​​Pool Design

Swimming pools aren’t what they used to be.  You have your choice of in-ground or above ground.  You also have your choice of concrete, vinyl-lined or fiberglass.  No longer just rectangular blue holes surrounded by concrete aprons.  Today’s pools come in a myriad of shapes and sizes. There are square wading pools, long lap pools, round spas, and teardrop-shaped jet pools to elaborate naturalistic pools complete with boulders, vanishing edges, waterfalls, and lush landscaping.  They are often accompanied by pool houses, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and patios for entertaining.  Whether you’re looking to a simple or elaborate pool, New Braunfels Pool Builders are here to make your dream come true.
When selecting your pool design there are several questions you will want to answer before ‘diving in’!  Let the experts from New Braunfels Pool Builders assist you with identifying the location, shape, size, depth and features of your pool.  We will provide a free consultation to discuss how you want to use the pool. It may be for entertainment, exercise, retreat and relaxation, and/or recreation.  During our walk-through of the area we also want to consider the landscaping. Taking all these things into consideration during the planning process will ensure your oasis is exactly as you imagined. 
New Braunfels Pool Builders are known for their vast selection of pools from custom designed architectural pools, simple lap pools to above ground pools.  The architectural pool, typically constructed with concrete, is carefully designed to compliment the house with a smooth and subtle transition to the nearby pool.  This transitional space between the pool and the house can be comprised of a pool deck and sometimes a terrace. You will also be able to select from different types of paving materials.  Additional architectural designs are the edge of the pool’s height. Some pools are designed flush with the surrounding landscape to easily enter the pool. Other options are to raise the pools edge.  Does your home have rounded or sharp corners? By paying close attention to details, even a small pool can make a strong architectural statement in the landscape.  To create an eye-catching effect, you will want to consider a bold and contrast color.  With an architectural design, your options are only limited by your imagination.
New Braunfels Pool Builders also offer a naturalistic pool.  With a creative design, your landscape can be further beautified by the careful integration of a naturalistic pool.  These designs are typically for sloping land where the water will circulate and flow freely mimicking a small stream or small waterfall.  The pool is surrounding by foliage of various types and sizes to bring a tranquil atmosphere. In addition to the foliage, many times boulders are used.  In many parts of New Braunfels natural woodland settings of foliage, boulders, stepping stones, ground cover are present and make the incorporation of a naturalistic pool possible.  If the area is missing some of these features, our experts can create the same effect. Using artificial stone, a faux-stone, is an environmentally friendly choice as well as a less expensive alternative to real stones and boulders.  The faux-stone are lightweight therefore, much easier to maneuver around the pool.
