At DLS Pools Inc., we believe every backyard holds the potential to become a peaceful oasis—a place where you relax, entertain, and make memories. With more than 19 years of experience in custom pool construction and remodeling, we serve Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties with craftsmanship, care, and attention to detail.
What Makes a Great Pool Project
Here are a few key ingredients we prioritize when bringing dream pool ideas to life:
-
Thoughtful Design from Day One
Before the first shovel breaks ground, we provide free 3D designs so you can see what your pool, spa, tile work, and hardscape will look like in your space. This helps align expectations and gives you a chance to make changes before construction begins. -
Quality Materials and Finishes
From tile and coping to replastering and hardscape, every material we use is chosen for durability, aesthetics, and longevity. Because a pool isn’t just about how it looks today—it’s about how it performs over time. -
Integrated Hardscaping & Spa Elements
To truly maximize your outdoor space, the area around the pool—paths, patios, decks, retaining walls, landscaping—should complement the pool itself. We offer spa installations, hardscaping, and remodeling services to ensure everything works together. -
Remodel & Restoration Expertise
Perhaps your pool is aging, or you want to update its look. We handle pool replastering, tile replacement, coping updates, and full pool remodeling. We give old pools new life—without sacrificing structural integrity or safety.

Design Tips & Trends to Elevate Your Pool Project
-
Wet Decks & Baja Shelves: Shallow lounging areas are having a moment. Perfect for kids, sunbathing, or just placing a few chairs in the water.
-
Accent Tiles & Coping: Tiles with mosaics, glass inlays, or unique edge materials make a statement and tie in your home’s architecture.
-
LED & Smart Lighting: Lighting is more than safety—it sets mood. Colored LED lights, underwater lighting, spotlights on water features—these add wow-factor at night.
-
Natural Integration: Combining stone, wood, or landscape to make the pool feel part of the environment instead of standing out as an add-on.
-
Eco-Friendly Options: Energy-efficient filtration systems, solar heating, or variable speed pumps are investments that save money while being good for the planet.
Real Transformations: Before & After
Here are some examples of how we’ve helped clients in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties:
-
A 20-year-old pool got a full face lift—new plaster, tile, coping, and a spa added. The result? A backyard that feels like a resort.
-
Compact yard? No problem. We designed a small footprint spa + adjacent hardscape seating area that made the space feel larger and more inviting.
-
Homes with elevation changes? We built retaining walls, stairs, and creative hardscaping to maximize usable space and ensure safety and style.
