POOL BUILDERS, POOL DESIGN & COORDINATION IN SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY
THREE POOL BUILDERS WE TRUST FOR THE POOL, OUR TEAM FOR EVERYTHING AROUND IT
Planning a pool anywhere in San Luis Obispo County? We design the whole backyard, connect you with three licensed pool builders we’ve completed whole-yard projects with (you contract with the pool builder directly, separate from our contract), coordinate the schedule, and build everything around the pool: decking, hardscape, patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, landscape, irrigation and lighting. Call 805-712-4440 to start with a site visit.
Where we work: Paso Robles, Templeton, Atascadero, San Luis Obispo, Los Osos, Arroyo Grande, Nipomo, and the rest of our San Luis Obispo County service area.

HOW IT WORKS
ONE PLAN FOR THE POOL AND THE YARD
We start at your property and talk through the pool and the yard around it. Then we introduce you to the three licensed pool builders we work with, each one a builder we’ve completed whole-yard projects with. You contract directly with the one you choose, and that pool builder designs and builds the pool itself, including the shell, plumbing and equipment. We do the master design for the whole space and coordinate the schedule. We plan the rest of the yard so everything fits: grades and drainage, access for excavation and equipment, the deck layout, and where shade, lighting and planting go. Once the pool is in, our crew builds the deck, hardscape and landscape.
Planning both at once avoids the common problems: a deck that drains toward the house, an equipment pad in the wrong spot, or new landscaping torn up to make room for pool work.
AROUND THE POOL
POOL DECKS, CONCRETE AND POOLSIDE LANDSCAPING
Here is what our own crew builds around a new or existing pool:
- Pool decks in broom-finish or stamped concrete and pavers
- Patios, outdoor kitchens and fire features next to the water
- Retaining walls and steps where a sloped lot needs level ground
- Patio covers and pergolas for shade
- Landscape lighting, drip irrigation and low-water planting kept back from the water so leaves and soil stay out of the pool
- Artificial turf and lounge areas

Our Water Feature Design Process
Initial Meeting
At our initial meeting, we will walk through your yard together and ask questions, take photos and then sit down together for about 30 minutes. We then ask you to talk to us about any or all of your ideas, drawings or photos that have inspired you to take action.
Preliminary Design
This is one of our favorite steps of our collaborative process when we show you our preliminary design. If there are any revisions, they will be done at this time. Next, we will set up the time frame to begin your project. The drawings will be used throughout the entire design and installation, until completion of your landscape vision.
Construction & Completion
With your approved design in hand and our highly skilled team, your project is begun. Our goal during this final step is to complete your project on time and on budget. We are professional landscapers and we stand behind our work. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we are here for you every step of the way.

“I worked with Chris on a relatively large landscaping project in early 2023. He was helpful in refining the design, timely and responsive, flexible in materials, and something you don’t see very often – on budget. The work was high quality. The suggestions were all great improvements. And the price was more than fair. I’d gladly reach out to Chris for landscaping and consider Harrod Construction for any home improvement project.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Pool Project FAQs
Does Paso Robles Landscaping build pools?
No. We refer three licensed pool builders we’ve completed whole-yard projects with, and the pool is built under a separate contract between you and the pool builder you choose. We do the master design for the whole space, coordinate the schedule with them, and our crew builds the decking, hardscape, patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, landscape, irrigation and lighting around the pool.
What do you build around a pool?
Pool decks in concrete or pavers, patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, retaining walls and steps, patio covers and pergolas, landscape lighting, drip irrigation, planting and artificial turf.
Why plan the pool and the landscaping together?
Grades, drainage, equipment access and utility runs all affect both. Planning them together keeps the deck draining away from the house, puts the equipment pad in a sensible spot, and avoids tearing out new landscaping later.
Can you redo the deck and landscaping around an existing pool?
Yes. We can replace the deck, patio and landscaping around an existing pool. Work on the pool itself, such as resurfacing or equipment, goes to a licensed pool contractor.
What affects the cost of a pool project?
The pool builder prices the pool under their own contract with you. For the area around it, cost depends on deck size and material, grading and any retaining walls, access, drainage, shade structures, lighting and planting. We give a written estimate for our part after a site visit.
Which areas do you serve?
Paso Robles and all of San Luis Obispo County, including Templeton, Atascadero, San Luis Obispo, Los Osos, Arroyo Grande and Nipomo.
