The California Pools and Landscape Culture

At California Pools & Landscape, we believe that culture matters. Our business was built on the conviction that we are building more than backyard living spaces for our customers. We are creating spaces where they can grow their families and make memories for years to come.

At the heart of our company’s ethos is a simple desire to be of service. Commitment to this vision informs each interaction with our clients here at California Pools & Landscape. If you buy a pool or not, we know your interaction with us will a positive one.

“We set out, 36 years ago, to just be of the absolute best service to everyone we met. It didn’t ultimately matter if you bought a pool from us. We were just happy to that you called and let us be helpful to you. We’ve kept true to that vision. We are a service culture at California Pools & Landscape. It would be a boring day at work to just come and collect a paycheck. We are here for a nobler vision—how we can be of the greatest service to our clients and our teammates.”
–Mike Smith, Founder

“My favorite part about being an owner is working with the employees. It is so important to me that they have a place where they can come to work and feel like they are making a difference. We know we build projects, we know we build pools and we change people’s backyards, but we want to make the process for the homeowner really fun and we want to give them a place to hang out with their friends and family and to make memories with people who are important to them. And we want our employees to feel part of that and it is really important to us that they see the bigger picture.”
– Joan Smith, Co-Founder

We love watching them develop personal relationships with clients that often endure long beyond the building process. We empower them with the resources they need to go the distance to serve our customers at every turn.

“I get to have an opportunity to have such a tremendous impact on every client’s life not only during the process of design and getting to know them through the construction process, but also long after the fact.”
– Nicole Shoppach, Senior Manager
