Every backyard is one of a kind.
From new construction to full renovations, here are a few recent projects across the Hill Country and Bexar County. Different lots, different finishes, the same hands-on, firefighter-owned team from first sketch to first swim.
Newk's Ranch.
A crisp geometric pool anchored by twin sheer-descent waterfalls pouring over a deep-blue glass-tile wall and white stacked stone. A tanning ledge with in-water loungers steps into the shallow end, framed by travertine coping and a stamped-concrete deck that ties the whole backyard together.
Veramendi.
A freeform pool in the Veramendi community, built around a raised wall of deep-blue glass tile with twin sheer-descent water features. The cool PebbleTec interior reads almost teal in the sun, with a wide travertine surround that opens onto the covered patio and grill.
Woodlands of Camino Real.
A tired freeform pool and attached spa in this San Antonio neighborhood, brought fully back to life. We resurfaced the interior in a midnight Pebble finish, traced the steps and spa with iridescent glass-tile accents, and kept the original flagstone coping — a dramatic before-and-after on the same footprint.
Clean lines, dark water.
A rectangular pool paired with a raised spa clad in black glass mosaic, spilling into the pool below. Herringbone-laid stone decking and matching stone columns tie the space to the home's modern farmhouse exterior.
An edge that meets the hills.
Set into a sloping Hill Country lot, this pool disappears at the edge into a valley of live oaks. A travertine deck wraps a raised sun shelf and in-water loungers, framed by a clean cable-rail line so nothing competes with the view.
From dirt lot to fire pit courtyard.
A raw, freshly graded hillside became a resort-style courtyard: a freeform pool with raised spa, a custom cut-stone patio in an overlapping diamond pattern, and a sunken fire pit lounge tucked behind stone planters for a private gathering spot with hill country views.

A first conversation costs nothing. Let's design the build that ends up in this gallery.
