Custom poolsSouth Bay, Peninsula & Santa Cruz
Water that glows after the sun goes down.
After dark
Lighting is half the design
Every color is a tap away on your phone: seafoam for a quiet night, red for a party, ice blue when you want it to look cold and clean.

Signature build
The raised vanishing edge
Water spills over a knife-edge weir into a catch basin wrapped in iridescent glass tile, and the whole wall lights up at night.

Hillside pool piers
Anchored to bedrock. Built to last.
On hillside lots we drill reinforced concrete piers down to bedrock and tie them together with a grade beam, so the pool rests on rock instead of loose fill.

Site visit & design
We walk the yard, talk through how you'll use it and sketch a layout with materials and a clear price.
Engineering & permits
Soils report, pier layout and structural plans for slopes and raised walls. We handle the city permits too.
Build
Drilled piers and grade beams on hillside lots, then excavation, steel, gunite, plumbing and electrical, then tile, coping and decking. You get updates at every stage.
Startup & walkthrough
We fill, balance the water, set up your lighting and controls, and show you how everything works.
