About

A pool company small enough that the owner is on your job.

Big Sur Pool Co. was started in San Antonio in 2018 by Brad Ynostrosa, after more than twenty-five years building custom homes. That background is the whole point: a pool is a structure, and it is built by the same trades, held to the same tolerances and inspected the same way as the house it sits behind.

We build custom gunite pools, spas, outdoor kitchens and backyard structures across San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country. We are licensed, insured and bilingual, we handle the engineering and the permits, and we deliberately take on fewer projects a year so the owner can be on every one of them.

Our values

Quality over quantity, on every job we take.

Brad is on your job

The owner walks the site, runs the design meeting and is there through construction. You are not handed to a rotating crew.

You see it before we dig

Every design comes with a 3D rendering, so changes happen on screen instead of in concrete.

Licensed, insured and bilingual

Permits and engineering handled for you, and the whole team works in English and Spanish.

Who you deal with

The person who quotes it is the person who builds it.

There is no salesperson to hand you off to. Brad walks the property, draws the design, runs the build and is there at the final inspection.

Brad Ynostrosa

OwnerBig Sur Pool Co.

Brad came to pools after more than 25 years building custom homes, and brings over 30 years of construction management and design experience to every project. He runs the first site walk, the design meeting and the build itself, and takes the view that a pool is the centrepiece of a backyard rather than an add-on to a house.
