PoolCraft
Aerial view of a backyard pool, terrace and garden

PoolCraft designs the yard around the pool: planting, stone paths, grading, drainage and lighting, planned with the pool instead of after it. Doing both together means the deck drains away from the house, the plants are not dropping leaves into the skimmer, and the whole yard reads as one design.

Who this is for

Anyone building or renovating a pool who does not want a new pool surrounded by an old, tired yard. Also homeowners whose yard holds water after every Houston storm.

What is included

  • Landscape plan drawn with the pool design
  • Grading and drainage so water leaves the yard
  • Planting beds, lawn and privacy screening
  • Stone and paver paths, steppers and borders
  • Landscape and pool lighting

Plan the yard and the pool on the same drawing

Most backyard problems are sequencing problems. The pool goes in, then someone plants a tree that drops leaves into it, then the new deck sends rainwater toward the back door. Drawing everything at once avoids all three.

Drainage first

Houston rain arrives in bulk. Every plan we draw starts with where the water goes: away from the house, away from the pool, and off the property without turning the lawn into a pond.

Questions about landscaping & custom design

Do you only do landscaping with a pool?

Landscaping is usually part of a pool or outdoor living project. Call us with what you have in mind and we will tell you if it is a fit.

Can you fix a yard that floods?

Grading and drainage are part of every plan. We look at where water collects and design the yard to move it away from the house and pool.

Tell us what you are picturing. David will call you back to set up a visit, look at the yard and give you a written price before any work starts.
