Pool Concepts by Pete Ordaz designs and builds custom outdoor living spaces for San Antonio homeowners who want more than just a pool. From covered patios and pergolas to fully equipped outdoor kitchens and fire features, we create complete backyard environments that take full advantage of San Antonio’s 220+ days of annual sunshine. Every outdoor living project is designed to complement your pool and your home’s architecture — built to last in South Texas heat, humidity, and occasional winter freezes.

Outdoor Living Services in San Antonio

Pool Concepts designs and builds a full range of outdoor living features for homeowners throughout San Antonio, Helotes, Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, and the Texas Hill Country:

  • Covered patios and pergolas — shade structures designed for San Antonio’s intense summer sun, built with materials that hold up against UV exposure and seasonal temperature swings.
  • Outdoor kitchens — custom built-in grills, refrigerators, countertops, sinks, and storage designed for year-round outdoor cooking in South Texas weather.
  • Fire pits and fire bowls — propane and natural gas fire features that extend your outdoor living season through San Antonio’s mild winters.
  • Outdoor fireplaces — custom masonry and prefabricated fireplace structures that serve as a focal point for your backyard entertaining space.
  • Shade structures and ramadas — freestanding and attached shade solutions for pools, patios, and outdoor dining areas.
  • Decorative concrete and pavers — pool decking, patio surfaces, and walkways in materials that stay comfortable underfoot in Texas summer heat.

Outdoor Kitchen Design and Build in San Antonio

Outdoor kitchens are one of the most requested additions for San Antonio homeowners upgrading their backyard. Pool Concepts builds fully functional outdoor kitchens that are engineered for South Texas conditions — stainless steel components, weather-resistant cabinetry, and countertop materials that handle UV exposure and temperature extremes without fading or cracking. We design outdoor kitchens as part of a complete backyard package alongside your pool and patio, creating a cohesive space that works as one unified environment.

Outdoor Living Design for Hill Country Homeowners

Homeowners in Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, Helotes, and the surrounding Hill Country have unique backyard opportunities — larger lots, natural terrain, mature oak and cedar trees, and views that deserve to be enjoyed from a well-designed outdoor space. Pool Concepts has extensive experience designing outdoor living areas that work with Hill Country landscapes rather than against them. We’re also familiar with HOA requirements in master-planned communities throughout the San Antonio metro, including Fair Oaks Ranch, Garden Ridge, and Shavano Park, and can provide the design documentation required for HOA review and approval.

Pool Design & Construction

Pool Concepts designs and builds custom inground pools for San Antonio homeowners throughout Helotes, Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, and the Texas Hill Country. Every pool is designed around your backyard, your budget, and the way your family lives outdoors.

Renovations & Replastering

San Antonio's hard water and intense UV exposure wear down pool surfaces faster than most climates. Pool Concepts restores aging pools with new plaster finishes, tile, coping, and deck resurfacing — making your pool look and feel brand new.

Pool Service, Repair, & Maintenance

Regular maintenance is what keeps a San Antonio pool looking great year-round. Pool Concepts provides weekly service, chemical balancing, equipment repair, and seasonal care for homeowners throughout the Hill Country.

Fantastic work made better by the oversight of JR. We were especially impressed with your salesman, Tom, and his detailed design, and also the incredible work of the excavation, decking and plumbing crews.
