Call us today at Pool Builders Near Me Texas to learn more about what kinds of pool features & add-ons we can add to your pool design.
Water Pool Features
There are numerous features that involve fire and water that we can build to make your in-ground pool more spectacular and refined. Some examples of water features we are capable of building include waterfalls, spillways, scuppers, bubblers, and spas.
Your pool doesn’t need water features to function. However, the right features can bring your pool closer to the dream pool you envisioned. Each water feature can bring a different splash to your poolside view. With our help, you can create or choose the perfect pool features & add-ons for your pool.
There are different materials you can choose from to give your water features the exact look you want. Some are backed by natural materials like stone, while others use synthetic materials. Examples include concrete and bricks. We can accommodate any design you want for your water features and place them where you want them.
Pool Spas
Pool spas are similar to hot tubs, but they can be built right into the ground. If you are interested in adding a little extra comfort to your pool experience, we can build you a pool spa. These features can be heated and have jets installed to create the ultimate relaxing experience. It can be added as a separate feature to your pool, or it can be a connected part of the design.
Spillways
Spillways create a cascade of water that fall into your pool. While waterfalls are generally large and imposing, spillways are gentler and usually are part of a connecting structure like a spa. Spillways can make your pool appear visually interesting as well as perform the function of keeping the water flowing in your pool. This can prevent build-up from forming.
Waterfalls
A poolside waterfall can be amazing to look at and inspire your friends and family with awe. The sound of the water hitting the water can mesmerize anyone with its unique ambiance. There are many ways you can personalize the construction of your waterfall. They come in many shapes, designs, and sizes, so your gunite pool installation will be completely unique.
Scuppers
Scuppers appear visually similar to spillways and can also be used to drain water from a pool spa, but they are a completely different type of pool feature that you may consider adding to your pool design. The basic concept of a scupper is a fall of water that uses gravity to flow.
The main difference between a spillway and a scupper is that water flows off of a ledge in a spillway and out of a spout in a scupper. Like spillways, scuppers can help keep water moving and flowing in both your pool and spa. This will help keep your pool cooler because moving water maintains a lower temperature.
Fountains & Bubblers
Fountains are a great way to spice up what would otherwise be a plain or boring pool design. A pool bubbler is a type of fountain that creates a short column of water that bubbles the nearby water. This fountain type is generally installed in shallow areas of a pool.
A bubbler fountain on the steps or ledge of your pool can be both visually appealing and dynamic. Like other water features, this add-on will circulate the water in your pool. In addition to the other benefits mentioned, this can also prevent debris from settling on the bottom of the pool.
Infinity Pools
Infinity pools are a unique type of modern pool seem like they stretch toward the horizon. It is similar to a regular in-ground pool, but there are some specific construction elements that make it different from a traditional or custom-made in-ground pool. The pool contractors at Pool Builders Near Me Texas can handle these difficult design elements and create your dream infinity pool.
An infinity pool appears to have no rim or boundary on one or more sides, but that is because of an optical illusion created by tricky engineering. The side of the infinity pool that appears to have no edge has the edge hidden under the water line as water flows over it and out of the upper part of the pool.
The water that drains flows directly into a basin below that pumps the water back up into the main section, so no water is wasted. An infinity pool can be both beautiful and luxurious as the water appears to flow directly into the horizon or landscape.
Lazy Rivers
Ever wanted to relax and lounge along a gentle current like the giant lazy rivers at water parks? You can bring that home to your own yard by designing your own lazy river. A lazy river creates a circuit or a loop that connects on either end to your pool. The length of your lazy river will depend on how large your yard or property is.
The water in a lazy river is propelled by jets that keep the water flowing and allow you to move along the loop with little effort. You can have endless hours of fun as you float along your own tiny river system in your own backyard.
The pool contractors at Pool Builders Near Me Texas can also create a lazy river for your residential or commercial pool. Don’t miss your chance of adding your own to your pool today.
Fire Pool Features
If you are looking for something a little hotter, you might consider installing a fire feature into your pool design. Fire bowls and fire pits are both very common features that Pool Builders Near Me Texas can plan for you.
Fire bowls can be made of several kinds of materials, but they are essentially a bowl that will hold a flame. It can be placed on pillars or built into the structure of your in-ground pool. They can add a dramatic flourish and accent certain areas of the pool.
A fire pit, on the other hand, is usually an open pit built into the ground that will hold a flame. You will be able to imagine your family huddling around this fire on a cool autumn evening. Fire pits are good options for people who want to enjoy a fire in their yard safely and with little upkeep.
Additional Outdoor Structures
Pool Builders Near Me Texas can also include additional outdoor structures to your pool’s overall design. Whether you want to add a pergola, gazebo, decking, or outdoor kitchen, our team can do it for you. Check out how even your poolside scenery can make a splash beside your pool.
Outdoor Kitchens
One of the unique pool additions we can offer you at Pool Builders Near Me Texas is an outdoor kitchen. If you’ve ever worked up an appetite while enjoying an afternoon swim, you’ll know how frustrating it can get to have to go inside and prepare a meal. However, now you won’t have to stop the fun when you make use of an outdoor kitchen.
Appliances like refrigerators and grills can be included in your outdoor kitchen for your convenience and recreation. Having a sink and counter space can also be incredibly important to kitchen activities. At Pool Builders Near Me Texas, you will have many kitchen appliance style options to choose from to help you create a space that is both functional and elegant.
Pergolas
A pergola is a type of outdoor structure that can add beauty and shade to your yard. This type of structure is made of columns that rise into the air to support a grid roof structure made of beams and rafters.
You can leave the grid open or covered depending on your preference and anticipated temperatures. A pergola can create a shaded walkway or sitting area for you to enjoy while you are outside in the summer heat. Vines can be attached to your pergola to add a whimsical touch.
Patios and Decking
Essential to the backyard pool experience is a good patio or deck to walk on. A patio or deck separates the immediate area between your pool’s edge and the surrounding area. Having a pool deck or patio can reduce the amount of dirt and mud that gets trekked in when you enter or exit your pool.
We can create decking made out of concrete, spray deck, pavers, travertine, and more. In addition to creating a new deck for you, we also offer patio extensions if you have an existing patio you are not satisfied with.
Gazebos
Gazebos are another type of outdoor structure we can create at Pool Builders Near Me Texas. Unlike a pergola, a gazebo is more of a pavilion structure that can have either a built-in floor or a concrete base. A typical shape for a gazebo is an octagon.
It can provide additional shade beside your pool for you and your pool’s visitors. Whether they want to take a moment to dry off or take a break from the water, a gazebo is the perfect sitting respite that can keep them away from the direct Texan sun.
