From our oversized plumbing and filters to our energy-efficient equipment and our self-cleaning pool systems, a pool from Richard’s Total Backyard Solutions costs less to own and takes less time and energy to maintain.

Super Spa

Our unique “Super Spa” is loaded with special features including larger size, slope walls, curved benches, recessed jet fittings, and much more, including a floor massage for you’re for aching feet.

Over 30 YEARS IN BUSINESS

The #1 biggest problem with most pool builders is that they go out of business. And when they do, your pool has no warranty. Now at 30 years strong, Richard’s Total Backyard Solutions is one of only seven pool builders in the Houston area that’s been around that long.

Award-Winning

It’s one thing to say you build a great pool. It’s quite another to have other experts from around the industry compare your pools to others, and hand the award to you. We’ve won more than a dozen industry awards for our designs and craftsmanship.

About the owner – JR Richard

In 1987, I started Richard’s with every penny that I had saved. My only thought was to work hard, carry the best products, and always do right for my customers. I learned these principles from my father who inspired me to develop the “Do Right” Philosophy: “Do Right” Products, “Do Right” Prices, and “Do Right” Services.

Today, Richard’s Total Backyard Solutions still uses these principles, and boasts over 7,000 satisfied customers. My wife, Julie, and I are active full-time in the business. And our children get involved once in awhile too, such as their role in a recent television commercial.

We must be doing something right, because referrals from our satisfied customers have helped us become one of the top pool builders in the greater Houston area. And now our business is debt-free, profitable and growing.
