Modern custom pool and home in Austin during the consultation phase

Phase 01

Consult

We start by getting to know you. What you like, how you want to use the space, and the budget you have in mind. From there we map out the services your project needs and shape a first design that captures your ideal backyard. Your insights and feedback guide every step.

01

Choose a design package, or fill out our short questionnaire and we will schedule your consultation.

02

We sit down with you to talk through your space, your style, and the details that matter most.

03

We present a first design and refine it with you until it fits you perfectly.

Phase 02

Design

Now your pool takes shape on screen. Our in house design team reviews your lot, runs a site survey, and models your pool, decking, and outdoor living space in photoreal 3D. We meet to refine the layout, the materials, and the engineering, then walk you through the full design. Nothing gets poured until you approve every line.

Phase 03

Construct

Now we build. Our own crews excavate, set the steel, shoot the gunite shell, and finish every detail on one schedule and one fixed price. With 25 years on Austin slopes, rock, and clay, we manage the whole build from start to finish and keep a clean worksite from groundbreaking to your first swim. Prefer your own builder? The final design we hand you includes the measurements and details they need to bid the job.
