Landscape & hardscape

Stone, planting, and walls that finish the picture.

Hardscape is what you walk on and lean against; landscaping is what makes it feel finished. We design both around your pool, your climate, and how much upkeep you actually want.

How it works

Four steps from first call to finished.

  1. Patio cover with stone columns over a pool and spa
    01

    Walk the yard

    Miguel comes out, looks at the space, and listens: how you want to use it, what you’ve seen that you like, and the budget you have in mind. The estimate is free.

  2. POOL WIDTH SHELF SPA SHEER DESCENTS STEPS SKETCH · NOT TO SCALE
    02

    Design it

    We turn that into a layout — pool shape, spa, features, decking, and everything around it — and adjust it with you until it’s right.

  3. DPC crew hand-setting flagstone on the new pool steps
    03

    Build it

    Our crew builds it — shell, stone, tile, decking, and the details — and you’ll always know who’s in your yard and what happens next.

  4. Finished remodel with deck jets arcing over a beach-entry shelf

    First swim

    Water in, equipment running, and a walkthrough of how everything works before we call it done.

Questions

Landscape: common questions.

Can you design the whole backyard, not just the pool?

Yes. Besides pools and spas we build outdoor kitchens, patio covers and pergolas, fire features, hardscape, retaining walls, landscaping, and fencing — so the whole yard can be planned and built as one project.

What areas do you serve?

We’re based in Menifee and build across Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange counties, North County San Diego from Poway up to Fallbrook, and the San Gabriel Valley. That includes Murrieta, Temecula, Lake Elsinore, Corona, Eastvale, Chino, Rancho Cucamonga, Yorba Linda, Irvine, Escondido, Vista, and Diamond Bar. Not on the list? Call; we’re happy to take a look.

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. We come out, walk the yard with you, talk through what you want and roughly what you want to spend, and follow up with an estimate. There’s no charge and no obligation.

What kinds of pools do you build?

Classic family pools, lap pools, freeform pools, and vanishing-edge pools, with spas, spillways, rock waterfalls, slides, deck jets, and custom lighting. If you have a photo of something you like, bring it to the estimate.

Let’s walk your yard.

Tell us what you’re picturing. Miguel will come out, look at the space, and put together a free estimate.
