Gunter, TX is having a moment. Once a quiet ranching community in Grayson County, Gunter is now one of the fastest-growing small towns in the region — pulling in families from Celina, Prosper, and Frisco who want space, land, and a slower pace without giving up access to everything DFW offers. New developments are going up along the US-75 corridor, acreage lots are changing hands, and Gunter is starting to feel like Celina did five years ago — except with bigger backyards.
For a pool builder, that's the headline. Gunter's lots are larger than anything you'll find in the suburbs to the south, and that opens up design possibilities that just don't exist on a quarter-acre lot in Frisco. Real outdoor living — full pools, outdoor kitchens, pavilions, fire features, sport courts, sometimes the whole package — fits comfortably on a Gunter property. The constraint isn't space; it's imagination.
Prestige Pool & Patio serves Gunter from our $10M Frisco showroom, about 20 miles south on Preston Road or Highway 289. It's the largest pool showroom in DFW — and we've spent the last few years building across Celina, Prosper, and the rural areas just south, so Gunter feels like the natural next step.
Why Gunter Homeowners Are Building Pools
Gunter doesn't look like the rest of DFW, and the pool projects here don't either. A few things make it different:
- Lot sizes that actually have room. Most Gunter properties run from half an acre to ten-plus acres. That's the difference between fitting a pool and designing a backyard — pools with room for a real deck, full outdoor kitchen, pavilion, fire pit, and lawn for the kids without anything feeling crammed.
- New construction lots. A lot of Gunter homes are recent builds or still under construction. Clean lots and fresh utility runs mean we can rough in gas and electrical for the pool while the home is going up — cleaner build, faster install, no tear-up later.
- Forever-home mindset. Gunter homeowners aren't flipping. They're investing in the house and the property for the long haul, which is why a 15-year warranty matters more here than almost anywhere else we work.
- Real property value upside. A well-designed pool and outdoor living space is a serious value-add in a fast-growing market. Gunter is on the upward part of that curve.
What We Build in Gunter
Prestige is end-to-end. We design it, build it, furnish it (grills, patio furniture), and maintain it — all under one roof. Here's what that typically covers on a Gunter project:
Custom Pools
Geometric, freeform, negative-edge, spas, tanning ledges with bubblers, sport-bottom layouts — every pool we build is custom-designed to the lot and the family. On Gunter's larger lots, we often go bigger and more architectural: long lap-friendly runs, raised spas with spillovers, water features that anchor the view from the house.
Outdoor Kitchens & Living
The pool is usually the starting point, not the finish line. Most Gunter builds include some combination of outdoor kitchen, pergola or pavilion, fire pit or fireplace, and covered patio. The grills come from our showroom — Yoder, Big Green Egg, Twin Eagles, Memphis, Lynx — so the whole outdoor kitchen is built around a grill you've actually seen and fired up.
Pool Service & Maintenance
Once it's built, our CPO-certified techs handle the weekly service, chemicals, and equipment care. One company, one phone number, one point of contact for the life of the pool.

Recent Gunter Pool Projects
Three Gunter builds that show what's possible when the lot has room to breathe. Different styles, different families, same standard.
Geometric Pool with Spa & Putting Green — Gunter, TX
A clean geometric pool with a spa that spills directly into the main pool via a negative edge. LED bubblers and color-changing deck jets put on a show day and night. The backyard has its own chipping and putting green, a full outdoor kitchen with grill, smoker, and refrigerator, a fire pit seating area next to the spa, and a guest house with a serve-up window opening onto the dining area. This is what Gunter's lot sizes make possible.
Freeform Pool with Arbor & Pergola — Gunter, TX
A natural-style freeform pool with a premium glass bead plaster finish, generous tanning ledge with bubbler fountain, and a stone retaining wall that wraps the pool's curves. A stone column arbor frames the poolside entry; a cedar pergola covers the patio with recessed lighting and lounge seating. 6x12 travertine decking and flush-mounted Hide skimmers keep the edge clean. Built on a large open Gunter lot — feels like a private hill country escape.
Modern Farmhouse Pool with Diving Platform — Gunter, TX
A geometric pool dropped into a modern farmhouse courtyard. The raised spa runs triple sheer descents into the pool, a built-in diving platform with floating stone steps anchors the deep end, and river pebble accents border the pool and steps for natural texture against the clean concrete deck. The home's wings and covered patio frame the pool on three sides — a private, resort-feeling courtyard on an expansive Gunter property.
