    We love Calimingo Pools! Calamingo offered us great service in the construction of our pool and landscaping of our front and backyard areas. When we initially spoke with them they asked us what out our overall goals was and we told them we wanted it to feel like a vacation home. For the entire construction they were prompt and extremely communicative. I even suggested them to a few friends and one of them went forward with having Calamingo do their pool construction as well! Our front and backyard look amazing and you can tell that they put a lot of thought and care into their work. It truly feels like a resort when we are home. They nailed the vacation home vibes.

    Calimingo and Mike were amazing to work with. Mike explained the process better than all the other guys. They are way more professional than all the other guys and I love my design!" I would highly recommend to anybody!

    Pool and outdoor living area

    I recently visited a property in North Tustin for a real estate mixer that Calimingo had done the design and build of the outdoor areas for. The design: stunning. Jesse, Sara, and Johnny were present, charming, and informative regarding the property. The way the pool and lounge design wrapped the hilltop view of Orange County was breathtaking and serene. The outdoor living space and fire pit were warm and inviting. There were many focal points throughout, but some of my favorites were the lighting that became more apparent as the sun was setting, and the modern design of the outdoor seating area around the fireplace that added a new feeling to the mid-century modern design of the house on the property. All in all, I would highly recommend Calimingo if you're looking for professional designs for your outdoor projects on your properties. Simply stunning!

    Calimingo not only built us an AMAZING backyard Resort but a place that we can entertain our family & friends and make memories for years to come!! Every guest that visited our backyard is blown away by the transformation!! Our designer Jeff did an phenomenal job maximizing our backyard to fit all of the features we desired, including Sunken Firepit, Infinity Spa, Water Feature, and Outdoor Kitchen. Our project manager Asia was great as well coordinating all of the various trades and was generally responsive in communications. Check out Before & After pictures

    Very professional easy to work with and last but not least got the job done in a timely fashion! Definitely recommend Calimingo as the place to start for your new pool or upgrade!

    We hired Calimingo in hopes they would design something we could never think of ourselves and they delivered! The team, Mike and Steve, were fantastic to work with and they maximized the space of our oddly shaped backyard. Their detailed cost estimate made it easy to make design vs budget decision. I highly recommend Calimingo Pools.

    This review is for pool design process. Our contact was Johnny Bash & he was excellent. I was impressed with his timeliness / responsiveness. If we had any perceived issues, Johnny helped us work them out. The design looks awesome & we are excited to move forward and enter into permitting & construction.

    Outdoor Fireplace
    Hope M.

    Absolutely ecstatic about the outcome of the project done by the Calimingo team! This time around, we asked for an extra large outdoor fireplace. This not only serves as a bit of a retaining wall, but has the option for gas or wood burning fire! The fireplace was done in a very timely manner, and the staff was extremely communicative. We have used the fireplace more times than we can count already, and we have a few more projects in the works with Johnny and the Calimingo team!

    I don't do a lot of reviewing typically, but I had to do it for these guys. Calimingo Pools has taken care of our every need from the first phone call with our sales person, Johnny, he educated us on everything even before we started with our amazing designer. Adam was very creative and so patient to guide us through the design process. Our project manager Russ was extremely professional and organized. Him and his assistant Tim kept us informed throughout the process. The workers that built everything were so nice and courteous, they cleaned up after themselves and kept their tools organized. We bought them lunch a few times and they were very appreciative. In general, I would recommend Calimingo Pools to anyone who needs an amazing pool and backyard. Thank you again to the whole team.

    Our first awareness of Jesse and Calimingo Pools came via a fortuitous stay at one of Jesse's Airbnb properties, who's main attraction was a beautiful pool and rock wall that he'd designed. At some point during the endless hours we spent luxuriating in that pool, we had an epiphany...did we have to be on vacation to enjoy a pool like this? Or was it possible to build one in our own backyard?! We were a little surprised and a lot delighted to discover that we actually could! For a comparatively reasonable price, we were able to design a backyard pool, spa and waterfall of our dreams. We were apparently not the only ones who had that idea, as Calimingo has gotten very busy; it took about a year from first inquiry to breaking ground...but once they started building, the work proceeded very quickly and very professionally, and without interruption - even through winter weather, Omicron, and supply chain shortages. Even a minor unavoidable inspection hiccup during construction that required a small re-design didn't slow them down. Frank, our project manager, was a great problem solver and communicator and kept things moving along. Chicho (sp?), who designed and built our spectacular rock wall, is an artist...the secret sauce that distinguishes Calimingo from anyone else in the area attempting to build rock landscapes. The final result exceeded our wildest expectations. It truly is our dream back yard - resort amenities available to us 24/7/52 weeks a year. It has transformed our home - and transformed our attitudes about being at home. We can't stop gushing about it; we've no doubt grown tiresome at remarking how lucky we feel to be able to experience this luxury in our own home every single day.

    This is a review for renderings. Steve designed the backyard of our dreams. Working with him was very easy and he listened to what we wanted. The design and renderings are so helpful as it gives you an idea of how the final project can look like! We have been wanting to redo our yard for years! Thanks to them we can envision what it can be!

We never thought we could get close to the pool we got in our small yard! We had a very specific vision, and they were creative, flexible, and willing to work through every detail to make it happen. They never made it feel impossible instead they came up with ways to bring out vision to life. Everyone involved in our build was an absolute dream to work with. All of our questions were handled thoughtfully and respectfully (even evenings and weekends) That level of integrity matters.

Very strange. at the end of the day, I got a pool for a lot of money, they were not our cheapest bid but I trusted Ryan to get it done the best. did he? they did pretty good but there's room for improvement In the quality of workmanship.

We have used a few other landscapers since our home was built in 1985, but Mirage has been the best by far, from design to implementation, and follow up. Joseph recommended suppliers and went with us on several occasions to select both hardscape and plantings. During construction, a newly installed water line from the street burst at about 4 am. I shut of the main valve at the street and called Joseph in a near panic as we were scheduled to take a trip to Catalina Island in a few hours. He told us to go a ahead, and it was repaired well before we returned home. Turned out the problem was due to a defective batch or pipe adhesive, as verified by another plumber. Very recently (i.e. 5.5 years later) we noticed the expansion gap filler at the low end of out driveway needed replacement. Once the recent rains subsided, Joseph had it replaced for no charge to us. People who visit our home make comments on how nice the drive-way, walk-way and plantings look, and folks just walking by often stop just to look. We give Joseph our highest possible recommendation.

Recently retired, we wanted something a little lower maintenance and friendlier on the water usage. After doing extensive research we obtained bids and interviewed four different and well reviewed landscaping companies. We chose Mirage Landscape because of the owner, Joseph Sekander, clearly had the beautiful designs from past projects and was willing to work with what we visioned for our home as well. This was a massive project for both the front and rear yards that required removing all the old colored concrete, patio cover, sprinkler system and eight large trees. Joseph met with us at nurseries, stone and tile warehouses and was always available by phone if we had questions. From demo to filling our beautiful new spa the workers and sub contractors were timely and professional throughout. My wife and I were very pleased with how friendly and respectful all of the workers were during the various phases of the project. I can highly recommend Mirage Landscape. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you did not include them in your bidding process.
