Custom Pool Builder in Prosper, TX | Luxury Pools & Outdoor Living
Canyon Oak Pools creates custom gunite pools and complete outdoor living environments for homeowners throughout Prosper, Texas. Our projects are designed for families who want the pool, spa, decking, landscape, and entertaining areas to feel like one cohesive extension of the home rather than a collection of separate backyard features.
Prosper properties range from larger estate-style lots to newer residential communities with carefully planned setbacks, easements, HOA requirements, and building envelopes. That makes thoughtful design especially important.
Every Canyon Oak project begins with the property—not a catalog of predetermined pool packages.
Pool Design That Fits the Property
A beautiful conceptual design is only valuable if it can actually be built successfully on the property.
Before a Prosper pool design progresses too far, our team looks at practical conditions including:
- Available backyard space
- Access for construction equipment
- Property easements and setbacks
- Drainage
- Elevations
- Existing patios and structures
- Equipment locations
- Desired outdoor-living features
- Relationship between the pool and the architecture of the home
This approach allows Canyon Oak to solve practical construction challenges within the design itself rather than discovering them after construction begins.
Custom Pool & Outdoor Living Projects in Prosper
Canyon Oak Pools has designed and constructed a wide range of backyards throughout Prosper, including modern and traditional pools, integrated spas, geometric designs, resort-style water features, tanning ledges, fire features, outdoor kitchens, covered entertaining spaces, and extensive hardscape.
Every project is designed around the specific property, so no two are alike. What works on a wide lot backing onto open land is not what works on a tighter lot with eleven feet of side yard access, and the design starts from those conditions rather than from a catalog. You can see completed pools, spas, and outdoor living spaces across our service area in our project gallery.
If you are early in the process, the most useful first step is sending us a copy of your property survey. It lets our design team review setbacks, easements, access, and elevation before anyone starts drawing.
Luxury Doesn’t Mean Overdesigned
Some of the most successful Prosper pools are also the simplest visually.
Luxury can come from proportion, quality materials, clean construction, thoughtful elevations, beautiful tile, properly scaled decking, subtle lighting, carefully placed water features, and strong visual alignment with the home.
Canyon Oak's goal is not to add features simply because they are available. Every element should have a purpose and contribute to the overall design.
For some homeowners
An expansive pool and raised spa with multiple entertaining areas.
For others
A simple geometric pool executed exceptionally well.
Designing for Prosper’s Newer Communities
Many Prosper homes were built with outdoor living in mind, but that doesn’t necessarily mean every backyard is simple to design.
Large homes can create surprisingly limited building areas once easements, setbacks, patios, side yards, equipment, drainage, and HOA restrictions are taken into account.
This is where custom design matters.
A skilled pool designer can use geometry, elevations, decking patterns, landscape areas, and feature placement to make a backyard feel larger and more intentional without forcing too much into the available space.
Pools, Spas & Complete Outdoor Living
For many Prosper homeowners, the pool is only one part of the project.
Canyon Oak can help create a complete outdoor environment incorporating features such as:
In the Water
- Custom gunite swimming pools
- Integrated spas
- Tanning ledges
- Water features
Living and Entertaining
- Outdoor kitchens
- Covered entertaining areas
- Fire features
- Custom decking
Site and Finishes
- Retaining features
- Landscape integration
- Specialty tile and finish selections
The advantage of thinking about these elements together is that dimensions, elevations, materials, utilities, and circulation can be coordinated from the beginning.
How Much Does It Cost to Build a Pool in Prosper?
There is a wide range.
A straightforward custom gunite swimming pool without a spa generally begins around the mid-$80,000s. An integrated spa, expanded decking, upgraded tile and finishes, retaining work, fire or water features, outdoor kitchens, structures, landscaping, unusual access, or complex site conditions will increase the overall investment.
Luxury outdoor-living projects can reach well beyond the cost of the pool itself.
For that reason, Canyon Oak prefers to understand the property and the homeowner's priorities before attempting to provide a meaningful budget range. If you are working out what your project might involve, our guide to planning a pool project covers budgets, bids and timelines, and financing options are worth understanding before you set a number rather than after.
What Makes Canyon Oak Different?
Canyon Oak Pools is intentionally not a high-volume pool company.
Owner Larry Parnell has designed and built custom pools in Texas since 1995. Canyon Oak limits the number of projects it accepts so Larry can remain closely involved in construction and the company can maintain the level of oversight expected on a custom project.
We believe the quality of the finished backyard is influenced by hundreds of small decisions made throughout construction—from elevations and plumbing to tile alignment, decking transitions, equipment, drainage, and finish details.
That is why our company has built its reputation around a simple principle:
WHO YOU BUILD WITH MATTERS®.
Hear from our Homeowners
We were also dealing with a smaller than normal space to work with, as we wanted some of the other finished features of our small yard to be unscathed by adding a pool, and that never came across as a problem for them. Dig to water took less than 45 days, and the process along the way went so much better than we imagined or expected.
All of their subcontractors were timely, courteous and did exceptional work. We never had to ask when is the next phase or why is this taking too long. Our entire project was less than 2 months and I cannot think of many other contractors that can do JUST pools in that time.
They beyond exceeded our expectations! So professional, great communication, absolutely BEAUTIFUL work and the entire team was such a pleasure to work with. We now have a dream pool to match our dream home!!
It took approximately 2.5 months for start to finish with rain every single week, holidays and a freeze! Canyon Oak surpassed our expectations and made the entire process so smooth!
We had a great experience with everyone at Canyon Oaks Pools and the finished product is wonderful. They deserve more than 5 stars. It was less than 6 wks from dig to completion.
They have built teams and contract subs that over-deliver in quality and professionalism. They do not just talk the talk. They take care of their people and their clients.
I was referred to Canyon Oak Pools by my neighbor, and I am so grateful! They completed our pool on time and went above and beyond their promises.
They broke ground on June 17th, and we were swimming by August 17th! If we ever move, we would 100% build another pool with them.
Prosper Pool Builder FAQ
Questions
Does Canyon Oak build pools throughout Prosper?
Yes. Canyon Oak builds custom gunite pools and outdoor living projects throughout Prosper and nearby North Texas communities.
How much room do I need for a pool?
There isn't one standard minimum. Pool feasibility depends on the actual dimensions of the usable backyard after setbacks, easements, drainage areas, existing structures, equipment, and other restrictions are considered.
What should I send Canyon Oak before our first design discussion?
A current property survey is extremely helpful. It allows our designers to evaluate the property before discussing what may realistically fit.
Can you design the outdoor kitchen and pool together?
Yes. Designing all major outdoor features together generally results in better proportions, utility planning, elevations, circulation, and material coordination.
Do you build spas with your pools?
Yes. Integrated gunite spas are common in Canyon Oak projects and can be designed in a number of configurations depending on the style of the pool and backyard.
How long will construction take?
Actual construction timing varies by project complexity, inspections, weather, specialty materials, and other factors. Canyon Oak's focus is maintaining an organized construction sequence while protecting the quality of each phase.
