You didn't move to the lake to have an ordinary backyard. Living on Lake LBJ means you already know what good water feels like, and now it's time to bring that same feeling home with a pool that actually belongs here. We've been building pools in the Hill Country since most companies were still figuring out what Central Texas soil looks like, and we've learned that the best pool builders don't just show up with a standard design and hope it works. Your waterfront property has specific needs, and after 38 years of doing this, we know exactly how to handle them.
"At Texas Innovative Pools, we believe every pool should be built with integrity, function, and artistry. And that’s exactly what we deliver".
Trusted Local Expertise
Building near the lake isn't the same as building anywhere else, and we learned that lesson the hard way years ago. Texas Innovative Pools has dealt with every weird soil condition, drainage surprise, and permit requirement that comes with lakefront construction. We're PHTA Certified Pool Builders because we got tired of seeing what happens when people skip the proper training - callbacks, repairs, and unhappy homeowners. Your neighbors have probably seen contractors who showed up, started digging, then acted surprised when they hit unexpected challenges. We don't do surprised. We know what we're going to find before we start because we've been here before, many times.

About Cottonwood Shores
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all anything, especially not pools. Your lake house has its own personality, your family uses outdoor space differently than your neighbors, and your pool should reflect that. We sit down and actually talk about how you live - are you the type who hosts big lake parties, or do you prefer quiet family time? Do you want something that complements your lake view or creates its own focal point? Our 3D design process isn't just fancy technology - it's how we show you what you're getting before anyone starts digging. No surprises, no "that's not what I pictured" moments later.
We've seen what happens when pool builders cut corners, and it's not pretty. Cracks, leaks, equipment failures - all stuff that could have been avoided if someone had just done the job right the first time. Every single person on our crew is working toward their Certified Master Pool Builder certification because we think you deserve people who actually know what they're doing. We build pools that handle Texas weather extremes, from 100-degree summers to surprise ice. storms. When we hand you the keys, you're getting something that's going to work properly for decades, not just until the warranty runs out.
Here's what we figured out after building hundreds of pools: the pool is just the beginning. You're going to want somewhere comfortable to sit, a place to grill, and maybe a fire pit for those cooler lake evenings. We handle all of it because coordinating multiple contractors is a headache you don't need. When we're done, your entire outdoor space works together like it was planned that way from day one. No weird transitions between different materials, no areas that feel like afterthoughts. Just a backyard that makes sense and actually gets used the way you want to use it.
Cottonwood Shores gets it right - you're literally on Lake LBJ, but you can still get to Austin when you need to. People move here because they want that lake life without giving up convenience, and it shows in the way homes are built and maintained. The lots are big enough to do something impressive, the trees are mature enough to provide real shade, and your neighbors understand that outdoor living is the whole point. This isn't a place where pools are just for show - they're for living. When you're ready to entertain friends from the lake or just want to cool off after a day in the Texas sun, you want a pool that's worthy of where you chose to live.
