Your Own Backyard

Why a Private Pool in Craig Ranch?

Craig Ranch is built for an active lifestyle — trails, a 75,000 sq ft fitness center, and championship golf next door. A private pool adds a place to unwind at home.

Steps From the Back Door

Your own pool is right outside, ready for an early swim or a late one, on your schedule.

Recover After a Round or a Workout

A heated spa is a warm soak after a round, a ride, or a workout — right in your own backyard.

Luxury That Fits

A compact pool can still have the details — a spa, in-pool loungers, a fire feature, and lighting that carries into the evening.

Compact Luxury

Big Design on a Compact Lot

Lots in recent Craig Ranch listings run roughly 0.12 to 0.20 acres. On a lot that size, every foot matters — so we design the pool, spa, and patio together, choose features that earn their space, and keep room to sit, cook, and gather.

Spools and Compact Pools

A spool, a plunge pool, or a compact geometric pool gives you water of your own and a spa-like soak without crowding the patio.

Golf Course and Canal Lots

If your lot faces the golf course or sits along the Estates canal system, we orient the pool and seating toward the view while keeping to setback and fencing requirements.

See the Layout in 3D

On a compact lot, a few feet decide whether the patio feels open or crowded. A photorealistic 3D rendering lets you adjust the layout before construction begins.

Our Process

Confirming Your HOA & City of McKinney Permits

Craig Ranch has several active HOAs, so the first step is confirming which one governs your lot. Here's what Prestige handles for you.

Your HOA, Confirmed First

With several active HOAs in Craig Ranch, confirming which one governs your lot is part of our process — before design begins — so the plan is built around the right guidelines from the start.

Architectural Review Package

If your HOA requires architectural review, Prestige prepares and submits the architectural review package for you — drawings, material specs, and any required follow-up.

City of McKinney Permits & Inspections

The City of McKinney requires a residential building permit for all pool construction. Prestige manages the entire permitting process — from initial application through all required inspections — so you don't have to deal with the City directly.

Common Questions

FAQs for Craig Ranch Homeowners

Lots in recent Craig Ranch listings run roughly 0.12 to 0.20 acres, so the right answer is often a compact design — a spool, a plunge pool, or a smaller geometric pool with a spa — laid out to meet setback requirements. We assess your lot during a free design consultation and show you the result in 3D before you commit.

It depends on where your home is. Craig Ranch has several active HOAs, so confirming which one governs your lot is part of our process. We confirm it before design begins, then prepare and submit the architectural review package if that HOA requires one.

It gives the backyard a view worth designing around. We orient the pool, spa, and seating toward the course or the water, while keeping to your HOA's guidelines and City of McKinney setback and fencing requirements.

Yes. On a smaller lot, the details carry the design — a raised or attached spa, in-pool loungers on a tanning ledge, a fire feature, and lighting that carries into the evening. You can see and feel finishes at our Frisco showroom and review the full design in 3D before construction begins.

Yes. The City of McKinney requires a residential building permit for all pool construction, including site plans, structural engineering, and compliance with setback and fencing requirements. Prestige manages the entire permitting process — from initial application through all required inspections — so you don't have to deal with the City directly.

North Texas has expansive clay soil that shifts with moisture changes. It is common and manageable, but it is a reason to choose a builder who knows local soil conditions. Prestige engineers for it — proper steel reinforcement, beam design, and drainage are critical to a pool that holds up in McKinney.
