Swimming Pool Contractor reviews in San Marcos, California

The Best!

Highly recommend their services. They were timely, professional and did exceptional work on my landscaping project.

I made an appointment for a landscaping renovation project. They never showed up for the appointment. Unfortunately I am not surprised, there are many unreliable companies out there and this is one of them.

Had a very great experience with OB Pools, very straightforward and transparent on the whole process. Overall great quality workmanship, timely responses and value for both pool construction and landscaping.

This company is working on a neighbors yard and while doing so, damaged my property due to shoddy construction practices. Once confronted, the company and its slimy owner is doing everything it can to avoid fixing the damage they 100% caused. Avoid them and think twice before bringing them into your community.

Can't say enough about this company. The owner Ben is a pleasure to work with and genuinely cares about his clients. The work they do is top notch and nothing short of amazing. I would recommend them to anybody in San Diego who needs remodeling, pool, or landscape work.

They where working on my neighbors property and the results were amazing. They are very fair with amazing pricing. The neighbors yard turned out so beautiful that I had to give them a call and get mine done. 10/10 the best in the business. Give Ben a call he has you covered.

If you want broken rocks, significantly cracked concrete, split grout and faulty design and workmanship, Ocean Blue Pools & Landscaping is for you. And, if you want a contractor who says he will do repairs and revokes his promise because he likes to "test" his customers (I guess to see what it takes for them to crack - like his concrete), Ben is your guy. Save yourself the stress and disappointment (and cost) of going with a bad contractor. Look for a quality business that will stand behind their work for your pool and landscaping needs.

We had been talking about building a pool for years and finally decided to move forward last summer. We reached out to three different pool companies, including Zier Pools, to get ideas and proposals. The experiences couldn’t have been more different.

One company scheduled an appointment and never showed up. Another came out but was unprofessional, promised a proposal for a lagoon-style pool, and then completely disappeared. Then there was Zier Pools, they set the standard from the very beginning.

Tim Brown came to our home, carefully assessed our yard, and suggested a pool design that actually gave us more usable yard space than the lagoon style we initially had in mind. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to answer every question we had. When we met with him at their office, he had a detailed, professional proposal ready to go and walked us through every step of the process, including costs, timeline, payment schedule, without any pressure whatsoever.

From that point on, the experience only got better. The construction process was smooth, and every crew Zier brought in was top-notch. One thing we especially appreciated was the group text Tim set up with us, so that every phase was clearly communicated, and any questions we had were answered quickly.

We can honestly say the entire process exceeded our expectations. Our pool turned out absolutely gorgeous, and we couldn’t be happier with the result.

If you’re considering building a pool, we highly recommend Tim Brown and Zier Pools. Professional, responsive, and truly exceptional from start to finish.

Big thanks to Zier Pools for transforming our backyard into an awesome outdoor space! The pool came out beautifully. As a contractor myself, I appreciate and respect a company that takes pride in their work. Gerry is very easy to work with and his crew is stellar. Couldn’t be happier!

Zier Pools installed our gorgeous pool and patio over the winter and spring, and we are so happy to recommend them to others. We did a lot of research and narrowed our search down to three pool installation companies. We ultimately chose Zier (and Tim Brown, Zier's project manager on our project) because of the transparency, the pool design based on our answers to their questions on how we would use the pool, the delivered 3D pool animation etc, and Tim's willingness to work with us to try to stay within budget.

This was such a huge project, with many tentacles and decisions to be made along the way. Tim helped us focus on what was most important at each phase and made sure we understood all the options and impact on budget. We especially appreciated Tim's active involvement on the project, with almost weekly site visits, and one-pagers to get us ready for each major construction phase - detailing what to expect, what decisions need to be made, etc. He was also very patient with us as we made some mid-project adjustments. Along the way, he helped us envision the possibilities within our budget (of which there were many!) and also informed us of some possibilities that were just out of the budget but that he sensed we might like if we could stretch the budget slightly. In all, we stayed within budget -- going for a couple small upgrades, offset by a couple of places to cut due to our mid-project design change.

Finally, we appreciated the billing transparency. All costs at each phase were broken down in detail, including the amount of material (tile, pebble finish, turf, pavers, etc.). When we noticed a discrepancy in the amount of material installed vs one invoice, we brought this to Tim's attention and he graciously came out to re-measure, acknowledged the error and credited the savings to our next invoice. It's important to note that the discrepancy was an easy mistake to make, as it was due to our revisions on pavers and turf late in the process.

We'd be happy to talk to anyone interested about our experience with Tim and Zier Pools. This monster of a project was made so much simpler by Tim and his process, and the results are fantastic!

We had a wonderful experience working with Tim Brown. He was recommended by friends and met all of our expectations. He created a beautiful design for our backyard and truly listened to what we wanted for the space. Throughout the process, he was responsive, communicative, professional, and incredibly easy to work with.
What we appreciated most was that there was never any pressure or pushy sales tactics. He spent a lot of time helping us explore options and worked hard to make the project fit within our budget without compromising the overall vision. His honesty, patience, and attention to detail really stood out.
We are so grateful for all of the time and effort he put into our project and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to build a pool or transform their backyard.

Top notch company.

They never called back despite leaving multiple messages on phone and contacting via their web form.

Gerry is a saint and a great pool designer.

Amazing job, the pool looks perfect, the job was completed on time, they even gave us some towels and champagne when it was done! I highly recommend them!

Had a very good experience with the Zier team. The team was very prompt and responsive. They built a very nice pool and barbecue area. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommend this pool cleaning company! They are prompt, thorough, and always leave our pool sparkling clean. So grateful for their reliable service!

We are thrilled with our new pool and spa! We worked with Tim Brown. All the crew members were exceptional! The process was long, but so worth it! Thank you to everyone involved!

Best in San Diego! Tim was awesome to work with. Great communication. Listened to our design needs and the result was amazing! Thank you Zier Pools, you helped create a space that will build memories for a lifetime.

We had a great experience with Zier Pools. Matt was so helpful. The reason we needed up choosing them was because Matt was there every step of the way. There were no third parties, everything was through Zier. We were initially told 5-6 months and it was completed in about 3.
