Your backyard has incredible potential – let’s unlock it together. Call Classic Home Contractors today and let’s start designing the pool you’ll love for decades to come!

Why Good Pool Design Actually Matters
Here’s something most people don’t think about: a pool isn’t just a hole filled with water. It’s the centerpiece of your entire backyard. Get the design wrong, and you’ll regret it every time you look outside.
We’ve seen pools that looked great in the salesman’s brochure but were total disasters in real life. Pools placed where they block your best view. Equipment so loud you can’t have a conversation. Decking that gets burning hot in San Diego sun. A well-designed pool should make your life better, not create new problems.
The right pool design considers everything – how you actually use your yard, where the sun hits, how your family entertains, even how it looks from inside your house. When we design your pool, we’re really designing your new lifestyle. That’s why we take the time to understand what you really want, not just sell you what’s easiest for us to build.
- Custom pool design – Every pool is designed just for your space and lifestyle
- 3D pool renderings – See exactly what your pool will look like before we build
- Landscape integration – Your pool will look like it belongs in your yard
- Equipment planning – Smart placement that keeps things quiet and efficient
- Hardscape design – Decking, walkways, and patios that complete the look

- Pool automation planning – Control everything from heating to cleaning
- Safety feature integration – Fencing, covers, and alarms that protect your family
Why Choose Classic Home Contractors as Your Pool Designer
You know what we’ve learned after years in San Diego? Too many pool companies treat design like an afterthought. They use cookie-cutter plans and hope for the best. That’s not how we do things.
Our founder Gil brought something special from his jewelry business: the understanding that every piece should be perfect for the person who’ll treasure it. Just like a custom ring, your pool should be designed specifically for you.
Here’s what makes our design process different:
- We actually listen – Your ideas matter more than our convenience
- Detailed site analysis – We study your yard like we’re going to live there
- Multiple design options – You get choices, not just one take-it-or-leave-it plan
- Clear pricing from day one – No surprises when you see the final numbers
We put all our cards on the table right from the start. You’ll know exactly what your dream pool will cost before we dig the first shovel. No “oops, we forgot to mention” moments later.
Plus, we’re local San Diego pool designers who understand our unique climate, soil conditions, and city requirements. We design pools that work perfectly in Southern California, not pools that might work anywhere.
