Infinity Pools
Vanishing-edge pools engineered to merge water and view—precisely designed, built, and finished for Austin’s terrain.
Custom Infinity Pools in Austin, TX
Also called vanishing-edge or negative-edge pools, infinity pools use a precisely leveled weir wall and a concealed catch basin to create a seamless horizon effect. Our team handles the structural design, hydraulics, waterproofing, and finish work so your edge looks razor-straight—day and night.
Depths and edge configurations vary by site, view, and codes.
Typical Spans & Estimated Water Volumes
| Span | Avg. Depth | Est. Gallons* |
|---|---|---|
| 30' × 12' | 4.5' | ≈ 12,100 gal |
| 34' × 14' | 4.5' | ≈ 16,000 gal |
| 40' × 16' | 4.5' | ≈ 21,500 gal |
*Estimates for main pool only; catch-basin capacity and surge volume are additional.

Infinity Pool FAQs
Do you handle permits and inspections in Austin?
Yes. We produce code-ready plans and manage inspections with the City of Austin (and nearby jurisdictions). For sloped lots and edges near setbacks, we coordinate structure, drainage, and barrier layouts with review staff and any HOA.
What makes an infinity edge work?
A level weir wall lets water spill into a hidden catch basin (or runnel). Pumps recirculate the overflow back to the main pool. Proper engineering keeps the edge dead-level and quiet in various wind conditions.
Will an infinity pool fit my sloped site?
Often a slope makes the effect stronger. We design the structure (footings, steel, retaining) for local limestone and variable soils so the edge and basin remain stable long-term.
How loud is the overflow?
We tune spill height, weir finish, and basin acoustics. With proper detailing, the edge reads visually strong while the sound remains a low ambient hush.
What about evaporation and water use?
Automation, covers, and wind/splash sensors help minimize loss. We also size the basin for surge volume and specify efficient circulation to keep operating costs in check.
Which finishes look best on a vanishing edge?
Dense, dark tile or stone on the weir keeps reflections crisp. Interiors range from pebble and quartz to polished aggregates—chosen to complement your architecture and view.
How is maintenance different from a standard pool?
Similar routine care with a few additions: keeping the basin clear, monitoring levelers, and occasional weir cleaning. We design for easy access and include app-based monitoring.
Do you coordinate guardrails or glass at view edges?
Yes. We align guardrail posts or glass with the sightline so code compliance doesn’t interrupt the horizon effect.
