Crafting Custom Backyard Paradises Across the Bay Area since 1989.
"Most pool companies call it 'design' when they show you three pictures and ask which one you like. That's not design. That's picking from a catalog."
— The Legendary Difference
Real swimming pool design means spending time in your actual Los Altos Hills or Saratoga backyard. Where does the sun hit at 2pm? Where's the wind coming from?
Designing for Your Lifestyle
The Exercise Pool
You swim laps every morning? You need a lap pool, probably 40-45 feet long with dedicated lane lines.
The Family Oasis
Got small kids? A beach entry (zero-entry) allows them to walk in gradually like the ocean.
The Entertainer
A raised spillover spa creates a social hub where people can hang out while others swim.
Sloped Lot Solutions
Bay Area hills in Portola Valley require working with topography, not fighting it, using infinity edges.
Technical Site Analysis
We measure everything. We check the slope, utility lines, setbacks, and access. We had a job in Atherton where the only way to get a bobcat in was through the neighbor's yard. These details prevent disasters.
Sun & Shade Patterns
Full sun saves on heating costs. Tree cover adds shade but increases leaf maintenance.
Material Selection
We bring tile, stone, and plaster samples to your actual site to see them in natural light.
Equipment Hiding
We figure out where to tuck away pumps and heaters so they don't wreck your view.
3D Rendering
Walk through your pool before we dig. Make changes on paper, not in concrete.
Design Credits
Design fees depend on complexity, but they're always 100% credited back if you hire us for your pool construction.
