as a concrete company, founded by
brothers Theodore Creswell Pulliam
and Frank “Pop” Pulliam in 1914.
“In those days, there was no
such thing as a dedicated swimming
pool contractor, so if you wanted a
pool you called a cement contrac-
tor,” Smith said. “They started build-
ing cement cattle dipping vats and
it evolved from there. Both were so
successful at constructing the water-
proof vats that they were asked to
design and build the first pool in
Coryell County in 1916.”
Fast forward to 2018, Pulliam
Pools now serves Parker County with
a 14,000-square-foot showplace,
offering hundreds of samples, from
tile to coping, to even a state-of-the-
art pool for display, helping custom-
ers get an idea of what they will actu-
ally have in their own backyard. They
have not only survived, but thrived,
while becoming a nationally-recog-
nized name in the industry.
In looking for a new location,
Smith knew that she wanted to stay
in the Hudson Oaks area. So, Stacy
Lynch showed Smith a property
in Hudson Oaks that would allow
Pulliam Pools the opportunity to start
from the ground up and build the
facilities exactly the way she envi-
sioned it. The design of the building
was the handiwork of Smith’s daugh-
ter Reva.
“She’s [Reva] had a knack for
design since she was seven when
she decorated her own room,” Smith
said. “The design was not what I had
in mind, but I decided to let her take
it over. It’s very modern and industri-
al and is like what we do in construc-
tion, so the design fits very well.”
The office wasn’t complete with-
out its own pool for customers to
daydream about having in their own
backyards. The show pool has a
remote to demonstrate to customers
all the functions their pools are capa-
ble of, while at the storefront. It’s a
hands-on experience that shows why
Pulliam Pools is so good at building
pools.
Looking toward the future, Smith
wants to continue to grow the busi-
ness while being smart about it. It’s
a strategy that has served Smith well,
thus far. At this rate, Pulliam Pools
will be around for another 100 years.
