Pool Design
Integrated Poolscapes & Architectural Excellence
In the Texas Hill Country, high-end homes deserve more than templated pool builds and cookie-cutter decks. At Flora & Gardens Design, we are landscape architects and custom pool designers who believe a pool should enhance the land—not fight it.
Whether you envision:
- An infinity edge pool overlooking the Hill Country horizon
- A naturalistic limestone lagoon built into a sloped lot
- A modern minimalist pool design that mirrors your architecture
- A zero-entry pool with curated native plantings
We design every project around the unique topography, drainage, limestone composition, micro-climate, and views of your property. The result is a seamless poolscape that feels like it has always belonged to your land.

Our Master Design Process
Step 1 — Site Analysis & Vision Alignment
We begin with the land. We assess drainage, limestone density, elevation shifts, soil conditions, sun angles, and sightlines while aligning your vision for a full outdoor transformation.
Step 2 — Master-Planned Pool Design & Rendering
We create a cohesive outdoor master plan, not just a pool drawing.
Our renderings illustrate:
- How light dances on the water at golden hour
- How plantings frame the view
- How the pool elevation interacts with your home
- How your outdoor space flows as a livable extension of your interior**
Step 3 — White-Glove Build Management
We manage construction with meticulous oversight. Our white-glove project management ensures the finished environment matches the design with precision, structural integrity, and artistry.
