An Estrella Mountain Backyard Made for Entertaining

This Estrella Mountain backyard was designed as a true extension of the home, with a custom pool, spa, raised fire feature, water features, turf, and space for entertaining family and friends.

The finished design brought the backyard together with stacked stone, three scupper water features, a retaining wall, an elevated fire pit, a raised seating area, and artificial turf. When elevation changes created challenges, the design was adjusted to improve flow, add dimension, and create a more dynamic outdoor living space.

Project Highlights

  • Custom pool
  • Spa
  • Retaining wall
  • Stacked stone
  • Three scupper water features
  • Raised fire pit
  • Elevated seating area
  • Artificial turf
  • Outdoor gathering space

California Pools built our spa/pool combo and we are thrilled with the outcome. Each team member involved along the way always gave our project the right level of attention, follow-up and expertise to our project . Of particular note we would recognize Mike Lillis in design sales, Darrin Castillo our project superintendent and Marisa Puzz our project manager. Each were great. Additionally we have been very impressed with the quality level of all the components as well as the construction process itself. Five Stars ! Mike

Steve finished off my pool with professionalism and kindness knowing there were issues that were outside of his control. The project started off rocky, but ended with grace. I could not be happier with the final product. Cal pools made me right after facing some tribulations. Projects always have their ups and downs and leadership took my feedback and worked hard to rectify the relationship. The pool meets every expectation, thank you Steve!

California Pools provided an outstanding experience in the transformation of our backyard. They were very competitively priced and did not try to upsell us on unreasonable features, in fact helping us understand that some of the operating features that we had in mind were unnecessary. We signed in Oct 2021, expecting a lengthy process, knowing most pools around this time were taking 12 months or more. The pool and landscape was completed 7 months later. There were a couple of delays along the way, but the level of communication was so high that we were prepared for any curve in the road. And since completion, they have reached out numerous times to ensure all is well. Outstanding product! Outstanding service! - Bill B

My experience with California pools couldn't have gone more smoothly from start to finish! My backyard is an oasis. They help develop the whole yard. One stop shopping. I had planned to shop around but once I met with Dave it all came together so I signed. Rebecca organizes ever detail and follows up on everything! When she says someone will be here to work they are here. Roy and Eric walked me through how to take care of my new pool and yard. Even the gals in the show room went above and beyond helping pull stone, tile, decking and gravel to get the perfect yard!

We have been completely happy & satisfied with our pool since it was constructed by California Pools at our home in Sun Lakes, AZ back in the summer of 2013. Anytime we are in need of any type of service or even to have any questions or concerns addressed, the friendly, knowledgeable & personal staff at California Pools is always at the ready to help us out & to maintain an excellent company/customer level of satisfaction. Jeremy Smith has a lot to be proud of with his company & we recommend their products & service to anyone in the need of purchasing and/or maintaining their pool in top-notch condition at all times. We recently needed a pool light replaced & they did their absolute best to make certain that when all was said & done we were happy & satisfied customers. The staff (Bianca & Chelle) did their very best right from our first phone call to ensure that our needs were met in both a friendly & professional manner. The repair work was performed by trained professionals who were both punctual & precise in their work. We tip our hats to Bianca (& Chelle) for taking the initiative right from the start right through to completion of the job to make certain that we were 100% satisfied with all aspects of their work......and, of course, we were all of that & then some! It's truly a pleasure to find a company & employees who strive their utmost to provide continuous help & support with their products & personnel long after the sale is complete. Congratulations to Jeremy & his staff & we wish you nothing but continued success in the years & pools/spas to come! Best regards, Steve & Nancy M. Sun Lakes, AZ :-)

TOP (Baja) SHELF Pool company! I obtained three quotes before deciding to move forward with California Pools to build my dream pool, and I have absolutely no regrets. One of the many important aspects of trusting a pool company with my yard and money was the requirement of excellent communication. When obtaining quotes, the other pool companies did not follow up with me or did so far too late after on sight visits and lots of my time invested; however, from the very beginning of the initial pool design and layout (Thank you to the late, Scott Greenbank) every aspect of getting the pool built I was informed each and every step of the way, whether is was the scheduling of various stages, or even delays. The CPL app was an excellent resource to keep me up to date on everything and when I needed extra details or information, Alex Barone-Jay was always there with and answer for me in a timely manner. In fact, each person associated with my pool build was an expert in their craft and it was fun and fascinating to watch it come to life over several months. I struck gold with having Adam Redding as my Pool Supervisor/Superintendent. Adam is knowledgeable and personable and ensured to follow up on all the stages of the build and for those reasons I never worried about anything! The end result was exactly what I wanted and dreamed of for the pool. It was a pleasure and I'm so grateful to California Pools for not only this pool, but for the continued support and follow up when I had questions or needed anything.

