Create a breathtaking visual illusion where your pool water appears to merge with the horizon. This sophisticated design feature makes even modest views more dramatic and creates a constant, soothing water sound.
The vanishing edge effect works particularly well on sloped properties or when overlooking natural features. Though more complex to construct, the stunning result justifies the investment for discerning homeowners. This signature feature instantly elevates your pool from ordinary to extraordinary.
Extend your swimming season and enhance relaxation with an integrated spa. We seamlessly incorporate your hot tub into the pool design, creating a cohesive look while allowing independent temperature control.
Powerful jets provide therapeutic massage for sore muscles. Thoughtful seating arrangements encourage conversation and connection. The convenience of having both swimming and soaking options in one beautifully designed space maximizes your enjoyment throughout the year.
Add the soothing sound of flowing water to your pool environment with custom water features. Options range from subtle sheer descents to dramatic rock waterfalls or contemporary scuppers.
These features create white noise that masks neighborhood sounds while adding visual interest. Strategically placed water features can also create privacy zones or define different areas of your pool. Each water element is custom designed to complement your overall pool aesthetic.
Transform your pool’s appearance after sunset with programmable LED lighting. Modern systems offer color-changing capabilities, preset themes, and synchronized displays that create dramatic nighttime effects. Strategic lighting placement highlights architectural features and enhances safety.

Enjoy the perfect compromise between swimming and sunbathing with shallow water features. Tanning ledges provide just enough water (typically 6-12 inches) to cool you while sunning on your favorite lounger. Beach entries create a gradual slope into the pool, mimicking the shoreline experience. These features are particularly popular with families, providing safe play areas for small children. The versatility of these shallow zones expands how you can enjoy your pool.
Custom inground pools in Plano can range from $80,000 to $250,000+ depending on size, materials, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools with standard finishes start at the lower end; complex designs with premium features reach the higher range.
Factors affecting cost include excavation challenges, access issues, material selections, and additional features like spas or water features. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after understanding your specific project requirements.
We offer several interior finish options including plaster, pebble, quartz aggregates, and glass tile. Each provides different aesthetics, textures, and durability profiles. Coping materials include stone, brick, and concrete.
Decking options range from stamped concrete to premium natural stone. Pool structures typically use gunite (shotcrete) for superior strength and design flexibility. Your material choices affect both appearance and long-term maintenance requirements.
Most custom pool projects in Plano take 8-12 weeks from groundbreaking to swimming. Complex designs or challenging site conditions may extend this timeline.
The process includes excavation (1 week), plumbing and electrical (1-2 weeks), structural shell (2 weeks), curing (1 week), interior finish (1 week), and decking installation (2-3 weeks). Weather conditions and material availability can impact scheduling. Your project receives a detailed timeline during the planning phase.
Modern pools require regular but manageable maintenance. Weekly tasks include skimming debris, brushing surfaces, emptying skimmer baskets, and checking chemical levels. Monthly maintenance involves deeper cleaning, backwashing filters, and inspecting equipment.

“We called Clark Outdoor Designs and Bailey came out to give us an estimate. Did some research and looked at some of his teams work and knew they were going to be the ones for the job. Two days and they were done. Such attention to detail and the finished product is amazing. Only wish I would have chosen them for the fence as well.”
“We had a good experience with Clark Outdoor Designs. They provided computer images of what the final result would look like – we have worked with several larger contractors and no one has ever provided renderings like that so it made a difference in our choice. He was patient in answering our questions and re-working the estimate until we landed on exactly what we wanted.”
