Water features can bring a whole new dimension to your backyard pool. From something like a sheer descent to a more extravagant feature like a natural waterfall, the concept of moving water attracts attention and gets people talking. By incorporating water features into your poolscape, you’ll not only add an artistic element but more depth and character as well. From tanning ledges, grottos and more, the pool design experts at McKinney Custom Pools can help you select the right water feature that complements your swimming pool and backyard retreat.
Waterfalls
Waterfalls make a classic addition to any pool style and are always popular with children. Our custom designed pool waterfalls offer endless design options - from natural rock waterfalls to flagstone waterfalls and spa spillovers. Read More
Grottos
Create a romantic getaway or a place for pirate's treasure – in your own pool! A grotto uses rock & boulders (natural or man-made) to create a small cave where water runs-off, giving your pool an exotic, tropical element. Read More
Bubblers
Bubblers are fun water features that spout up from shallow pool surfaces like steps and beach entries. When combined with the right aesthetic lighting, they can create striking centerpieces to a variety of swimming pool styles. When placed on a beach entry or tanning deck, they create a fun splash pad for small children and big kids alike. Read More
Sheer Descents & Scuppers
A sheer descent or scupper is a straight, linear water feature that drops a clean, sheet of water into your pool. These water features create a soothing water sound with an elegant, majestic look.
Fire Bowls
Fire water bowls are water features with a split personality! During the day, they are unassuming, but are a great focal point of your swimming pool. At night, they come alive as their flames create a beautiful and dramatic ambiance. Read More
