If you ask the Pool builder, they might recommend someone. In my case, I was working with Hallmark pools (unfortunately) and the company that they recommended came in with an estimate which was twice what I was getting from others. So, do get lot of estimates. What helps a lot for lansdcaping quotes is to get the design done independetly and then present those drawings to various landscape contractors. I personally worked with folks at Anderson Nursery in Poway for design and for picking up all the plants/trees. --Scal

Kjsalga do you mind telling me what pool contractor you went with and are you happy with them? We are almost ready to sign the contract and I am nervous! We are planning ~16x35 feet with a raised spa(coated in quartzite), quartzite coping, baja entry (covered with quartzite), tan colored concrete decking, Raised far end with sheer descent (water feature) and raised bond beam between one side of pool and fence so I can plant behind it. I think I have decided to go with the white plaster with the quartzite on the Baja deck (I can still upgrade to pebble if I change my mind). -shotcrete pool -pentair equipment:4x60 multi speed pump, 60 quad filter, 400,000BTU heater, salt generator -2lights, 1 in pool and 1 in spa (not LED) Anything else I should consider?

Mission Pools - Stay away Our familyÂs personal experience - I called into Mission Pools back in April this year to request a repair as part of my tile on the right face of my Mission Pools spa was falling off. I explained this exact sort of thing had happened some time ago (2005) on the left half of the Spa and was repaired after my initial call as a warranty issue in 2005. Now they refuse to repair the exact same of problem under warranty on the right half of the spa and have e-mailed me an excessively high quote for repair of $5,000! This has now become a health and Safety issue as tile is unstable and a hazard to children and adults alike and a liability to our family and Mission Pools as Mr. Dunn (Owner) and their service department are aware of the situation. I have been down this road once before at the time of the construction with Mission Pools. The Spa needed to be completely rebuilt (jack hammered out and completely reformed) due to a poor workmanship, structural issues and irregular forming. I had to go to war with them then and apparently I do now. Bruce Dunn wonÂt give you the time of day until you file a complaint with the California contract licensing board  Stay away!!
