    Missing grout in spa
    Cherise B.

    Pool and Spa Swindlers Pacific Sun Pool N' Spa (PS) is what happens when nepotism, deceit and incompetence collide. This is a poor example of a family-owned business. We had a $200K budget that included Pool, Spa and Landscaping for our front and back yard and ended up not getting everything we originally contracted. For the past 10 months we have endured lies, severe delays, contract breaches and manipulation, nasty arguments with the lead PM, price gouging, long periods of time with no communication or updates, damage to our property and community common areas. Sales team lied to us from the very beginning. We were provided with a beautiful digital plan that the construction team was unable to deliver. The yard measurements were inaccurate and not to scale which caused us a great deal of issues with our HOA submission and approval. Pass off from one internal team to the next was never explained. We were made to feel like fools for believing the sales team by the head PM on several occasions. Several times he stated that customers do not know what they bought, but he failed to understand that what we were sold was not what was able to be delivered. Sales intentionally does not get into the details in the contract so that the PM can substitute in low quality products and pass them off as being above industry standard, when they are not. They do not provide any means for us to maintain any of the items installed. We never once interacted with the owner. It's a one-shot deal. They verbally offer a 3 year warranty on the pool equipment but it is not listed in the contract. So you are on your own after everything they installed falls apart. We were told there is no warrantee on any plants they planted in our yard. They planted half dead plants that cost $60 ea. There is no loyalty among thieves. Every single Manager that stood in our yard had something negative to say about one another or the owner. The only thing they were on time to do was collecting checks like an organized crime shakedown. They did just enough to trigger a "progression payment", mentioning the contract as enforcement, without finishing tasks from previous phases. Landscaping was performed by inexperienced crew members that showed up to the worksite late, drunk or high. They literally dumped pea gravel on top of newly planted plants, left hand prints on the front and side of our house, paint and concrete were damaged, TRASH was tossed into our pool and floated in it for months because the subcontractors do not care. Landscaping crew, failed to extend the water filtration to all of the plants in our yard. The tree that is the centerpiece of our front yard is not planted deep enough, and the elevation is not level. We got our own plants and PS wanted to charge us more than the cost of the plants to put them in the ground. During the change request process we were charged three to four times the cost of the materials plus labor, but was never credited for labor when they had to issue us a credit. In our contract we were told that QA would be performed, it was not. We had to greet subcontractors, and new crews to explain what needed to be done. We should have charged for the ridiculous amount of time we had to spend supervising their crews and subcontractors. They treat their employees terribly. People just let themselves into our backyard unannounced. We would wake up and there would be strangers in our yard and we had no notice or warning that they were coming. During our project several PS employees quit or voiced their extreme displeasure with the company as a whole. We, as the customer, should not know about how little PS pays their employees. We requested that the owners son never step foot on our property, he is so incredibly rude and unprofessional. He announced he was coming over after we told him not to, and we had to tell him a second time that he was not welcomed. His audacity is unacceptable. Working in this industry is not his calling, he is not good at being a Pool expert and should just tell his dad that he needs to go do something else. The crew that reports to him has no respect for him either, do not like working with him and refer to him as "el nino" ("the child"). After over ten months we STILL do not have a completed pool, we have a pool that has multiple cracks in the grout, missing grout and a hole in that leaks water to the street and an unresponsive team. The pool boy doesn't even explain how to conduct a weekly chemical test on the pool. He told us to read the instructions. So many more awful things occurred with this horrible company. There is just not enough space to type it all out. If I could give NO stars I would. This continues to be the worst experience we have ever encountered. I do not recommend this company to anyone. DO NOT USE! 6/6/22 UPDATE- Rob A's is clearly in denial. Use this as a learning opportunity to do right by your customers.

