We design and build custom swimming pools using advanced 3D modeling technology. Our process includes free initial renderings with unlimited revisions to ensure client satisfaction. Our master stone masons install premium tile and coping work while maintaining strict budget controls. Projects range from geometric pool designs to organic-shaped recreational spaces across Austin and surrounding areas.

Our outdoor kitchen designs transform backyards into functional entertainment spaces. We create customized layouts that integrate with existing pool and patio configurations while working within client budgets. Each installation includes durable materials and weather-resistant components designed for Texas climate conditions. Our team ensures seamless integration with other outdoor living elements.

This technology allows clients to preview design elements and make adjustments without incurring additional costs. The process ensures clear expectations for both parties and minimizes potential misunderstandings during project execution.

Report
We hired Doug to build our pool in in 2016. The design was exactly what we wanted and the pool was completed within 3 months. We were very pleased with the project and hired them to do a small kitchen project to replace the lighting. That took a week and came out great. Last year we hired Doug to do a our kitchen and bathroom remodels. They came out great! One thing I liked about Doug was he let me purchase a lot of the materials and fixtures and his team did the construction. He also gave me great recommendations for things they don't do, like window replacement. Clearly we have been very happy with the work and we will use Chaparral for our next project.

Very responsive to changing needs as the remodel was going on. They rebuilt our master bath, combined two rooms for a bigger game room, and put in a killer outdoor kitchen. Every time there was a new sub coming out or if there was ever a question, they were always on site (even though their office is on the other side of town). They were very interactive in selecting materials, accessories, etc. They made great recommendations which made the final product look great.

Two years into my Chaparral pool build and I cannot express enough how much my family loves our pool! Doug, the owner, actually invented the swimming pool. I think. From the first shovel scoop to adding the last drop of water, Doug was there to see everything was up to his standards. After the build he has even helped my friends and neighbors with additional patio projects. I feel confident recommending this company if your looking for a solid pool builder.

We love our pool and patio. Doug built our pool and patios in 2016. They did a great job. We have since hired Doug for two interior remodeling projects and he is fair priced, and gets the job done right. Services: Roadworks, Design

I began my journey with Doug Kurtz and The Chaparrel Group when he renovated my Medical Clinics. He went on to design and build our dream home in Austin. Since then he has put in an incredible custom pool, and is currently working on a beautiful deck to marry our home with our pool. My wife and I cannot wait.
