From the first design sketch to the final stone, you are choosing a team that values your home’s architecture, understands the unique demands of Texas terrain, and treats your family like our own.

I had a 16 year old pool that was Texas weather worn. Fossil Creek did a total face lift of the pool and deck. Everything turned out beautiful and actually looks better than it did when it was brand new. All the folks at Fossil Creek were very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend them if you need a pool or if you have an old pool needing renovation.

We talked to three pool builders including Fossil Creek Pools and chose Fossil Creek Pols to build our dream pool. Fossil Creek pools is an outstanding pool builder that pay’s very close attention to detail. Was instrumental in explaining all the options, pro’s and con’s to hep us make the best educated decision. The pool took around 4 months from “dig to dive”. Everyone that has come over to see it is absolutely amazed and impressed with it. Mark, Paul and the rest of the staff are absolutely a delight to work with. Don’t pass on talking to them when you are evaluating your pool builder.

Fossil creek built us a beautiful pool! We were extremely pleased with all the crews that came to work on our project. They were hard workers and always left our project clean and ready for the next stage! Our salesman, Paul, was very responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work with. as was our project supervisor, Juan. The owner, Mark, was always available to answer questions as well. That’s why we chose a small, family owned company from the 4 estimates we got to build our pool. I can’t say enough good things about the entire experience!
