Why Aquatic Pools?
By Arthur Garcia
Hi, I’m Arthur Garcia—a builder with decades of experience and a deep commitment to doing things the right way. You won’t find me on TV, but my work speaks for itself: clean lines, flawless finishes, and outdoor spaces that elevate how families live and relax. This isn’t just a job for me—it’s a lifelong craft. I’ve built my reputation on delivering consistent quality, personalized service, and long-term value for every client I serve. Every detail matters, and every project reflects the trust my clients place in me.
To understand what makes my approach different, you need to understand how most of the pool industry still works today. It’s a model stuck in the past—one that hasn’t evolved much since the 1950s. Here’s why that matters—and how I’ve chosen a better way forward.

Why the One-Man Show Fails in Luxury Outdoor Design
In the traditional pool industry, it's common for a single person to wear every hat. They answer the phone, set appointments, visit your property to take measurements, and sketch out an initial layout. Then they handle design discussions, calculate the estimate, sell you the job, and navigate the maze of city and HOA approvals. Sometimes, they even try to manage the build itself.
This all-in-one model dates back to the 1950s, when installing a pool meant digging a hole and filling it with water. But today’s outdoor spaces are far more complex—custom spas, fully integrated kitchens, fire features, intricate hardscapes, smart lighting, and high-end finishes. One person can’t do it all well.
It may save the company money, but for you—the homeowner—it often means settling for generic design, poor communication, and costly oversights. With Aquatic Pools, that’s not how we operate.
At Aquatic Pools, each phase of your project is handled by a dedicated expert—no multitasking, no shortcuts. Our team is structured by specialty: design, estimating, engineering, permitting, and project management are all handled by professionals who excel in their specific roles. Our designers don’t just draft plans—they shape experiences, combining technical precision with creative vision to build spaces clients are proud to live in.
Experts in Their Element—That’s the Aquatic Pools Advantage
Our consultants are more than salespeople—they’re trusted advisors who take pride in representing a brand known for excellence. They guide clients through every step of the process with clarity, insight, and an eye for detail.
Behind the scenes, our estimators and engineers are precision-driven specialists. These are the kind of people who thrive in deep focus—immersed in data, zoning in on details others might miss. We don’t blur roles. You wouldn’t ask a strategist to handle field operations, and you wouldn’t pull a project manager off a build to run spreadsheets. Every team member at Aquatic Pools works where they’re strongest, which leads to better quality, faster timelines, and smart efficiencies. It’s how we attract top talent—and still deliver luxury results at a competitive price.
Elevated Design. Real Value.
For years, Aquatic Pools earned a reputation as the go-to builder for ultra-high-end backyard environments. In the early 2000s, if your project didn’t start at a quarter-million, we simply didn’t have the capacity to take it on. We were known for pushing boundaries—introducing concepts like sunken lounges, integrated fire-and-water features, and structural innovations like steel-framed fire cages supporting overhead structures. The more ambitious the idea, the more it aligned with our brand. Our competitors knew it too—some even dismissed us as “only for the top-tier.” But that reputation was built on real vision, not inflated price tags.
Today, we bring that same creative edge and structural integrity to a broader range of projects—still luxury, still custom, but now with smart efficiencies that let more clients tap into our expertise. You don’t need outrageous budgets to get the kind of outdoor space that stops people in their tracks. You just need a team that knows how to deliver exceptional value.
Why Trust Aquatic Pools?
If you're reading this and still feeling skeptical, you're not alone. When you're making a major investment in your home-bringing a contractor into your private space, around your family-you deserve more than big promises and flashy portfolios. You want to know who you're dealing with. And that's fair.
Aquatic Pools isn't just a brand-it's the result of decades of earned trust, hard lessons and real passion for the craft. I didn't come from money, and didn't Inherit a business.
The start of Aquatic Pools taught me two things: how to work, and how to honor a promise. My first pool build came from a client who trusted my eye for design. He believed in the vision and gave me a shot. That project changed everything.
Word got out. Not because we advertised but because we delivered. Every time. Even when we underbid or lost morey, we finished the work the right way. Because for me this isn't about volume-it's about legacy. At Aquatic Pools, wo don't just install pools. We nelp homeowners shape meaningful outdoor spaces where life happens. That's our purpose, and it's one we take personally
What we build at Aquatic Pools isn’t just for show. It’s about creating a space where you can disconnect, breathe deeper, and truly relax—a backyard that feels miles away from the noise of the world. Yes, we use the word oasis in our materials, and we mean it. Every design is crafted to give you that resort-like experience right at home, surrounded by the people who matter most.
We believe great design should do more than impress—it should serve. It should create moments: kids splashing in the pool, family gathering around the fire, quiet mornings by the water. That’s what drives us. There’s no better feeling than walking into a finished backyard knowing it’s both beautiful and built right—designed with care, engineered to last
It’s never about trends or cutting corners. For us, quality is the standard. Every project is one we’re proud to put our name on, because we know it will make someone’s life better.
This isn’t just business—it’s personal. Maybe one day I’ll write the full story. But for now, we let the work speak for itself.