California Pools built a beautiful swimming pool for us! They had to fight through supply chain issues, material shortages and scarcity of sub-contractors but our project Superintendent, Scott Schmid, worked hard every day on our behalf! He kept us up to date on back ordered material and scheduling and if we had an issue he was right here in an instant with a solution! Thanks, Scott for your professionalism and for your calm, reassuring demeanor! We are eagerly awaiting summer!

We love our pool. Steve ,our construction manager, is a stickler for detail. Making sure everything is done right. Answering our concerns. And making sure everything was done to our liking. It was a pleasure working with both Steve and Jessica. I think the scheduling could be a little tighter but we would recommend California Pools to anyone looking to build their dream pool.

Robby did the design layout for our pool and the finished product looks like we expected. Sean Beavers was the project manager and we were impressed with how well the job was handled. It is a very tight backyard and they did a great job keeping things in order, as orderly as you can with piles of dirt, trench and piping. Leann kept us informed on the timing. As with most projects, there are some issues that come up. All issues were addressed in a timely manner and absolutely no issues at this time. CA Pools was not the lowest price for the proposals that we received but we chose them due to the reputation and most times you get what you pay for. We would definitely recommend CA Pools.

We have had the pleasure of working with Doug, Jordan and Sarah on building our pool and landscaping our yard. The communication from the very start was phenomenal. We did have a couple hiccups, but with those hiccups Jordan and Sarah went above and beyond to get over those hiccups and delivered way more than we expected. They were a GREAT team to work with. Our dogs all approved of Jordan, as he made sure they were able to swim as soon as possible. We looked at a couple pool places and no one made us feel as confident or comfortable as California Pools. They valued our time and listened to what we wanted and addressed any concerns we may have had. Thank you Doug, Sarah, and Jordan. We appreciate you all!

From the very beginning Our experience with California Pools has been top notch. We were blown away with the exceptional design skills Cody was able to bring to life on a zoom meeting on our very first meeting. Cody was able to take every little detail and made it a reality before our eyes. I had so many compliments on how unique our pool was designed when it was still dirt and rebar. Jordan came out for the first time and answered all our questions with a realistic timeline. He always answered or returned our calls with a solution. Made sure every step of the way was paved and did what he said he would do without fail. If he didn't know the answer he found one, we were never left wondering. He kept tabs on all the projects and crews on site to keep us moving forward very quickly with a smile on his face! He was very personable. Then there was Sara! She handled all the scheduling of the project. Some days we would have 3 or more crews here and she kept them coming rapid fire it was outstanding the way it came together in such a short amount of time. Always going the extra mile to get what we needed done and at lightning speed!! Her calm friendly "Sunshine" attitude was a warm genuine experience. She always responded in the app right away with an answer or a solution. So far we couldn't be happier with our experience. I have waited my whole adult life and California Pools made my dream a reality in my back yard!!! Thank you

We hired California Pools to replace an old pool and they have totally transformed our backyard! Beginning with the estimate and design process, their staff have carefully listened to what we were hoping for and translated that into a plan we could afford. Thank you to Brian Rau, project manager, for his patience and design talent. Robert Lory is our construction manager and he has done a fantastic job of supervising the complex details of executing the design. He has been great at communicating with us every step of the way, and he frequently stops by the site to see for himself how things are going, make sure the work is done to quality standards and to get our feedback. Finally, the administrative processes and communication have been handled by Rebecca Schulte, who has been responsive, thorough and patient. We wholeheartedly recommend California Pools!

Cal Pool completed our pool almost 3 years ago and it is absolutely beautiful! They were able to complete our pool within a reasonable timeframe because it was before the pandemic. Their customer service is outstanding to say the least. We were provided a schedule and if there were any delays we were notified immediately. The only change we had to make in order to stay on schedule was to pick a different pool tile. If we had stayed with our original choice, there would have been a slight delay. Ted Jimenez and the rest of the team contribute to the outstanding reputation that Cal Pool has and continues to have. We highly recommend giving Cal Pools the opportunity to build and design your pool, You won't be disappointed. Monte & Janie Liebe

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with California Pools. We went from an all-dirt yard to having a pool, beautiful decking, water feature, plants, and grass! The whole project took about 7 weeks, and we were quoted that the time frame would be 6-8. Everything went smoothly and Cindy was an absolute pleasure to work with for scheduling. She responded to all questions very promptly and in detail. DJ was our initial contact and Chuck was our superintendent. Everything was much easier than expected given that we both work full-time and were rarely at home when any work was going on. Our ONLY complaint was that we paid for a temporary "fence" for our dogs to basically have a dog run while the work was going on and while we were not home. This "fence" was a roll of orange plastic that would be used to keep people from accessing a construction site... in other words, not meant to keep two 60ish pound dogs confined. We ended up rigging up our own fairly sturdy fence, so it was not a huge deal in the end. Overall we could not be happier and we are loving our new yard!

