Custom pools and outdoor living construction in Orinda.
Family-owned since 1985, Pacheco Landscape & Pool Construction builds custom pools, pool remodels, outdoor living spaces, hardscape, drainage, pool houses, ADUs, and complete backyard projects for Orinda homeowners.
Built for Orinda homes, hillsides, and outdoor living.
Orinda properties often require careful planning. Many homes include hillside conditions, mature trees, natural surroundings, limited access, retaining walls, drainage concerns, grade changes, and outdoor spaces that need to feel connected to the home and landscape.
Whether the project is a new custom pool, a pool remodel, a refined patio, drainage improvement, or a complete backyard transformation, the construction details need to be planned before the work begins.

We are not trying to be the cheapest pool builder in Orinda. We are focused on quality construction, clear communication, detailed proposals, and work that reflects the reputation behind the Pacheco name.
Built with pride. Backed by the Pacheco name.
