Water Features
Pool Features for Your Pool in Greater Houston Area, League City, Friendswood, Pearland & Surrounding Areas
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 pool 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.
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.
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.
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 and 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.
Tanning Shelf
A flat ledge typically located at the entrance of the pool. This tanning ledge is the perfect location for a lounge chair or the
sun-worshipper who wants to avoid getting overheated from the sun or fully submerged while enjoying the pool.
Slides
Gone are the days of the unattractive plastic tube slide. Our custom built pool water slides are designed to accentuate your overall
pool design while offering hours of pool fun. Each water slide is crafted to fit your pool’s shape with colors and materials that complement your coping and pool deck.
LED Lighting
The use of LED lighting in your backyard poolscape adds a whole new dimension to the look you’re trying to achieve. Whether you’re
incorporating LED accent lighting throughout the project or into custom features like rainfalls, bubblers, and steps, a little illumination goes a long way.
Raised Spa
A raised spa not only makes easier access to the spa, but adds a luxury element to your backyard. A raised spa stands
out in the design as opposed to a pool level spa.
