He has constantly worked on increasing his skills through every avenue available the last 16 years that I have known and worked with him. Yes he is younger then most but his design knowledge is one of the best in the pool industry. If I was going to hire someone to design my pool he would be on my short list, even though he studied Landscape Architecture at OSU. If you want to invest in the best outdoor space or win a design award call Reid now. **★★★★★ — Dawn Pryor, Dec. 2019** > After interviewing three Pool companies, I had no doubt that Reid Schindler was who I wanted to work with on such an important project. He listened to what I wanted, what I could afford, and helped me to create that "family magnet" in my backyard! **★★★★★ — HU-13434176, Nov. 2019** > Schindler Design Co does fantastic work. We have had them design several projects for us and every time it exceeds the clients expectations! We’re building one of his projects currently and the homeowners are absolutely thrilled! **★★★★★ — Janice Sullivan, Jan. 2017** > We were so fortunate to have Reid as the pool designer for our new home! He took a difficult backyard that had an already existing large wall and fence and created a wonderful and fun oasis for our family. He listened to our wish list of items and beautifully designed and integrated them all into a gorgeous pool, hot tub, fire pit and cabana combination. We found him very personable, professional and responsive to our questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Reid to anyone wanting to design and build a pool! **★★★★★ — DeCavitte Properties, Jan. 2017** > Reid has a passion and creative edge for luxury pool designs and outdoor living spaces that make our homes stand apart from the competition. He can blend the desires of the customer with a design that takes advantage of the architecture and overall backyard environment resulting in an outdoor space that is truly exceptional. Reid works for Claffey Pools here in Southlake, TX, so I have the highest confidence that his design will be built with both quality and integrity. We are blessed to have them on our team!! > DeCavitte Properties **★★★★★ — Marisa Lopez, Jan. 2017** > Reid is a true innovator and he is highly recommended! We had what we thought was a great vision for our "backyard vacation" and he improved on it 100%. All we could say was "wow" when he came back with his drawings. He really listens and comes back with an amazing vision. We interviewed several companies and no one came back with such amazing results. The renderings were beautiful and detailed things for an exact look of what our back yard would become. The whole process was amazing and we were always kept informed with each step. We started our pool/patio process at the end of an entire gutting and reno of our new home. I surely wish Reid could have been our interior contractor too.....best design/construction experience ever! **★★★★★ — Paul Ferrante, Jan. 2017** > Reid is a true visionary, he is smart, understands what his customer wants and executes at a high level. He has the ability to tailor and meet any customers needs as well as work with in any price-point. I was a third time pool builder and was so happy with the Reid's thought process, the ability to understand me and the ability to return the renderings fast and efficiently. I came to him with a 'basic' idea of what I wanted and he morphed it into a spectacular reality. I wish I had used him the last time I built a pool! Reid presents many options without trying to overwhelm his customer. Reid offers candid and honest feedback and works with little or no ego, he is a true professional. **★★★★★ — Quinn Liu, Jan. 2017** > Highest recommendation for Reid. He designed our pool/patio area. He was very professional and took the time to explain all of our options. He is an excellent designer. He really listened to what we wanted while still giving us his own design inputs **★★★★★ — Vicki, Jan. 2017** > Reid designed my pool in Katy, TX. He had me put in a few things I would never have thought of and those turned out to be my favorite parts of the pool. He also kept everything within my budget. Excellent designer and excellent to work with. He is now helping with my design for a pool in OK. **★★★★★ — Steve Kelly, Jan. 2017** > We worked with Reid to design our new "backyard oasis". We didn't have what I would consider a lot of room to do what I ultimately wanted, but that didn't stop Reid at all as he immediately went to work to listen to what we wanted and come up with a few options to work from. We are now half way through our project and I believe the design is as good as it could ever get thanks to his help. I found Reid both personable and professional and would recommend him. ## Selected projects - [Quail Creek Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/quail-creek-contemporary-pj-vj~7381126) - Location: Oklahoma City, OK - Photos: 8 - Description: This project was driven by a homeowner that wanted to pack a list of high end features into a small backyard that was handicapped by a 10' easement. The solution was to build a pool that was close to 60' long so that the visual aspect of the water would continue throughout the whole house even though the swimmable portion is really only on one end. Between the perimeter overflow spa, the step pads across the water to the golf course fire pit, and the privacy walls that double as a beautiful back… - [Contrast & Columns](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contrast-and-columns-pj-vj~6477345) - Location: Jones, OK - Photos: 9 - [Mesta Park Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mesta-park-modern-pj-vj~6477350) - Location: Oklahoma City, OK - Photos: 6 - [Structured Straightline](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/structured-straightline-pj-vj~5950285) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 9 - [Radial Relaxation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/radial-relaxation-pj-vj~5950291) - Location: Flower Mound, TX - Photos: 6 - [Compact Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/compact-contemporary-pj-vj~2620829) - Location: Grapevine, TX - Photos: 12 - [Cedar Creek Lake Resort](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cedar-creek-lake-resort-pj-vj~5578316) - Location: Mabank, TX - Photos: 10 - Description: This incredible lake front weekend property spans over 2 acres with pine trees & native oaks. The biggest challenge in this natural landscape was to design a massive project that did not cause us to remove or cut down a single tree and also nestled comfortably into the over 10’ of hillside in the yard. The design consists of an upper play pool, lower diving pool, 15 person hot tub, 32’ slide, 2 tv’s that pop up out of the planter beds, 100’ of beach, swim up cabana, and a river that pulls water… - [New American Traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-american-traditional-pj-vj~5578332) - Location: Grand Prairie, TX - Photos: 8 - Description: This unique “courtyard” backyard was a long time in the making. When this client purchased a historical home dubbed the “New American Home” designed by Robert A.M. Stern, they knew that their idea of building a family pool in the backyard would have to ensure every detail was thought out so the end result would blend perfectly with the home. The shape of the pool is a mix of traditional styling, but with a spa that adds in some contrast with a unique shape. The mix of old brick from the pre-exis… - [Backyard Escape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/backyard-escape-pj-vj~5509522) - Location: Colleyville, TX - Photos: 6 - [Straightline Elegance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/straightline-elegance-pj-vj~2227490) - Location: Keller, TX - Photos: 5 - Description: This straightline swimming pool evolved from small, useless, sloping backyard & a home owner with a desire for a clean, effective design.

