Custom Pools Built Right From the Ground Up.
Family-owned since 1985, Pacheco Landscape & Pool Construction builds custom gunite swimming pools, spas, and complete outdoor living projects throughout Contra Costa County and the East Bay.
A Custom Pool Is a Major Investment. The Contractor Matters.
A swimming pool is not just a hole in the ground with water in it. It is a structural construction project involving excavation, plumbing, steel, gunite, equipment, drainage, electrical, masonry, finishes, and long-term maintenance.
Our Name Is on Every Project
Pacheco is more than the name of our company — it is our family name. Every pool we build reflects on that name, and that is a responsibility we take seriously.
We are not trying to be the biggest pool company in the Bay Area. We are intentionally built around quality, communication, and projects we are proud to stand behind.
We Are Not the Cheapest — And That Is Okay.
There will always be someone willing to build your pool for less. Our goal has never been to compete on price.
Our goal is to build high-quality pools using proven construction practices, quality materials, careful coordination, and honest communication from start to finish.
If you value quality over the lowest bid, we would appreciate the opportunity to earn your trust.
Custom Pools, Spas, and Complete Backyard Environments.
We build custom pools as part of a larger outdoor construction vision. Whether your project is a new pool, pool and spa combination, or a complete backyard transformation, the goal is to create a space that looks beautiful and performs for years.
Custom Gunite Pools
Gunite pool construction allows flexibility in shape, depth, benches, steps, baja shelves, spas, water features, and overall layout.
Spas & Water Features
Raised spas, integrated spas, spillways, sheer descents, bubblers, deck jets, and other features can be built into the pool environment.
Outdoor Living Integration
Pools work best when connected with patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, lighting, landscaping, and the way your family uses the yard.
Built Correctly Where It Counts.
The most important parts of a pool are often the parts homeowners do not see after the project is finished: excavation, steel, plumbing, bonding, drainage, equipment layout, structural preparation, and construction sequencing.
Those details matter. They affect performance, durability, safety, maintenance, and the long-term value of your investment.
Our reputation is built one backyard at a time, and that starts with doing the work correctly from the beginning.
Built Around Your Property, Your Lifestyle, and Your Long-Term Use.
Every pool should be built around how the backyard will actually be used. Some families want a clean modern pool. Others want a resort-style space with a spa, outdoor kitchen, fire feature, and entertaining areas.

Clear Steps. Better Communication. Fewer Surprises.
Custom pool construction has a lot of moving parts. A clear process helps homeowners understand what is happening, what comes next, and what to expect during each phase of construction.
Consultation
We discuss your goals, location, budget expectations, site conditions, access, timeline, and whether you already have plans.
Plans & Proposal
We work from completed plans or coordinate with your designer, architect, or engineer when needed, then prepare a detailed proposal.
Permits
We help coordinate required permits, plan review items, engineering requirements, and pre-construction details.
Layout & Excavation
The pool is laid out, access is prepared, and excavation begins according to the approved plans and site conditions.
Plumbing, Steel & Gunite
Plumbing, steel reinforcement, bonding, inspections, and gunite are completed as part of the structural pool shell process.
Finishes & Startup
Tile, coping, hardscape, equipment, plaster or pebble finish, filling, startup, and final details bring the project together.
Custom Pool Construction in Contra Costa County and the East Bay.
We proudly build custom pools throughout Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Danville, Concord, Clayton, Blackhawk, Brentwood, Alamo, San Ramon, Martinez, and surrounding East Bay communities.
Built for Local Conditions
Contra Costa County properties often involve expansive clay soils, hillside lots, drainage concerns, grade changes, tight access, retaining walls, and city-specific permitting requirements.
Local knowledge helps us plan better, communicate more clearly, and build outdoor projects designed for long-term performance.
One Contractor. One Team. One Standard.
Many pool projects involve much more than the pool itself. Hardscape, drainage, retaining walls, landscaping, equipment pads, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and pool houses all need to work together.
Having one experienced contractor coordinate the entire outdoor project creates better communication and a cleaner finished result.
Quality Over Volume. Reputation Over Shortcuts.
Homeowners choose Pacheco Landscape & Pool Construction because they want their project built correctly, communicated clearly, and managed by a contractor who takes personal pride in the finished result.

We are intentionally built to stay personally involved, focused on quality, and accountable to the homeowners who trust us.
Detailed Proposals
We believe homeowners deserve clear, transparent proposals so they understand what is included before construction begins.
