Custom Gunite Pools & Water Features
Custom pools and water features designed as part of the entire outdoor environment—not simply added to the backyard.
More Than a Pool
A great pool starts with more than choosing a shape. It begins with understanding how you want to use your backyard and how the pool, spa, decking, landscape, entertaining areas, and surrounding home should work together. API designs custom gunite pools as part of the complete outdoor environment—from the water's edge to the home itself, each element is designed to create an outdoor environment that feels intentional, connected, and complete.
DESIGN AROUND THE WAY YOU LIVE
Swimming, relaxing, entertaining, family time, or simply enjoying the sound and movement of water—how you want to experience the space helps shape the design.
CONNECT WATER TO THE LANDSCAPE
Pools, spas, fountains, paver decks, landscaping, lighting, and outdoor living features should feel like parts of one environment—not separate additions.
BUILD BEAUTY TO LAST
Materials, circulation, drainage, sun exposure, maintenance, and Houston's climate all matter when creating pools and water features meant to be enjoyed for years.
