Pools + Spas · Austin, TX

Pools that look poured into the Hill Country.

Hand-cut limestone coping. Native plantings spilling to the water’s edge. Modern lines, regional materials. Pools designed alongside the landscape — not dropped on top of it.

Why most installs fail

Most Austin pools fight the landscape.

Aqua-blue tile in a Hill Country backyard reads as suburban. Equipment in plain view. No landscape integration. The pool stops the design instead of completing it.

Wrong tile, wrong surround

Bright blue Mexican tile and white plaster look right in Florida. They look wrong against limestone and live oaks. We use neutral plaster, native stone coping.

Equipment visible and ugly

Pumps, heaters, filters parked in line of sight. We design equipment rooms — disguised, accessible, properly ventilated, freeze-protected.

Pool first, landscape second

Most pools are sited and built, then the landscape gets squeezed around. We design pool and landscape simultaneously. The pool reads as part of the place.

What we build

Six pool types we build in Austin.

Each suited to a different lot, view, and household. We don’t do round suburban pools — we design pools that frame the property.

Rectangular modern pools

Clean lines, limestone coping, neutral plaster, integrated spa at one end. The most Texas-appropriate pool form we build.

Infinity edges

Where the lot allows it, an infinity edge that catches the Hill Country horizon. Common in Westlake, Lakeway, and Barton Creek.

Integrated spas

Spa as part of the pool, not bolted on. Same coping material. Connected jets and overflow.

Plunge pools

Smaller compact pools for cooling off. Lower install cost, lower water use. Great for tight lots.

Pool water features

Limestone runnels, sheet falls, scuppers. Subtle moving water, not Vegas waterfalls.

Equipment room engineering

Disguised, ventilated, freeze-protected. The boring stuff, done right.

Our approach

Designed with the landscape. Built in regional materials.

Pool + landscape, one design

We sketch the pool and the planting plan together. The pool reads as part of the place — water, stone, plants flowing together — instead of dropped on a green lawn.

Hill Country materials

Limestone coping, native plant beds at the edge, weathered cedar accents. The pool surround feels like the rest of the property, not a backyard amusement.

Engineered for the boring parts

Properly sized equipment, freeze-resistant plumbing, real drainage, real bonding. The parts you never see — done so you never have to think about them.

Our process

What working with us looks like.

Step 01

Site visit

We walk the property, talk through use, check drainage and sun, and leave with a fixed-fee design proposal — usually within a week.

Step 02

Master plan

2D plan view, material palette, native plant list, phased budget. You see it before we touch a shovel. Design fee credits 100% toward the build.

Step 03

Build

Our crew, not subs. We handle hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting end-to-end. Most projects finish in 4–10 weeks.

Step 04

Year-one care

Walk-throughs at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months. Anything that doesn’t establish, we replace. 5-year warranty on hardscape.
