Why Modern Pools

Built to run quiet

Start Your Design

Designed in 3D first

See exactly how the water moves and where it lands before we build it.

Quiet and clean

Variable speed pumps and proper plumbing keep features quiet and bills low.

Built into the shell

Formed during gunite construction, not bolted on later to leak.

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

Water Features, answered.

How much do pool water features cost in Austin?

Pool water features in Austin are priced within your fixed price tier and range from a few thousand dollars for bubblers or deck jets to far more for an infinity edge or a stone grotto. We quote the features as part of one locked contract, so you see the full cost before construction begins.

Can you add water features to my existing Austin pool?

Often, yes, during an Austin pool remodel we can add a spa, spillway, sheer descent, or bubblers, depending on your existing structure and equipment. We assess what your current shell and plumbing can support at no cost before quoting the work.

What water features can you build into an Austin pool?

We build the full range of Austin pool water features, including infinity edges, sheer descents, spillways, bubblers and deck jets, spillover spas, and natural stone waterfalls or grottos. Each one is designed in 3D and formed right into the gunite shell, with plumbing and variable speed pumps sized so it runs quiet and efficient.
