678 swimming-pool permits on Bridlewood's residential addresses since 1999, 673 of them for new pools, or about 51.9 for every 100 residential address points. Most came early: 541 in 1999–2005, with a peak of 105 in 2000, against 27 in 2020–2026. A permit isn't a pool, and the search doesn't say whether a pool has a spa.
Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing will look at how a spa would sit beside your pool, with the lot's lines in mind.

(469) 526-3886The HOA's recorded rules for hot tubs and spas
Bridlewood Homeowners Association's Amended and Restated Design Guidelines were recorded with the Denton County Clerk on December 7, 2023, replacing the original guidelines in full. Almost every exterior project that visibly changes a Bridlewood home or lot needs the Architectural Review Committee's approval before work begins, with no exemptions or automatic approvals.
On hot tubs and spas, the guidelines keep a spa out of public view and limit it to side and rear yards, one per lot. Piped drainage to the golf course, common areas or neighboring lots isn't allowed; gazebos, covers, trellises and decking get their own review; all spa equipment is screened on every side by a cedar privacy fence or shrubs; and a spa may not be left to go stagnant. The application wants a catalogue clipping or photo, a description, the color, material and dimensions, and a plot plan showing the equipment, existing structures and property.
The pool page, and which page applies
A separate page on pools keeps them and their decks out of easements and at least 5 feet from any property line, wants pool equipment next to the house behind a 6-foot cedar privacy fence unless the committee agrees otherwise, and asks that excess soil leave the community and that overflow never run onto neighbors, the golf course or greenbelts. The committee won't review a pool application without the matching Town permit application and detailed plans. The guidelines don't say which page governs a spa built onto an existing pool, so ask the committee.
Meetings and appeals
Applications reach the HOA at least 24 hours before the scheduled meeting, and the committee may take up to 30 days from that meeting to decide. Residents of The Reserve and Windsor Heights also belong to their own associations.
Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing will help you assemble the plot plan and details the committee asks for.

(469) 526-3886PD-30, the 20-foot line and the Town's spa permit
Ordinance 20-97 of 1997, the Town's ordinance for Planned Development 30, covers about 789 acres, records the developer's agreement to build an eighteen-hole golf course meeting PGA standards, and requires a mandatory homeowners' association; about 86.5% of Bridlewood's records lie inside it. On lots that back onto Glenwick Estates, Pecan Acres, Wildwood Estates, Chinn Chapel Place and Forest Hills Estates it sets a 40-foot rear setback, inside which no swimming pool may come closer than 20 feet to the rear property line. The Town's pool code counts hot tubs and spas as swimming pools, but PD-30 doesn't say whether its 20-foot line reaches a spa, so on a buffer lot ask Building Inspections.
Even a self-contained spa needs a Town permit, because inspectors check its electrical or plumbing work. The spa permit costs $250 under the fees in force from October 1, 2026, with a $120 plan review that counts toward it, and since the committee won't look at a pool application without the Town's, the Town paperwork comes first. Our page on how to add a spa to an existing pool covers the code's depth, seat, heater and cover rules, with published prices.

(469) 526-3886Gasil sands, Birome soils and a new spa shell
The USDA soil survey maps 14 soil map units inside Bridlewood's records. By main soil, Gasil covers about 25.4% of the land, Birome 21.9%, Callisburg 20.3% and Wilson 18.8%. Only about 22.1% of the land falls in the shrink-swell “Very limited” class, mostly Wilson clay loam (linear extensibility 7.5); the town-wide share is 33.9%. The Birome soils are another matter: NRCS rates them “Very limited” for slab homes and for concrete drives and walks, mainly because they are too acid, with a High risk of corroding concrete.
A spa built onto a pool is new concrete with its own plumbing; in the 2025 Dallas–Fort Worth price figures, adding one calls for structural work and new plumbing but leaves the pool itself standing. For the structure, the American Shotcrete Association defers to a local engineer who knows pools and spas. NRCS ratings describe soils in general, not any single lot.
The golf course, two HOA pools and Spring Lake Park
The Town's records date the Golf Club at Bridlewood and its Club House to 1996. The HOA's Par Drive pool has a large main pool, a kiddie pool and shade canopies, and the Windsor Pool a main pool, a baby pool, a cabana and the swim team, both open May 1 to October 31. Unlike a backyard spa, those shared pools fall under the Town's public-pool article, and the Town's permit search holds the 1999 permit for the Par Drive pool, finaled on September 28 that year.
Spring Lake Park at 4815 Windmill Lane has a fishing pond and a gazebo, and the HOA adds an amphitheater. About 1.84 miles of Town trail run inside the records, about 568 meters of it equestrian trail, and the Town's Fire Station No. 4 on Bridlewood Boulevard opened in 2010.
A spa with other work on the pool
Planning the spa alongside a resurfacing means the pool is drained only once. A new pebble or quartz interior, spa resurfacing, water features, waterline tile and coping can join the job, and Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing handles them alongside its pool resurfacing in Flower Mound. Next door on the Town's map grid, our page on tanning ledges and pool steps in Wellington covers that association's committee, and our page on diving pool conversion in Timber Creek covers a neighborhood where the Town alone reviews most pool work.
From plot plan to first soak
Check the lot
A side or rear yard, out of public view, at least 5 feet from the lines and out of easements, one spa per lot; on a buffer lot, PD-30’s 20-foot rear line too.
Town application first
The spa permit application and detailed plans go to the Town, since the committee reviews only with them in hand.
Submit to the committee
The catalogue clipping or photo, color, material, dimensions and plot plan reach the HOA at least 24 hours before the meeting.
Build across your own lot
Access is approved before work starts, and excess soil leaves the community unless the HOA agrees otherwise in writing.
Screen and drain properly
The equipment is screened on all sides by cedar fence or shrubs, and no pipe carries water toward the golf course or a neighbor.
Inspection, finish and first fill
The Town inspects the electrical and plumbing work, the spa and pool take their finish, and both are filled and started up.
