Houston Pool Designer’s 5 Custom Pools to Inspire Your Backyard Oasis

When it comes to transforming your backyard into a luxurious oasis, partnering with an experienced pool designer is an excellent place to start. A pool not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your backyard but also offers a relaxing and refreshing environment for family and friends to unwind. To make the most of your space, it is essential to enlist the services of a skilled pool designer who can create a unique and personalized design that matches your style and preferences. To inspire you, we are showcasing five custom pools our Houston pool designers recently completed, featuring the creativity and expertise of pool designers in crafting amazing outdoor spaces.

Our pool designers brought the modern tropical theme to life for this outdoor space, utilizing the natural aesthetics of flowing water and locally sourced materials. This project features an expansive stacked waterfall, with layered heights, precisely placed along the natural curves of the lagoon pool shape. For our pool designers to provide a structurally sound rock formation, they had to pay careful attention to group the angular rocks with strategic placement.

Nestled in just right, the stunning waterfall showcases the textural beauty of the rocks and a natural rhythm of trickling water, plunging cascades, and downward streams into the sky blue water achieved using French Gray PebbleTec finish.

Reminiscent of a tropical swimming hole, our pool designers created an inviting pool and spa, perfectly suited for relaxation with an imaginative lure. You can’t help but to imagine yourself spending the day lounging pool side while you soak up the sun and bask in the ambiance of this backyard paradise.

Highlighting the stunning views of the neighboring golf course, our Houston pool designers embodied the manicured putting green with a luxurious resort style effect. While a full drone shot displays a show-stopping swimming pool design, when viewed up close and personal, each design element is beautifully expressed in their individual ways.

As beauty driven pool designers, our team incorporates a vibrant contrast of soft and bright colors, putting the finishing touch on this pool to exude elegance and refined style. The shell beach travertine pavers used for the coping, deck space, and patio areas, provide a softness against the symmetrical lines of the geometric pool and diamond walkways. Featuring the Blue Surf PebbleSheen finish, the pool shines at the center of this creatively thought out, and intricately designed, backyard resort. Drawing your attention to the integrated pocket spa, covered entirely with iridescent blue tiles, you can envision yourself kicked back in the warmth of the water, waiting for the first tee off of the day.

Desiring an outdoor space that exuded an undeniably beautiful, timeless aesthetic, our pool designers created this geometric swimming pool with sleek lines and classic finishes. With the breathtaking contrast provided by the French gray interior finish, and the stunning wisps of colors in the Arctic Silver travertine pavers, this pool design resembles the ambiance of a Mediterranean coastline.

From every viewpoint, this outdoor space is awe-inspiring, with its exact symmetry and alluring affect. Built as the centerpiece of this stunning swimming pool, the integrated spa is a calming focal point, inviting you in for day of relaxation and soaking up the sun.

The first impression of this swimming pool offers a major wow factor, with the large scale stacked rocks, double grottos, and freeform design. A challenging pool installation, this design required our Houston pool designers to exceed their usual craftsmanship with determined ingenuity. Carefully executed, the rock arrangements form an interconnected and structurally sound backdrop for this resort style pool design.

Featuring a plunging cascade of water over the 6’ grotto into the spa, and a massive 8’ grotto towering over the pool, our pool designers connected the two together with layered rock formations, creating additional water ways and spillovers. The blend of beige and gray, with the rich vibrancy of the natural rock, give this pool a timeless look with a touch of adventure.

This property is a perfect example of how a skilled pool designer can help select the right size and shape pool for your backyard. The yard, with narrow and wide widths and an angled fence, created a trapezoid shape. We needed to create a swimming pool that encompassed the space with an inventive approach.

Keeping in line with the angled layout of the property, we designed a geometric swimming pool, continuing the same style throughout the deck. Making this pool design large enough to entertain guests and a big family, our pool designers included custom features to offer symmetrical view points and patterns. For a unique connection between house, pool, and green space, we added floating steps across the shallow depths of the tanning ledge, perfectly lining up with the minimally raised spa.

To give this pool its calm and tranquil undertones, we carefully selected materials that would complement this aesthetic with beauty and functionality. The bench style entry, the Summer Salt plaster, the ivory travertine pavers, and the striking fire features all play a role in taking this cutting-edge pool design and turning it into a piece of art.

As Houston pool designers, we fully embrace pool design as an opportunity to create gorgeous custom pools for our Texas neighbors. Our pool designer services are not only award-winning, but are backed by industry leading warranties and built by skilled pool installers. Whether your pool design features dramatic waterfalls, modern amenities, or ample deck space to entertain your friends and family, your o will provide a breath of fresh air to your outdoor living space.
