"The attention to details. The way he listen and make your vision come to life. The follow up. His SERVICE is another level. He was everyday at the property making sure that everything was perfect. We recommend him 100%. Once to talk to him you will understand. Thank you Bart for everything."

Cypress Homeowner
"Bart did my pool and outdoor kitchen. He put up with our many design changes and was very helpful in guiding us on design and material selection. He was very meticulous during the project, even improving on plans as the project went along. I highly recommend his services.
Chris Lin

"After spending over two years looking for a pool builder and receiving multiple designs/bids, we were so happy we went with Bart at Russell Outdoor Living. He was so patient, meticulous and responsive throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend his company to anyone looking to build a pool - you won't be disappointed!"

The Owner
Our Edge. Your Advantage.
Native Houstonian.
In the pool and outdoor living industry, there is no substitute for time spent in the field. Anyone can deliver a design that looks stunning on a screen, but building it to last a lifetime requires a different kind of insight. Our Owner didn’t start behind a desk. He started in the field. Then in 2012, Russell Outdoor Living + Custom Pools was founded. By combining high-end design with the sharpest field knowledge in the industry, we don’t just build outdoor spaces, we build legacies. We call that "The Edge". And as a native Houstonian who has lived here his entire life, expect a level of accountability and local expertise you won't find anywhere else. To us, your project isn't just another job. It’s helping a friend and neighbor in the community we’ve been part of for generations. Discover how his journey has lead him to YOUR BACKYARD!