We have seen a big turnaround on our project since Darrin Castillo has taken over as site superintendent. Fredi Martinez has been instrumental in getting the FX color landscape lights that makes our property really pop in the neighborhood. We highly recommend Darrin and Fredi from California Pools for any pool and landscaping project.

We are very happy with our pool and the overall experience with California Pools. We looked at several other pool companies and we are really happy that we ended up going with California Pools. We started our project in April of 2021 with Les. He listened to what we wanted and really worked to create a design that fit our requirements for both the pool and the landscaping. Once we signed, things moved along. We did experience a delay when they hit hard dig about 6" down... we expected this knowing the area we're in. But after a change order for the cost of a hard dig, things progressed again. Nothing else major came up during the rest of the project and our Construction Manager, Dustin, was absolutely great to work with. He is a rockstar. He and Sara were responsive to any questions or concerns we had and worked to address them. Crews were respectful, not leaving trash behind, and friendly when we would come out to see or ask questions. This project did take a while and we did challenge Dustin as we got to May 2022 to have us in the water by Memorial Day. Dustin delivered, just in time! The landscaping really impressed us as well. The quality of the plants and trees was great, and their team has been great to work with. I've seen some of the negative reviews and want to add that a construction project like this isn't going to be turnkey. You have to be engaged. Go out and look at what's being done in your yard - ask questions, help the Construction Manager help you. They're not there every day, but you are. Understand that your yard is construction zone until complete - people will come and go. Schedules aren't always exact. Your construction manager is your best friend during this process. Be kind, be patient. If you team up with them, you'll have a great experience and end up with a great backyard.

These folks built my pool over 5 years ago, and when we had a problem they stepped up and took very good care of me. Friendly, professional, personable. 10/10, would use again and would recommend them to anyone.

California Pools rocks! Seriously, the customer service is second to none. This is our second time purchasing a pool through them (we moved) and they make the process very easy; the end result is fantastic, and their warranty department is very responsive. Darren T. and Dave G. have been particularly great to work with this time around, as was Josh last time around. I guess that's why when you are shopping pool companies, California gets the highest ratings. Those ratings are legit. We can attest to it from personal experience.--John & Barbara

In an industry that's rife with companies that lack integrity, reliability, and the resources to deliver on time (or at all in some cases), California Pools and Landscaping is the gold standard for making things happen. My hat's off to their designer Cory Blackwell, superintendent Kevin Everhart, and Construction Coordinator Leann Madar in taking our vision of a backyard oasis and making it a reality that exceeded our expectations. From 2D drawings to 3D model to demolition to underground rough-in to the finished product, it was quite the accelerated journey to witness a concept materialize. There were a couple of code challenges that popped up, but CPL was able to intercept and correct the issues to stay on schedule and avoid any red tags by Developmental Services. I've been in construction for 40 years and counting, and I have yet to see a project go without a snag, but in my opinion, working with CPL is the best choice in ensuring the job is done as seamlessly as possible. Great management team that raised the bar for customer service--they were extremely professional and responsive. When they schedule work to get done, it gets done...and we're talking high speed, low drag, folks. The workmanship from the travertine pavers to the pebble finish of the pool was flawless and beautiful, and the scope of work was completed impressively fast. As I first mentioned, there are a lot of companies out there trying to sell their ability to do the work you want, but do your research, do a deep dive on reviews, and check the BBB if there are any complaints filed against them. There are too many flakes and hacks in the valley that claim to be pool contractors, so do yourself and your dream project a favor and do your homework. In my humble opinion, California Pools and Landscaping stands head-and-shoulders above the rabble. They're not cheap, but A++ results speaks for itself. My name is Ajax, and I endorse this review.

We used California pools to do landscaping and install an inground pool in our backyard. We looked at multiple companies, and landed on CA pools because of their process, design software, flexibility and warranty options. David Crosket helped us specifically design our pool within budget, establish financing, manage our project and kept us in the loop every step of the way. We’ve built multiple pool projects in the past, and this was without a doubt the most stress free, streamlined process ever. Due to labor and material shortages in the economy the pool was delayed, however, the team did a fantastic job communicating milestones as the project moved forward. I could not be happier with David Crosket, Sara and the rest of the team at CA Pools and have already recommended them to all my friends and family. They may not be the cheapest, BUT they will take excellent care of you and leave you stress free!

This review is for Michael McCormick, warranty superintendent. We had a major issue with our pool and he helped us find the potential problem. He's very professional and was on time. He actually came out a second time without a service call to check the UV light. Great customer service.

