Why we like it:

It has the classic simplicity that everyone loves about Texas, but with an updated twist. The centerpiece is a beautiful freeform vanishing basin. Stairs outside the pool lead to a private oasis complete with fireplace, grill, and of course- a jacuzzi. Flagstone is immersed freely amongst turf that surrounds the perimeter of the water, creating the impression that you are taking a dip in a natural reserve, when in reality you are in the good ol’ countryside of Denton.

No frills, no fuss, just fun in the sun. This very traditional hardscape is perfect for the person who wants a change, but doesn’t want all the headaches that can come with exterior design. Simple, fresh concrete surrounds an in-ground pool /jacquzzi combo. A variety of greenery creates a fence for the one area not protected by the house, giving a sense of privacy. Plenty of open space gives that feeling of freedom where you can pull out your beach chair anywhere you please and soak in some of the Denton sun.

Why we like it:

A little tropical paradise in the heart of Redbud. This contemporary hardscape features a concave shaped pool hidden amongst a wide variety of rocks and plant-life. Using big, sturdy rocks creates a feeling of stability, and they are beautifully contrasted by the spontaneity of being stacked at various heights. An overwhelming sense of security is augmented by the stone as you reach a hot tub serenely surrounded by tall flowers. These perennials provide an enclosure that allows you to melt away all your daily stresses without any disturbances.

Why we like it:

This freeform pool has a sleek stone edge that encourages you to live a little, stop dipping your toe in, and get in that water! Flagstone engulfs the circumference of this aquatic paradise’s unique shape. Yet this blueprint is given a definitive structure by the small stones that create the outer-most edge of the hardscape. The must-visit destination appeal of this backyard oasis is further accentuated by the calming waterfall placed strategically next to the raised hot tub. A cozy stone patio is separated by an island of beautiful greenery that works as a “Do not disturb” sign for the pool waders. I doubt you are still contemplating jumping in. Just go for it, will ya!

Why we like it:

Last is most definitely not least here. A gold pebble finish gives a royal look to this freeform pool. Red mulch pops in the garden, as bright yellow flowers dance around the concave edge of this hardscape. A stone walkway leads to an isolated patio where you can lay out and bask in the glory of a beautiful Denton summer. The real talking piece here though, is the long slide that flows through the ferns and into gorgeous crystal blue water. A little south-of-the border inspired fun in the great state of Texas!
