Pool Service
Owning a pool is one of life’s great luxuries, especially in the Texas heat! But maintaining that pristine blue oasis can sometimes be more challenging than you’d expect. So, when it comes to pool maintenance, should you take a DIY approach, or is hiring a professional pool service the better option? Let’s explore both.
The DIY Route
Taking care of your own pool can be rewarding—if you know what you’re doing. DIY maintenance often includes:
- Water testing and balancing: Ensuring the right chemical levels (pH, chlorine, alkalinity) is crucial for safety and clarity.
- Cleaning: Regularly brushing the walls, skimming the surface, and vacuuming debris are essential.
- Equipment inspection: Checking pumps, filters, and heaters to ensure they’re running smoothly.
While you may save money, the DIY approach can be time-consuming and risky if you’re unsure how to properly maintain your pool. Improper chemical use, for example, can lead to algae growth, cloudy water, or even costly equipment damage.
Why Hire a Pool Service?
Hiring a professional pool service gives you peace of mind that your pool is being handled by experts. Some of the key benefits include:
- Expert chemical balancing: Professionals ensure your pool water is safe and crystal clear without over- or under-dosing chemicals.
- Thorough cleaning: A service provider will keep your pool spotless, handling all the tedious tasks like vacuuming, skimming, and brushing.
- Regular equipment maintenance: With a trained eye, a professional can catch small issues with your pool’s equipment before they turn into expensive repairs.
- More free time: Instead of spending your weekends testing chemicals and scrubbing walls, you can relax and enjoy your pool to its fullest.

Featured Pools, Pool Designs and Ideas
Our Featured Pool for December 2023 is this Hill Country modern geometric pool design. This pool is highlighted by a baja shelf, flush spa, outdoor kitchen, outdoor bathroom/shower, and steel planters. Below you will find picutres and an overview from our designe
What was it about the project that required an unusual level of craftsmanship?
From the beginning of this project, we knew the biggest obstacle was going to be the septic system that wrapped around 3 sides of the backyard. There are two leech fields to the right and left of the existing patio that are connected along the back property line. This shrunk our workable area so it became a balance of how to locate the pool to the house, while maintaining enough space for the outdoor kitchen and bath. This forced some careful planning on how to accomplish elevation changes to make sure the lounge area, kitchen area, and dining area still had enough space to be walkable and useful.
Describe the Aesthetic Appeal of this pool:
This pool has a Hill Country Modern design, with clean geometric lines for the spa and ledges, and rectilinear steps connecting the upper lounge area to the kitchen and the lower dining section. Lueder coping and a mixed lueder chop on the walls compliment the existing colors of the house and provide a subdued rustic feel. Steel planters create a modern look and the vegetation brings pop of color and softness to the stone and steel.

- Pool: 32’ x 18’
- Decking: Sundek + salt finished concrete
- Coping: Lueder
- Vertical Veneer: Chopped Lueder

What was it about the project that required an unusual level of craftsmanship?
Creating this pool posed a unique challenge: it had to offer privacy while maintaining a strong connection to the home’s long covered patio. Achieving this balance needed careful planning and attention to detail. The well-placed privacy wall and surrounding landscaping provided the necessary seclusion from the nearby golf course. Yet, the design ensured that the pool still felt like a natural extension of the patio, reflecting a thoughtful approach and skilled craftsmanship.

This modern pool design skillfully blends geometric shapes with functional luxury. The spacious pool, paired with an oversized hot tub, sits beside a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, perfect for relaxed gatherings. A distinctive privacy wall, overlooking the golf course, is adorned with two copper water pots and three sheers. Complementing this, the surrounding landscaping further enhances privacy while adding a touch of natural elegance.

What was it about the project that required an unusual level of craftsmanship?
Creating a consistent and harmonious design with the spa spillway to match the two other waterfalls was a crucial aspect of this project. This required a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail to ensure that the water features blend seamlessly and create a visually appealing and balanced landscape. Retainer walls were installed to play a crucial role in managing the elevation difference and preventing soil or debris from spilling into the pool area.
Describe the Aesthetic Appeal of this pool:
The multiple water features, including the spa spillway and the two other waterfalls, create a sense of luxury and serenity. The sight and sound of flowing water add a soothing and visually captivating element to the pool area.
