Founded upon true customer relations excellence, high quality products and building techniques, and a creative approach to designing to fit the needs of the client and the yard are the critical ingredients to a successful company. Founder Steve Terry has been in the swimming pool industry for over 18 years and has been featured on HGTV's Landscapers Challenge several times as well as in several industry magazines. " I really enjoy my work and the great relationships I build with each of our customers", says Steve. " My true mission is to be known as the one pool company that always exceeds our customers expectations, builds every project with the wow factor, and stands behind every aspect of our work." Starwood Pools believes that aiming for 'success' is a positive direction to running a company. "Success is achieved with experience and determination", says Steve.</p>
<p>Starwood Pools doesn't believe that building the most pools will make you the best builder. In fact, taking on too many projects at once will sacrifice your ability to uphold great quality and customer relations. "If you maintain building fewer projects each year, you will certainly have happier customers. Too many pool companies these days think that they are the best pool company because they build as many pools as they can each year. They couldn't be more wrong," says Steve. Starwood Pools sees the great value in running a company that focuses on positive customer relations with great quality at a fair price. The future is very bright for Steve and the Starwood Pools team as they know their customers will enjoy their Starwood Pool from the designing and building process, to the many years of family enjoyment that comes with owning a swimming pool.&nbsp;</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.starwoodpools.com/press/rss-comments-entry-3555174.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>It's Barbeque Time!</title><dc:creator>Starwood Pools</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2009 14:40:46 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.starwoodpools.com/press/2009/4/4/its-barbeque-time.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">154405:1434337:3554997</guid><description><![CDATA[<h1><span style="font-size: 50%;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Starwood Pools is proudly featuring the full line-up of barbecues and outdoor kitchen items by Bull Outdoor Products, Inc.

Starwood is ahead of most of the other industry builders in an effort to be more environmentally aware. This new pump technology uses up to 60% less energy than the widely used single speed pool filter pumps. Since the filter pump on a swimming pool ideally needs to run every day, sometimes as much as eight hours a day, this adds up to a substantial energy savings to the consumer. Starwood is proud of this contribution to our environment and will continue to look to new types of energy efficiencies for swimming pools.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.starwoodpools.com/press/rss-comments-entry-2054199.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Modeling for Toll Brothers</title><dc:creator>Starwood Pools</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 18 Jun 2008 22:07:50 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.starwoodpools.com/press/2008/6/18/modeling-for-toll-brothers.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">154405:1434337:1930911</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Starwood Pools has teamed up with Toll Brothers Homes in Austin, Texas to build the swimming pool for the model home in their Vistas at Lake Travis Development. The backyard and swimming pool promises to be a spectacular showcase that blends well with the incredible home they have built. Many of the houses Toll Brothers is building&nbsp;along with the model home overlook beautiful Lake Travis. The swimming pool will have a 40'&nbsp;vanishing edge wall complimented by automatic fire-pots on either side. The entire spa is surrounded by the pool as the spa wall is itself a vanishing edge. The pool will be finished out with a Pebble-Tec interior surface, the surrounding deck is a textured rock-stamped finish. With too many items to list, we recommend you take some time to view this beautiful home and surrounding landscape. The Vistas at Lake Travis is located off Bee Creek Road in the Texas Hill Country just north of the City of Bee Caves.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.starwoodpools.com/press/rss-comments-entry-1930911.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>SWP Now Offers Putting Greens and Synthetic Turf</title><dc:creator>Starwood Pools</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 19 Sep 2007 17:49:54 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.starwoodpools.com/press/2007/9/19/swp-now-offers-putting-greens-and-synthetic-turf.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">154405:1434337:1419040</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Starwood Pools&nbsp;is proud to announce their newest division; <em>Signature Putt and Play.</em> With the demand of water conscious environmentally friendly solutions to outdoor landscaping and lifestyles, the synthetic turf grass is the perfect alternative to the extremely thirsty lawns of yesterday.
