AND CARE

For more than four decades, Fossil Creek Pools has built, renovated, and maintained some of the most beautiful pools in the Texas Hill Country. We are a family operated company driven by integrity, artistry, and a deep commitment to doing things the right way.

When you choose Fossil Creek, you are choosing a team that treats your home as if it were our own.

Rooted in the Hill Country. Built on Hard Work.

Fossil Creek Pools began with a simple belief: families deserve outdoor spaces that bring people together. What started as a small, highly skilled pool building operation has evolved into a team known for exceptional craftsmanship, technical expertise, and honest service. Over the years, our pools have become the settings for family barbecues, late night swims, sunrise coffees, holiday gatherings, and countless memories. We take that responsibility seriously. Every pool we build carries the pride, precision, and care of our entire team. Our success has never come from building the most pools. It has come from building the best ones.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Craftsmanship First. Always.

At Fossil Creek, we treat every project as a custom design opportunity. We do not recycle templates or mass produce pools. Instead, we build environments shaped by:

Your landscape

Your home’s architecture

Your lifestyle

Your long term needs

Your vision for how you want to live outdoors

We blend creativity with structural expertise, combining timeless craftsmanship with modern engineering. The result is a pool that is

visually stunning

incredibly durable

and uniquely yours

OUR CORE VALUES

These values are not just statements. They are the foundation of every conversation, decision, and build:

We operate with honesty and transparency. No shortcuts, no surprises, no excuses.
