H&H Tile and Plaster is located in Dripping Springs, Texas about 25 mile outside of Austin. H&H has plastered over 10,000 swimming pools in Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. They specialize in pool finish out for new construction but also handle complete pool renovations. Their services include pool tile, plastering, water features, natural stone waterfalls, decking, flatwork and weeping walls. H&H is an Authorized Applicator for all CL Industries products.

Originally formed in Dallas, the company partnered with Billy Johns and opened the Austin location in 2004. The business has really taken off under Billy’s leadership as he has put a strong emphasis quality craftsmanship and clear communication with H&H’s customers. H&H primarily uses our CrystalStones, SunStone, and Hydrazzo products on both new construction and renovations. Customer service is their number one priority and having the experience and knowledge of an authorized applicator greatly reduces the issues some applicators experience with homeowners following startup of exposed aggregate finishes.

Texas is the largest state in the lower 48. It is also home to our South

Central manufacturing facility located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. This

strategic location allows us to serve not only the Texas market but much

of the territory west of the Mississippi. Texas enjoys a climate that allows

many of it’s residents to use their swimming pools nearly nine months of

the year. The warm climate also allows pool builders and applicators the

opportunity for a 12 month building season. We’d like to introduce you

to a few of our Austin area customers who enjoy the extended building

season; H&H Tile and Plaster, Seasha Pools, and newcomers Stag Pools.

Seasha PoolsSeasha Pools recently celebrated their 30th anniversary. Formed in 1986 by Bobby Stevens, Seasha Pools designs and builds customs swimming pools and spas throughout the Texas Hill Country and Austin area. Every swimming pool Seasha builds is designed to be in harmony with the homeowner’s landscape. Often the natural surroundings of the Texas Hill Country are incorporated into the designs.

Bobby earned an art degree from Southern Methodist University where was a member of the swim and dive team. Following a brief stint as a dive coach for the Dallas school district he began working for a custom home builder. His background in art and swimming coupled with his construction experience led Bobby to start building swimming pools. Bobby’s main focus is on residential pool construction, but his company has worked with commercial developers to build apartment pools, Olympic size pools, and even the Dino Pit at the Austin Nature Center. Seasha Pools prides itself on bringing their client’s idea of a “dream pool” to life. They have never built the same pool twice. Having the myriad of finishes that CL Industries manufactures has been a huge help in creating a unique swimming pool for every customer. SunStone is a popular choice among his customers. Specifically, Midnight Blue has become a favorite to create a deep blue water color to contrast the natural stone decks and coping that often accompany a Seasha Pools’ design.

Dripping Springs, Texas

Stag Pools is a family owned and operated swimming pool company specializing in building luxury pools, spas, and backyard living spaces. Prior to opening Stag Pools, Owner John Staigerwald worked for several years as a managing supervisor of the swimming pool division for a luxury custom home builder in the Austin area. During this time John oversaw the construction of hundreds of luxury swimming pools. For those of you that don’t know, Texans spend a lot of time entertaining outdoors and the backyards are usually extensions of the homes, with the swimming pool as the centerpiece. Don’t forget the summer kitchen for homemade Texas BBQ.

John’s experience with the custom home builder has helped him carve out a niche for Stag Pools. Understanding the new construction market has helped his business tremendously. John is big fan of Hydrazzo Classico, and it suits Stag’s propensity for building luxury pools perfectly. His customers love the myriad of color options and the smooth feel of the polished marble finish.

Many of our customers find inspiration for their swimming pools in natural scenes they’ve encountered on their travels. Whether it’s a spring in a state park or a secluded beach on the Mediterranean Sea we’ve tailored many of our finishes to mimic the water colors nature has given us. Often the water colors found in nature are green in hue. Green water has unfortunately carried a negative stigma for swimming pools, mainly because in the past a green pool meant an unhealthy pool. More often than not the green water was from algae growth which is a result of water chemistry neglect. At CL Industries we believe a healthy green water pool can be equally as stunning as a blue water pool. Over the years we’ve developed finishes in all of our product categories to give our customers stunning green water colors.

We manufacture our pre-blended finishes in Central Florida and Texas. Both states are known for having incredible natural swimming holes, some are spring fed offering crystal clear water. These natural swimming holes have inspired many of our finishes. One swimming hole in particular just outside of Austin was created when the dome of an underground river collapsed thousands of years ago. The natural swimming hole that was left has an inviting light green water color. In Florida, there are literally hundreds of spring fed swimming holes, many of which are on public land or within state parks. Builders and applicators are often asked by homeowners looking to build a pool if there is a finish that can recreate these natural water colors. The answer is an emphatic yes!

Finishes will that will provide a “spring like” green water

CrystalStones Sandy Beach & Caribbean Blue

San Marcos, Texas

Last year we added a CrystalStones Micro to our pebble line of finishes. The response from the select applicators who have tried the finishes has been extremely positive. CrystalStones Micro utilizes the smallest pebble available on the market today. The aggregate is similar in size to our Krystalkrete and SunStone Quartz products. The micro pebble allows for a surprisingly smooth feel while also adding the benefit of added traction and the durability of natural pebble.

Our raw materials are carefully selected for size, smoothness, and luster. CrystalStones Micro is easy to apply through traditional or spray application and can be exposed with nylon brushes or water wands. We are offering eight gorgeous finishes currently for CrystalStones Micro. We offer a 5 year limited warranty, but extended warranties are available through our Authorized Applicators. Transform your poolscape into the ultimate haven with CrystalStone Micro.
