Pools across Southern California.

New pools, remodels, repairs and weekly cleaning from the Inland Empire to the coast. The 3D designer works with any address; where county records are available it draws your real lot lines.

Where we work

Four regions, one way of working.

Southern California is one big pool market, but it doesn't behave like one. A backyard in Menifee, a hillside lot in the San Gabriel Valley, a compact yard in Irvine and a canyon-edge parcel in North County San Diego all need different answers about size, shape, heating, drainage and permits. Climate, lot size, soil, slope and HOA rules change the plan more than most people expect, and they change what a pool costs to build and to keep clean.

The pages below give a plain overview of each region we take inquiries from: what the weather does to a pool, what kinds of lots are common, who issues permits and where HOAs come into it. If you already know what you want, the fastest next step is the 3D designer, which shows a real-size pool on your lot with a planning estimate. If you are still figuring out a budget, start with what pools cost here and how pool financing works.

Backyard pool in Inland Empire
01

Inland Empire

Temecula · Murrieta · Menifee · Riverside · Corona · Rancho Cucamonga

Hot, dry summers, big master-planned neighborhoods and plenty of yards with room for a pool. It's also where our designer draws real lot lines from county records.

The Inland Empire covers Riverside and San Bernardino counties, including Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar and Lake Elsinore. Long, hot summers make a pool a real part of daily life here, and they also make water chemistry work harder, since heat and strong sun burn through chlorine. Many neighborhoods are master-planned, so lots are fairly predictable and HOA review before the city permit is common. This is where our weekly pool cleaning routes start, and for Riverside County addresses the designer draws your actual parcel lines from county records. See our guides to Riverside County pool permits and HOA approval in Temecula.

Orange County

Irvine · Mission Viejo · Yorba Linda · Huntington Beach · Anaheim Hills

Milder coastal weather, smaller lots in many neighborhoods, and a lot of HOAs. Good design matters more than square footage here.

Orange County ranges from compact lots in newer planned communities to larger hillside parcels in places like Yorba Linda and Anaheim Hills. Near the coast, mild weather and morning marine layer mean many owners add a heater or cover to get a longer swim season, while inland neighborhoods run warmer. HOAs are common, so plan on architectural review. On tighter lots, good design matters more than size: a plunge pool, a rectangle with a sun shelf, or a spa that doubles as a water feature often fits better than a big freeform. We take design, remodel and new pool inquiries here.

San Diego County

Escondido · San Marcos · Poway · Chula Vista · Fallbrook

From coastal neighborhoods to hot inland valleys and canyon-edge lots, San Diego County yards vary as much as its weather does.

San Diego County is several climates in one. Coastal neighborhoods stay mild, while inland valleys around Escondido, Poway and East County see much hotter summers and longer swim seasons. Sloped and canyon-edge lots are common, which can mean retaining walls, raised spa walls and careful drainage, all priced after a site visit. Water-wise landscaping is the norm, and some lots sit in fire hazard zones that affect landscaping and construction details. The designer works with any address in the county on a typical lot, and we take design, remodel and new pool inquiries across the region.

Los Angeles County

the San Fernando Valley · the San Gabriel Valley · Santa Clarita · the Antelope Valley · the South Bay

Lots of older pools ready for a remodel, hot valley summers, and hillside lots that need careful engineering.

Los Angeles County has a huge number of older pools, many built decades ago in the valleys. A lot of them are good candidates for a remodel rather than replacement: new plaster or pebble, tile and coping, a safer depth profile and modern variable-speed equipment. Valley summers are hot and coastal areas stay milder. Hillside lots often need soils or geology reports and extra engineering before a new pool can be permitted. Permits come from your city's building department or, in unincorporated areas, the county. We take design, remodel, repair and new pool inquiries here.

Service scope

Not sure we cover you?

Here is how our service area actually works. Weekly cleaning and water chemistry is done by our own team on set routes, and those routes start in the Inland Empire. Enter your address on the pool cleaning page to see an instant price and whether your home is on a route. Design, remodel, repair and new pool inquiries are taken across Southern California, and construction and repair work is matched to independently licensed partner contractors who work in your area. You get the contractor's name and license number in writing before any work starts, and you can check that license yourself. If a project or an address is outside what we and our partners cover, we say so plainly instead of stringing you along. The simplest way to find out is to send a request or start in the designer.
