"After my neighbors got their pool done with California Custom Pools and I saw their beautiful swimming pool. I gave them a call and Met Danny and George they literally transformed my back yard in to the yard of my dreams. They helped us through the entire process. They have excellent customer service and communication. I could not be happier!!! I would recommend them to anyone looking to build a pool or transform their back yard."

"San Juan Pools in Valley Center put in the most beautiful pool and spa for us! Jon Mitchell is such a great guy and always followed through to make sure we were happy and that the job was done right. The price was super affordable and the pool turned out amazing; the pool is nestled between our boulders and they managed to build our spa in spite of some large underground rocks. Other pool companies tried to convince us to move the location, but Jon came through and built an even better pool and spa than we envisioned. Thank you Jon!!! I would have given you 10 stars if I could have!!!"

"My wife and I hired California Smartscapes to complete a 100,000 plus landscaping job at our home in Bay Park. As you can tell by the photos it turned out amazing! In fact, it turned out better than we could have anticipated. The guys were very professional and their effort and work ethic was first class. The team lead by project manager Sal were very responsive to our requests and were there to answer any questions we had. We are excited to spend our weekends and nights outside BBQing, enjoying the fire pit and watching sports! I will say there is no one more excited than our labradooble, Callie! Now, all she wants to do is be outside playing ball on the grass :) Thank you all for making our home complete!"

"We are delighted with the work done by Modern Home Remodeling, to install a classy tiled shower, repaint the interior and replace carpets. Their project manager clearly listened to our needs and wants = to freshen rather than redesign, to keep the oak vanities and good-condition countertops, to correct small “problems” that we’d lived with for decades, and to focus on changes that we’ll enjoy in the ten years that we still plan to live in this home. The tiled shower transformed the shower experience, brought spaciousness to a small room, and was done by an accommodating and experienced crew. The project manager expedited the schedule, committing to a start date of February 20 but beginning the work a month earlier and finishing by February 28, 2023. He brought tile and carpet samples to the house, that both followed the earth tones in our home and created a light pattern-rich tiled shower. Our disruption and moving of personal items was minimized as the painting was done in four days and was followed three days later by a one-day carpet installation. Overall, this remodeling brought us upgrades that we already enjoy, a month of amicable and focused contractors, and efficient planning and execution by Modern Home Remodeling and its subcontractors. Anne and Dave, San Diego"

"Molina’s Exterior transformed our 4000 sf of dirt into a wonderful landscape. Frank and his crew were always on time, courteous and cleaned up at the end of everyday. We had a number of landscapers that we’re unable to give us a quote because of the size work that needed to be done. Frank came in and wasn’t intimidated at all. He is straight forward and honest with his pricing, and worked with us as our plans changed. I would recommend him to anyone needing a reliable landscaper."

FAQs for swimming pool in ground build or installation projects in Poway, CA

Yes, it is possible to build an above-ground infinity or zero-edge pool by raising the deck and surrounding poolscape to create a continuous water edge. This design produces a zero-edge effect when the pool structure is properly elevated. However, additional work to adjust the deck and haul extra dirt can increase labor and land preparation costs.

An infinity pool incurs higher expenses than a regular pool because its specialized design and engineered features demand extra materials and precise construction methods. The design modifications required for a true endless edge raise the overall cost by 20% to 50%. This increase reflects additional structural planning, enhanced finishes, and superior craftsmanship.

An infinity pool is designed with at least one edge over which water flows, creating the appearance of a vanishing edge that seamlessly merges with the surrounding landscape or horizon. The pool has an exposed wall that is slightly lower than the water level, allowing water to spill over into a catch basin below, where it is recirculated back into the pool.

Infinity pool construction requires a significant and defined time commitment. Concrete installations are completed within three to six months, vinyl projects within four to eight weeks, and fiberglass pool installations within two to four weeks. The overall timeline depends on the design complexity and the skill level of the contractor, with challenging conditions extending the project duration.

Infinity pools require additional maintenance compared to regular pools because their unique design requires constant water level monitoring to preserve the continuous overflow effect. The catch basin must be diligently cleaned to prevent debris accumulation, and the maintenance routine varies with pool materials—concrete surfaces need extra care to prevent algae growth, while fiberglass and vinyl demand less upkeep.