The developer had placed a retaining wall directly in the middle of the yard which created an unsightly view from the living areas and the client wanted to remove the wall and create something more relaxing to sit next to off of their patio. Utilizing the existing elevation, we were able to create a series of basins and falls as well as a beautiful outdoor kitchen area perfect for entertaining. Designed… - [Swim Up Luxury](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/swim-up-luxury-pj-vj~2966678) - Location: Frisco, TX - Photos: 14 - Description: This backyard oasis was created out of a empty grass lot with over 3' of elevation change. Being a corner lot, the fence lines and set backs put heavy constraints on the project, but we were still able to give the client every option that he had in his wish list, all while creating the best views out of the main back windows on the home. With a 30' swim up bar, sun bench, firepit, spa, storage room, bathroom, and in-floor cleaning system, this project is the definition of luxury.

With a 80' slope outside of the homeowner's backdoor, we needed to remove & rework an existing retaining wall as well as add in over 20 concrete piers to support the pool and outdoor additions. The homeowner wanted to enlarge their existing porch and the solution was to extend their patio two story patio out, add a fireplace and shade arbor over a new kitchen. The homeowner also used their hot tub daily so they wanted an above ground hot tub.

It looks absolutely incredible...fantastic project! A: It really is a great tile and best of all it is a ceramic so you don’t have some of the troubles that glass tiles bring with swimming pools. It’s a 1/2”x1/2” painted ceramic from Stone Avenue in Dallas. They have a great show room if you want to take a look at everything they have to offer. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
