Park Cities sits inside a few square miles between the Dallas North Tollway and U.S. 75. Highland Park and University Park together make up one of the densest concentrations of high-value residential property in Texas.

Every custom pool we design includes a conversation about the spa — and the first real decision is whether it sits raised above the pool deck or flush with the water line. Both work.

Most luxury outdoor spaces in DFW treat the pool, the kitchen, and the fire feature as three separate projects. One contractor builds the pool. Another handles the outdoor kitchen. A third installs a fire pit somewhere on the deck. The result is a backyard that looks assembled — not designed. The projects that stop people…

There’s a moment every evening when the sun drops behind the treeline and your pool transforms. The water goes dark, the yard gets quiet — and if you’ve planned for it, that’s exactly when your fire features take over.

When homeowners across Westlake, Southlake, Colleyville, and the surrounding DFW luxury markets start planning a custom pool, the conversation almost always begins with shape, finish materials, and water features.
