Houston's Best Custom Pool Design

Transform your ordinary backyard into a summertime oasis with a custom-designed swimming pool.


A custom-designed swimming pool has many benefits besides the obvious relief from the blistering Houston heat. Having your own custom pool designed and built increases the overall value of your home, creates the perfect opportunities for family fun and memories, provides a great way to stay active and healthy, and more.

The expert team at Stubbs Pools has been designing and building breath-taking swimming pools and spas for Houston and the surrounding area since 2003. We take great pride in our work and strive to provide you with a pleasant and engaging experience to help craft the perfect staycation destination in your very own backyard.

Our Custom Pool Design Process

When you contact Stubbs Pools for a custom swimming pool, we start by scheduling a time to meet in person at your home. This provides us the opportunity to get a feel for your project by seeing your backyard and the environment the pool will be incorporated in.

We like to imagine the pool from multiple perspectives, one of the most important being from the main gathering area inside the home. We want to be sure to consider the design of your pool from all angles so that it provides a breathtaking view no matter where you and your guests are spending time together.

Next, we will discuss the shape and size of your dream pool and explain the benefits of different design styles and aesthetics.

We also discuss what types of features you would like your new backyard oasis to have such as;

  • A Custom Spa
  • Water Features (Waterfalls, Sheer Descents, Custom Scuppers, etc)
  • Custom Fire Features
  • Customized Decking (Pavers, Spray Decking, etc)
  • Landscaping Options
  • Tile & Coping
  • Plaster Options such as Pebble Tec & Wet Edge
  • Smart Pool Features
  • Outdoor Kitchens, and more.

We spend time explaining the benefits (and sometimes drawbacks) of different pool features. We help you find inspiration by showing you examples of our previous work as well as other pools that might have characteristics of interest for your future pool.

Once we have customized your dream pool just the way you have envisioned it, we begin the design drafting process.

Our senior pool designer drafts a full-color rendering of your pool by hand to help give you the best visual experience possible. This process generally takes about a week. Once you receive the first draft of your new swimming pool, you will work with your custom pool consultant to discuss changes and make any modifications to ensure that you are getting the pool of your dreams.

You will then be provided with your final pool design along with a specification sheet which will outline all of the elements that go into creating your masterpiece along with the costs associated with them.

We understand that the cost of creating your dream pool can sometimes be a bit overwhelming - this is why we work personally with a local lender, CMG Financial, who is prepared to discuss your options when it comes to making sure you can comfortably own the backyard you have always wanted.
