Why Wimberley pools get refinished, not replaced
Since 2011, the City of Wimberley has refused building permit applications for in-ground or above-ground pools that would be filled with Wimberley Water Supply Corporation water. Building or placing such a pool inside the city limits is prohibited. A pool filled from another source can still be permitted, with proof the city accepts that it won't use the corporation's water.
For homes on the corporation's water, that leaves the pool already in the ground. Refinishing it is how it stays in use.
Homes from the 1980s to the 2010s
Half of Wimberley's homes were built before 1994 and half after, by the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey. Homes from the 2010s make up 32.0 percent, the 1980s 23.3 percent and the 1990s 14.8 percent. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $550,800, and 81.4 percent of homes are single detached houses.
House age isn't pool age, and no record dates the town's pools.
Quartz on a pool you plan to keep
Quartz gets 10 to 15 years from the National Plasterers Council, against 5 to 8 for traditional white plaster. For an owner keeping a pool for the long run, that gap is the case for quartz. Makers blend the quartz into polymer-modified cement made for pool interiors, and one says its silica-based quartz line is much more durable than older marble-based quartz finishes.

(830) 302-4112Draining and refilling in a drought stage
Wimberley's city government owns one utility, the Central Wimberley Wastewater System. Properties without private wells get water from Wimberley Water Supply Corporation or Aqua Texas.
On October 6, 2026, the corporation's site showed Stage 4 restrictions in effect, under an alert dated August 23, 2024. Those restrictions limit outdoor watering to a hand-held hose with a shut-off nozzle, a soaker hose or drip irrigation, with no automatic or hose-end sprinklers. Ask the corporation directly what its current stage means for draining and refilling a pool before any work is booked.
The city adds a rule of its own: draining a pool onto an impervious surface, such as pavement, is prohibited. For landscape watering, it also defers to the stricter rule whenever a supplier's or the groundwater district's drought plan is in effect.
Why quartz wants a short dry spell
Diamond Brite's maker wants its quartz finish kept under water so it stays hydrated. Sun and air on a drained finish can cause cracking and delamination, the finish separating from the shell. When a drain can't be avoided, it says, refill within 24 hours, and never drain in the first year.
So in Wimberley the order matters. Confirm the refill with your supplier, Wimberley Water Supply Corporation or Aqua Texas, and only then start the drain.

(830) 302-4112Limestone, rock outcrop and thin soil
Three rocky soil complexes cover the most ground in the city on U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) maps: Brackett–rock outcrop–Comfort, Brackett–rock outcrop–Real and Comfort–rock outcrop, in that order. Lewisville silty clay and Gruene clay follow.
These are thin soils. Under the Brackett soil, the USDA's typical depth to weakly coherent bedrock is 36 cm; under Comfort, hard bedrock lies at a typical 33 cm. Rock outcrop is bedrock at the surface. Both soils rate 'Very limited' for shallow digging. Comfort also rates 'Very limited' for concrete driveways and sidewalks, because of hard bedrock and large stones.
The USDA's 1984 survey of Comal and Hays counties describes this ground as shallow soil over limestone or strongly cemented chalk. Horizontal bands of rock outcrop give many hill slopes a benched look. The Comfort soil is extremely stony clay over hard, fractured limestone, and the survey names shallowness to rock, slope and stoniness as limits on building.

(830) 302-4112Permits for repairs and pool work
Wimberley has adopted the 2015 International Residential Code. Its code says a building permit isn't needed for interior or exterior repairs or renovations to a home that involve no structural change. Structural repairs need one.
That line doesn't mention pools, so don't assume a refinish is exempt. Ask the Permitting Department at City Hall, 221 Stillwater Drive. A residential permit typically takes about seven days.
Pool work that does need a permit comes with a checklist. The city asks for:
- a site plan;
- dimensioned plans for the decks, mechanical equipment and fencing;
- the type of construction, such as poured concrete, with the dimensions, depth and pool edge details;
- mechanical plans and pool barrier details.
The city also notes that not every zoning district allows a pool.

(830) 302-4112Well water, metals and a smooth finish
Not every home here is on a supplier's line; the city's utilities page speaks to properties without private wells. Wimberley Water Supply Corporation draws groundwater from the Trinity Aquifer in Hays County, and its 2025 water report gives no hardness figure.
Metals in fill water can stain a finish. Diamond Brite's maker names three common sources: copper-based algaecides, old copper plumbing and well water. Iron stains reddish-brown, copper green to blue, and manganese dark brown or black.
The plastering council's advice is to test the fill water, whatever its source, before the pool is filled.

(830) 302-4112From Winters' Mill to Blue Hole
A gristmill went up on Cypress Creek in 1856, and the settlement became Winters' Mill. On March 5, 1874, Pleasant Wimberley bought the mill, and the place became Wimberley's Mill.
The mill sawed lumber and shingles, ground grain and flour, made molasses and ginned cotton until 1925. It was torn down in 1934. Texas history records describe Wimberley as a health center and resort town, with tourism a major industry.
The USDA's 1984 county soil survey had already named retirement communities near Canyon Lake and Wimberley among the changes turning farmland into towns.
The city's parks include Blue Hole Regional Park, a swimming hole fed by Cypress Creek with 5.5 miles of trails. The 7.24-acre Cypress Creek Nature Trail and Preserve, just east of the Wimberley Square, was acquired by the city in 2001, and its creekside trail connects to Blue Hole. Martha Knies Community Park, Old Baldy Park and Oak Park, home of the welcome center, complete the list.
Beyond quartz: other finishes and pool work
Colors, start-up and the makers' warranty terms are laid out on the quartz pool finishes page. Pebble and plaster are the other main choices for a refinish here, and tile, coping and crack repair often go along with one. On I-35 in the same county, New Braunfels Quality Pool Resurfacing does pool replastering in Kyle as well.

How quartz jobs generally go, within the city's published rules. Specifics for your pool come at the estimate.
Quartz estimate and price
On a New Braunfels-area price list that also covers Kyle, quartz runs $6,500 to $10,000 as of October 2026. National figures for 2026 put quartz aggregate at $10 to $14 per square foot. Both are published averages, not quotes from us; the estimate itself is free.
Name the supplier
Find out whether the house is on Wimberley Water Supply Corporation, Aqua Texas or a private well, and ask the supplier about its current rules.
Confirm the refill, then drain
Get the refill confirmed before draining, and drain onto ground, not pavement: the city bans draining a pool onto an impervious surface.
Permit check
Ask the Permitting Department at City Hall whether the work needs a permit.
Quartz goes on
The quartz finish is troweled hard, then exposed by one of several methods, the plastering council explains.
Start-up for the new quartz
More than one quartz maker points owners to the plastering council's start-up procedure, and one reprints it in its catalog.
