About Tilney Pools

Tilney Pools began with a clear goal: to build pools that stand out for their quality and attention to detail. What started as Doug’s vision has grown into a trusted name across the Greater Tampa Bay Area. With more than 25 years of hands-on experience, Doug Tilney has designed, built, and renovated pools with experience, precision, and pride in the work.

Tilney Pools team leads every project with a hands-on approach that keeps quality at the center. Licensed in both residential and commercial construction, our experienced project managers are involved from the first layout to the final finish.

Our Approach

Every project starts with a clear plan and open communication. We take the time to understand what you want and how you plan to enjoy your space before any work begins. By taking a limited number of projects each year, we stay focused on every detail and maintain the level of quality our clients expect.

Each project is personally overseen by one of our project managers and supported by a team that understands the value of doing the job right. It’s a straightforward process built on planning, precision, and accountability from start to finish.
