A well-designed backyard can offer more ways to enjoy your home, from relaxing afternoons by the pool to al fresco dinners and gatherings with family and friends. At Summerhill Pools • Outdoor Living, we help homeowners in Lakewood, Dallas, create custom pools and outdoor spaces that are functional and complement their property’s design aesthetics. Our services include custom pool design by a licensed landscape architect and an insured construction team, pool remodeling, and outdoor living features such as outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits, tennis courts, basketball courts, putting greens, and more. Whether you’re planning to design and build a new pool or considering making changes to an existing pool, our dedicated team helps you explore options suited to your home, soil and elevations, available space, and lifestyle.
Boutique, Family-Owned Pool Designer and Builder
Designing a custom pool involves considering how it will fit within your property and how you want to use it. The home’s architecture, backyard dimensions, existing landscaping, and preferred features all help shape the design, functionality, and aesthetics. We take these factors into account when developing a design concept that reflects your preferences and works with the surrounding space.
Pool Designs Tailored to Your Property
Your plans may call for a clean, geometric pool, a more organic shape that complements the landscape, or a spacious swimming area for recreation and entertaining.
As we develop your concept, we consider:
- Pool shape, dimensions, and placement.
- Tile, coping, and interior finishes that complement the home.
- Water features and lighting that suit your preferred atmosphere.
- Decking and pathways that connect the pool to the rest of the yard.
- Space for lounging, dining, and spending time outdoors.
Site conditions, grading, drainage, construction access, safety requirements, and permitting can also affect the design. Considering these factors early helps establish the project’s scope and identify potential challenges before construction begins.
Visualizing Your New Pool
A well-designed custom pool begins with a clear vision of how it will transform your outdoor space. Through detailed 3D visualizations, we bring your proposed design to life before construction begins, giving you a realistic preview of the pool, its finishes, and the surrounding landscape. You can explore different design elements, assess the overall layout, and see how each feature works together to complement your backyard.
This approach lets us refine the design with greater confidence while accounting for your property’s unique characteristics. By pairing visual planning with thoughtful site considerations, our landscape architect develops a pool design that aligns with your vision, lifestyle, and outdoor living goals.
Pool Remodeling and Renovation
If you already have a pool, the first step toward improving it is understanding its current condition and deciding what you want to change. Worn surfaces, dated tile, aging features, or an outdated deck may affect the pool’s appearance and how you use the surrounding space. We help homeowners explore remodeling options based on the existing pool, their priorities, and the scope of work involved.
Updating Pool Surfaces and Features
Depending on the pool’s condition and your renovation goals, potential improvements may include:
- Resurfacing the pool interior.
- Replacing tile and updating coping.
- Repairing or improving the surrounding deck.
- Modernizing pool lighting.
- Adding selected water features or updating existing ones.
- Making appropriate equipment and functional upgrades.
The right approach depends on the pool’s condition and the work required. Some projects may call for a limited number of updates, while others may require more advanced updates because harsh Texas weather affects the pool and its surroundings.
Evaluating the existing conditions alongside your goals helps establish which improvements are worth considering for your property and budget.
Making Better Use of Your Backyard
A pool renovation may also reveal opportunities to improve the surrounding space and the full estate. You might want more room for seating, a more practical patio layout, or outdoor features that better suit the way you entertain. Considering these possibilities during the remodeling process helps you determine whether to focus on the pool itself or include additional improvements in your outdoor remodel plans.