Amazing!!!!! I cannot say enough good things about this company and our experience. Joel did an amazing job designing our pool and landscape. Sean went above and beyond to get our project moving quickly and impeccably. We had a small leak and Sean was out there sweating and digging it up right away to find the issue. They also found a crack in the concrete that we never saw and scheduled right away for the whole thing to be replaced. Rebecca was also incredible emailing and keeping us up to date with everything! Always very prompt to answer any questions we had. I would highly highly recommend them and definitely request Sean!!!

Frequently Asked Questions About Buckeye Pool Builders


Q: How much does a custom pool cost in Buckeye?

A custom shotcrete pool in Buckeye can start around $55,000 for a more standard pool design. A pool and spa combination commonly ranges from about $75,000 to $125,000, while larger backyard projects with premium pavers, landscaping, shade structures, fire features, outdoor kitchens, or more complex design details can move into the $200,000+ range. Your final price depends on access into the yard, grading, utilities, soil conditions, decking, materials, water features, spa design, jurisdiction requirements, and the full outdoor living scope. You can also review our pool pricing guide for more planning details.

Q: How long does it take to build a pool in Buckeye?

Most pool builds take about 8 to 12 weeks from excavation to final water fill. Larger or more detailed designs with a spa, custom decking, outdoor kitchen, shade structure, fire features, water features, or more complex site conditions can take 12 to 16 weeks or longer. Before excavation begins, homeowners should also plan for the design phase, pricing, financing, engineering, permits, HOA review when required, construction drawings, layout, and scheduling. Our pool construction process explains what to expect from design through startup.

Q: Do Buckeye pool projects require permits?

Yes. Pool projects in Buckeye typically require permits, plan review, and inspections before construction can move forward. The City of Buckeye requires permits for projects including pools, spas, fencing, patios, and related construction. Once your design is approved, our team helps coordinate construction drawings, engineering, permit documents, and required inspections so the project is planned before construction begins.

Q: Do Buckeye communities like Verrado, Tartesso, and Festival Ranch require HOA approval?

Many Buckeye communities have HOA or architectural review requirements for exterior changes, including pool placement, equipment visibility, walls, drainage, materials, landscaping, colors, and overall backyard design. Communities such as Verrado, Tartesso, Festival Ranch, Sun City Festival, Sundance, and Westpark may each have their own submittal process. Our team prepares the plans, layout, materials, and project details needed for review, while homeowners typically submit the package to their HOA when approval is required.

Q: Does caliche or hard desert soil affect pool construction in Buckeye?

It can. Buckeye properties may have hard desert soil, caliche, grading conditions, or elevation changes that affect excavation, drainage, access, and construction planning. These conditions do not prevent a pool from being built, but they can influence equipment needs, timeline, engineering, and cost. During the design and planning process, the team reviews your property so the pool, decking, drainage, and outdoor living layout are designed around the site.

Q: What pool safety or barrier requirements should Buckeye homeowners know?

Buckeye pool projects must account for applicable pool safety, barrier, gate, and inspection requirements before the pool can be completed and filled. These requirements can affect walls, fencing, gates, latches, doors, windows, setbacks, and access points. Safety and barrier details should be planned early so they are included before the final stages of construction.

Q: What pool styles work well for Buckeye backyards?

Buckeye backyards often work well with both geometric and freeform pool designs, depending on the home, lot size, architecture, and how the space will be used. Larger West Valley lots can allow for baja shelves, raised spas, extended decking, fire features, outdoor kitchens, turf, and separate seating areas. In communities with mountain views or larger backyards, the pool layout can also be designed to frame the view and create a more resort-style outdoor space.

Q: What features are popular for Buckeye backyards?

Popular Buckeye backyard features include baja shelves, raised spas, fire pits, fire bowls, scupper water features, water feature walls, travertine or porcelain pavers, artificial turf, outdoor kitchens, shade structures, LED lighting, and smart automation. Many West Valley homeowners want a backyard that handles Arizona heat well while still feeling comfortable for family use, evening relaxation, and weekend entertaining. Common upgrades include custom spas, water features, fire features, and outdoor kitchens.

Q: What Buckeye neighborhoods and communities do you serve?

We serve homeowners throughout Buckeye and the surrounding West Valley, including Verrado, Victory at Verrado, Trillium at Verrado, Tartesso, Festival Ranch, Sun City Festival, Sundance, Westpark, Sienna Hills, Roosevelt Park, Watson Estates, Riata West, Blue Horizons, Estrella, and nearby communities.

Q: Do you offer pool financing?

Yes. California Pools & Landscape offers pool financing support to help homeowners plan for a new pool, remodel, or complete backyard project. Financing can help you prioritize the features that matter most, whether you are starting with a custom pool or planning a larger outdoor living space with a spa, shade structure, landscaping, fire feature, or outdoor kitchen. You can review available pool financing options before starting your design consultation.
