Diving Pool Conversion in Timber Creek, Flower Mound, Texas
Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing carries out diving pool conversions in Timber Creek, Flower Mound, Texas, where 72.0% of the parcels in the Town's records were built before 1990: the pool is drained, part of the deep end is filled in to nondiving depths, and the whole shell gets a new finish.
Timber Creek grew out of the Flower Mound New Town that the Town zoned in 1971. Spring Meadow Lane, Timber Creek Road, Meyerwood Lane and Willow Run Drive carry the most addresses, the neighborhood takes in part of Leonard and Helen Johns Community Park at 1850 Timber Creek Road, and Timber Creek Elementary, opened in 1978, stands just outside it. Ask for a free estimate at any hour, and bring the pool's current depths; we'll go over the Town's permit and the clay under the shell with you.

Homes built from 1974 through the 1990s
The Town's parcel records, which carry the appraisal district's year built, give a year for 1,790 parcels inside Timber Creek's subdivision records. The earliest is 1974 and the median 1983. Of the 1,790, 434 went up in the 1970s, 854 in the 1980s and 499 in the 1990s, which puts 1,288 of them before 1990. The median home has 1,776 square feet of building on a median parcel of 0.185 acre. The one Census block group lying mostly inside, block group 1 of tract 217.22, is more mixed: in 2020–2024 survey estimates only 447 of its 850 units are detached houses, and its median home value is $340,300 (±$29,030).
Pools that predate the online permit records
The Town's public permit search starts with its 1999 series of swimming-pool permits, so a pool built along with one of these homes left no trace there. Since then it shows 100 pool permits on Timber Creek's residential addresses, 99 for new pools and 64 of them from 1999–2005, or about 5.1 for every 100 residential address points against 51.9 in Bridlewood; a permit is not the same as a pool. No public record says whether any Timber Creek pool was built for diving, so a conversion starts with measuring the pool you have.
Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing will talk through what those measurements mean for a shallower deep end.

(469) 526-3886Who reviews the work: the Town, and one small association
For most of the neighborhood, Flower Mound itself is the only reviewer. The Town's subdivision layer marks 17 of the 18 residential Timber Creek records “NO” for HOA requirements. The one marked “YES” is Timber Creek Park Addition Phase 7, 50 lots recorded in 1994 and the only Timber Creek entry on the Town's list of homeowner associations; its rules were not found in public, so owners on those lots should ask it first. The Town doesn't enforce deed restrictions either, and its pool packet tells owners to check them before building.
The Town's permit for altering a pool
Under Flower Mound's amended pool code, permits must be in hand before a pool or spa is altered or repaired, or a system the code covers is converted. The Town took up the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code through Ordinance No. 31-25 of September 15, 2025, and one of its amendments sets the diving water envelope at the deeper of two figures, the code's own table or the board maker's specification. Building Inspections can say how a conversion is filed.
Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing will lay out the Town's steps before the pool is drained.

(469) 526-3886Depths after the deep end is filled
The figures here are the 2021 code's; the Town applies the 2024 edition with its own amendments, so check them with its plan reviewer. A pool without diving equipment is Type O, and no board may go back on one. Its shallow end measures from 33 inches to 4 feet at the shallowest point, any part still deeper than 5 feet needs its own way out, and a rope and float line spans the pool 1 to 2 feet on the shallow side of the first slope break. Our page on diving pool conversion sets out the slope rules and diving envelopes in full, with published prices.

(469) 526-3886Shrink-swell clay and an emptied shell
The USDA soil survey maps 19 soil map units inside Timber Creek's records. About 40.1% of the mapped land is in map units whose main soil NRCS calls “Very limited” for homes without basements, shrink-swell being one reason, against 33.9% for Flower Mound as a whole. Heiden clay, on about 6.1% of the land, has a linear extensibility of 12.2 percent. Wilson soils, on about 17.2%, reach 7.5 and carry a High rating for corrosion of concrete, while the commoner Konsil and Callisburg fine sandy loams stop at 4.5.
National figures from 2024 describe a conversion as draining, filling in and resurfacing, with no excavating, so the shell sits empty during the work. A Houston geotechnical engineer's 2007 advice for pools on expansive clay asks for plumbing connections that allow for movement and cautions that relief holes knocked through an empty pool's floor can bring a leak and uplift. NRCS rates soils in general; it doesn't test any one yard.
From Flower Mound New Town to Timber Creek
The Town's 1971 ordinance for Planned Development 1 rezoned 1,337.13 acres as one planned development in four units, set Unit 1 aside for housing with parks, playgrounds, a recreation center and a shopping center, and capped Unit 1 at 2,225 homes and Unit 2 at 1,650. Part of Unit 2's boundary runs down the middle of the creek called Timber Creek. Building began in 1972, and after HUD foreclosed in 1976 the development was renamed Timber Creek Community. About 62.6% of the Timber Creek records still lie in that planned development and 24.2% in PD-11 of 1983, which set at least 7,500 square feet of land for each detached home in its lower-density single-family areas.
Parks, schools and the water supply
About 27.8 acres of Leonard and Helen Johns Community Park, with its fishing pond and four lighted tennis courts, fall inside Timber Creek's records, as do Timber Creek Park with its butterfly-themed shaded playground, Spring Meadow Park, Cortadera Park and Parker Square Park, and about 2.70 miles of Town trail, most of it the Pink Evening Primrose Trail. Timber Creek Elementary, the first Lewisville ISD school to open in Flower Mound, serves about 69.3% of the neighborhood's area under the Town's attendance zones, with Lamar Middle and Marcus High, and North Central Texas College opened its Parker Square campus in 2011.
The refill comes from the Town, which buys treated water from Dallas Water Utilities and, for most of its supply, the Upper Trinity Regional Water District. Its utility map shows about 16.6 miles of potable main inside the records, about 12,394 meters of it dated to the 1970s.
Other work while the pool is empty
A conversion ends with a new finish over the whole shell, so it is the time to settle anything else the pool needs. Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing can also replaster or lay a quartz or pebble finish, renew waterline tile and coping, or add steps or a tanning ledge, alongside its main work, pool resurfacing in Flower Mound. Bridlewood's records sit in the next cells of the Town's map grid, and our page on adding a spa in Bridlewood covers that neighborhood's design guidelines.
How a diving pool is converted
Measure the pool as it stands
Depths at the shallow end, the slope break and the deepest point set the plan; a board still in place is labelled with its minimum diving envelope.
Ask the Town, and the association where there is one
Building Inspections says how the alteration is permitted, and the 50 lots of Phase 7 also ask their association.
Plan around the clay
Plumbing connections are laid out to allow for movement, with no relief holes in the empty floor.
Drain and fill in the deep end
Part of the deep end is filled in to the Type O depths the plan reviewer accepts, and the board comes off.
Resurface the shell
The whole pool takes a new interior finish, the third of the three steps that national figures from 2024 list for going shallower.
Refill
The pool fills from the Town’s mains and the fresh finish is started up.
