Why Modern Pools

One yard, one team

Start Your Design

One plan, one team

Designed with your pool, in the same 3D model. Levels and materials match.

Built for the climate

Surfaces and shade chosen for Austin heat, limestone ground, and clay that moves.

One contractor

No juggling a pool builder, a hardscaper, and a kitchen installer. Our crews handle it all.

Our Process

From First Idea to First Swim

Design in 3D

We study your lot and model the whole project in photoreal 3D before anything is poured.

Engineer & Build

One team engineers the structure and builds it on a fixed price contract.

First Swim

We finish, fill, and hand over a backyard built to last through every Texas summer.

Common Questions

Outdoor Living, answered.

An Austin outdoor living space is priced within your fixed price tier and scales with scope, from decking and a fire pit to a full outdoor kitchen, pergola, and landscape lighting. We quote the whole backyard as one locked number alongside the pool, so the budget is clear before construction.
Absolutely, if you already have an Austin pool you love, we can add decking, an outdoor kitchen, shade structures, and fire features to complete the backyard around it. We model the additions in 3D so they line up with the pool you already have instead of looking pieced together.
We build the full range of Austin outdoor living features, including travertine and stone decking, outdoor kitchens, fire pits and fireplaces, pergolas and shade structures, and landscape lighting. Everything is sized for the Austin climate and designed in the same 3D plan as the pool, so the spaces work as one.
