Our Work

What We Build
Custom gunite pools designed for Katy's soil conditions and HOA requirements. Every shape, every feature — built to last.
Replastering, new tile, coping upgrades, and deck resurfacing to breathe new life into your existing Katy pool.
Raised spas, grottos, waterfalls, and fire bowls — custom water elements that turn your backyard into a true resort escape.
Custom outdoor kitchen builds to complement your pool. Grills, countertops, and refrigeration built for Katy's outdoor lifestyle.
HOA pools, apartment amenities, and resort-style commercial aquatic spaces built to the same standard as our finest residential projects.
"We interviewed three pool companies before choosing Rhino, and it wasn't a close decision. They were the only builder who came to our Katy property before quoting, asked the right questions, and actually listened to what we wanted. The finished pool exceeded every expectation."
Marcus & Danielle T. — Katy, TX
Katy, Texas has become one of the fastest-growing suburbs in Greater Houston, and with that growth has come an explosion in custom pool construction. The area's master-planned communities — Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Firethorne, and Elyson — are known for their large lots, high-income households, and strong HOA design standards. Building a pool in Katy means navigating those HOA requirements carefully, and Rhino Pool Pros has the experience to handle every submission, revision, and approval on your behalf.
Katy sits primarily on Beaumont Clay and Houston Black Clay soils — some of the most expansive and problematic soils in Texas for pool construction. These soils expand dramatically when wet and contract when dry, which can cause structural damage to pools that aren't engineered correctly. Our gunite pools are designed with this in mind: we engineer the shell thickness, steel reinforcement, and footing depth specifically for Katy's soil profile, so your pool holds its shape for decades.
Drainage is another critical factor in Katy pool builds. Fort Bend and Harris County have specific drainage and impervious cover regulations that affect how much hardscape you can add around a pool. We work with local engineers and permit offices in Katy, Cinco Ranch MUD, and surrounding districts to ensure your project meets all local requirements — no surprises after the concrete is poured.
The Katy ISD area has seen significant appreciation in home values, and a well-designed pool and outdoor living space is consistently one of the highest-ROI improvements a homeowner can make. Buyers in Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch actively seek homes with resort-style backyards. Rhino Pool Pros designs pools that add lasting value — not just a hole in the ground, but a complete outdoor living environment that elevates your property.
Every Katy pool project begins with a free on-site consultation at your property. We walk the yard, review your HOA guidelines, discuss your vision, and return with a detailed written proposal — itemized, transparent, and specific to your lot. No lump-sum quotes. No surprises.
