Outdoor Elements is located in Houston, Texas and serves the city and its surrounding areas. With a growing staff and a large fleet of equipment, we are ready to handle jobs of any size and scope. Owner Derek Steele has been in the landscape architecture business for over 18 years and has an outstanding reputation among his peers and with his customers.
We believe in total transparency and want you to know that we only build custom, inground, gunite pools constructed of premium materials produced by trusted manufacturers. A pool and outdoor living space should offer enjoyment for years to come, so we refuse to compromise on quality. Because of this commitment, most of our basic custom pool projects start in the range of $50,000 - $60,000 and go up depending on chosen features.
We know that amazing backyards consist of more than just a beautiful pool. Our design process considers your entire outdoor space including landscaping, living areas and other features. We specialize in working with busy professionals who want a pool and beautiful outdoor living space, but don't have the time or desire to deal with all the moving pieces.
At Outdoor Elements project design is not only the first step in every project it is also considered an art form that combines respect for the land with the craft of creating a beautiful, purposeful space that serves the needs of its users. Whether commercial or residential, our landscape designers, who understand the value of a well-designed and artfully planned project, start each project with carefully drawn, comprehensive plans.
The space outside your home or property should be a comfortable and functional extension of the existing architecture blended with the natural surroundings. Whether constructing an outdoor kitchen or a cozy fire pit, we are mindful of this goal. The Houston climate is ideal for including the outdoors in your living space.

We planned to leave this review as is but the business requested more details. We are residents of an apartment complex where Outdoor Elements does the grounds and we find their work unsatisfactory and their employees unprofessional.

More expensive than other pool builders even though they have less experience. Do yourself a favor and avoid the headache of going with these people.

One stop shop--pool AND landscape design. Derek has an amazing eye. Our design gets compliments all the time. Full-time architect as well, which we liked. Finished on time, super happy. Finished product is excellent.

This was our second time having a pool built in, but our first time using Outdoor Elements. We wanted to create an outdoor living space rather than just a pool to swim in. From our project manager to the construction crews, everyone was extremely professional. I really felt that they cared about our project as much as did. I would recommend Outdoor Elements to anyone who asks. They did not disappoint.

From routine maintenance to complex repairs, I have utilized Outdoor Elements for all manner of landscape maintenance, drainage, pool renovations and repair, outdoor kitchens and patios for many years on my residential and commercial projects. From initial conception to design and the subsequent execution through final completion their teams have all met and/or exceeded all expectations.

We were very impressed with the overall end product and the people at Outdoor Elements. This was the second residential pool we had built and felt like the quality and skill of the folks they had doing the work was second to none. They worked with us on some design changes during the process and always kept us up to date on any cost impacts to let us make informed decisions. The project moved along quickly and the project manager communicated with us multiple times during the week so we always knew what the status was. Highly recommend them!

I've had the pleasure of working for Outdoor Elements as their purchasing agent & now thru the subcontractor side. Great family oriented team that places its work focus on the companies core values. Derek & his team really work hard to ensure all employees demonstrate superior service, professionalism, enthusiasm, dependability, and a big heart towards the customers. If a mistake is made at the job site, they will go out of their way to have it corrected immediately. Shut out to my immediate supervisor while at OE, J. Herrera. The construction subcontractors loved working with her, she is a great

I have been extremely pleased with the service that I've received with Outdoor Elements. As a Luxury Apartment Community Manager, the upkeep of my property is essential to capturing the attention of our elite clientele. Our current residents comment often on how beautiful the landscaping is. JP and Chris are both dedicated in making sure all of our needs are met; as well as educating my team and I on current seasonal trends! Thank you for all you do, JP and Chris! Well done.
I strongly recommend Outdoor Elements.

Worked for OE for a little more than a year now as a sub contractor thanks to Derek for bringing me in on the team . The type of quality pools they build are amazing it’s always something different, something new , new ideas . They are not your basic get in and get out pool builder the amount of details that goes into the build is impeccable . The project managers I’ve had the pleasure working with the longest would be Dawn, Nick ,and Chris it’s been a good experience they have always gave me their 100% always available even for a 9pm text or call to try and get ahead for the next days work

Derek and his team at Outdoor Elements do great work. They incorporated all of our feedback into the design of our backyard, custom pool and renovation of the front of our house and came back with design ideas that blew us away. We couldn't be more pleased. The construction and materials were of high quality. If you're looking to turn your outdoor space into something fantastic, give them a call.