    We can only plug the open/rusty rebar holed with cement caulk, until we can find another contractor to rip out the entire job ($$$$$)

    If we could give a negative number, we would. We have Pacific Sun do our original design and construction. The design was solid and we are still pleased with it as we knew what we wanted as far as shape, depth, etc. It was the construction, that was TERRIBLE. Pacific Sun's mode of operation is to get you under contract and bring in subcontractors to do the work. They did a terrible job in that we have had continual problem with the structure of the pool where the rebar is too close to the surface of pool AND the coping started to cracked within 6 months of the pool being built. We reported the problems we were seeing with the pool and NO ONE addressed our issues. Come to find out, the sub contractor lost their builders license (not due to our project) so Pacific Sun took no responsibility. Management was notified in writing and finally filed a contractor complaint with the State and BBB. They are a joke. IF you are even 'thinking' about using Pacific Sun, come over to see our pool which needs to be totally rebuilt because the pool structure (rebar) was not installed correctly, resulting in multiple surface patching, cracked coping, and significant deck cracking. Do yourself a favor... use another contractor. Note: I never used YELP to report any good or bad vendor before but every time I see this bad pool work, I get soooo upset that I finally made time to post this.

    Very happy with our beautiful new pool! Chose the Pac Sun team of Lacy, Kevin, Ken, Jose and Erick after getting 3 other pool quotes last spring. They did a great job of understanding my vision and worked with me every step along the way when changes were needed. They built me the pool I wanted, with a paver deck, turf area for my kids, a custom front courtyard wall, and a nice built in fire pit seating area. I was adding elements and making constantly as we went along and Ken was great with advice and explained every decision. Very pleased and would highly recommend! Thank you to everyone at Pac Sun! ~Sean

From the very first day of demolition to the final finishing touches, the construction crew demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication. They are clearly hard workers who take pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail of the finished space. One of the standout qualities of the team was their respect for the surrounding areas of the home. They protected floors, walls, and adjacent rooms diligently, ensuring that dust, debris, and potential damage were kept to an absolute minimum. Their attention to cleanliness and protection made the entire process far more comfortable and stress‑free.The crew members who handled the demolition, construction, and finishing deserve special recognition. Their teamwork, craftsmanship, and positive attitude made the project not only successful but enjoyable. It's rare to see a group that works this hard while still clearly enjoying the work itself. There was one minor design detail that was overlooked early in the planning phase and only became apparent once assembly was underway. Fortunately, it did not significantly affect the final result. One of the crew members quickly suggested a simple hardware addition that resolved the issue cleanly and effectively. This kind of practical, on‑the‑spot problem‑solving is exactly why the project remained on track and the final outcome looks as good as it does. For future projects, incorporating periodic design reviews during construction could help catch small details like this even earlier. It's a simple step that could make an already excellent process even smoother. Would we use this contractor again? Absolutely. The quality of the work, the professionalism of the crew, and the overall experience make them an easy choice for any future remodel.

Some things I wish I knew then that I know now might help others when planning their yards. Yes, Smart Landscape does a lovely job. Here's what would have made my upkeep a lot easier. 1. Extra protection ground cover to eliminate weeds. Some yards get no weeds because a super heavy cover has been used. I've spent countless hours pulling weeds since yards were done. 2. Go over what plants are going to be used. If I'd done that, I would've saved money and work to remove those that had needles that made it difficult/dangerous to remove. 3. If the designer had visited front yard, he would have seen the slight slope and the DG pathway would not have been a logical design choice. Rain washes it away and I'll have to eventually figure out a way to close up that space. 4. At that time, I didn't meet with the designer. I should have. Although it's a lovely design, I would have pointed out a change or two I'd have preferred. 5. Gray DG is not readily available and it has been difficult to keep the pathway refreshed. Someone said that he was going to provide it, but never did. Overall, I am glad I hired Smart Landscape. UPDATE: I needed to come back to add another star after carefully considering how wonderful Danny and his team are to work with. I had met with no fewer than nine landscape companies before Smart Landscape and they were nightmares for various reasons. Danny is wonderful to work with and makes sure the customer is happy.

Some companies wanted to do the hardscape only, others just plants. After meeting several landscapers and paver companies, I chose Danny and Smart Landscape, in part because they would take care of EVERYTHING from start to finish--concrete and tree removal, paver installation, irrigation, plants, painting, and lighting. Their price wasn't the lowest (or the highest), but I feel I got a lot of value for the money. Danny was kind and very professional throughout the job. He included in the project price my meeting with one of their designers, who made recommendations and helped me visualize what I wanted, and also helped with the selection of plants. Q--the project manager--was wonderful to work with, as well as the guys on the crew. I couldn't be happier with the result! I finally have the space I've been wanting for years, but didn't know how to get there. Smart Landscape made it happen!
