Arreola Landscape and Pool Design

We loved working with Carlos and Malrie! The combination of landscape architect and contractor made the job experienced and efficient. We love how they helped transform our backyard into the space of our dreams.

We are very pleased with our French Grey Pebble. The service was very good and the crew was legit. I appreciate they came back to check on the process after it was completed. Everything looks great.

We can't thank Malrie and Carlos enough for the wonderful work they did with our backyard renovation. The project was the biggest renovation that my husband and I have done together and Malrie and Carlos really made it come together with ease.

We did a complete renovation of our pool, including switching it to salt water. We built a gas fire pit, pergola and outdoor kitchen with gas BBQ and replaced a wooden patio and aggregate stone around the pool with beautiful new coping and stamped concrete.

We had a large side yard with grass that really had trouble growing due to shade. We moved the gas for our pool and hot tub over to the side of the house where we couldn't grow any grass and also removed a large additional piece of lawn and replaced it with stamped concrete and created our new outdoor living space.

All of our plants were 30 to 40 years old and really needed to be replaced. Malrie helped me pick out all new plants for the entire backyard including lovely olive trees and tiny tower cypress trees. It's a true oasis with hummingbirds visiting already!

Because we took the entire backyard down to dirt, there was a lot of design work that needed to happen and Mallory was a true artist. She helped pick all of the colors for the pool tile and plaster, stamped concrete, coping, stucco, concrete for the fire pit and outdoor kitchen and guided us through the full design with wonderful suggestions that we never would have thought of on our own.

Malrie, Carlos and team worked very quickly over approximately three months (mid Sept to early Dec 2021) and we couldn't be happier with the end product. Due to all the rain recently, we still need to have our stamped concrete and the top of the fire pit and outdoor kitchen sealed, but we will do that in the spring when things dry up and warm up.

I would highly recommend Arreola Landscaping and Pool Design for your next backyard or front yard renovation project. It was a real pleasure to work with Malrie and Carlos. Both were very responsive, thoughtful, and patient with us. Their team always took care to leave our front and backyard clean and tidy each day. I know our neighbors appreciate their care, too!

Malrie and Carlos have remodeled two pools for me. Their work is superb. They provide realistic estimates and timelines and manage their team to meet expectations on beauty, quality, safety, and durability . I have also always appreciated the care and respect with which they treat our property during a pool build, which requires moving heavy equipment. There has never been an issue with damage to the surrounding property, which is not always the case with contractors.

Malrie and Carlos are also highly accountable. They genuinely want to delight their customers and go above and beyond to make sure you are completely satisfied with the outcome. Malrie's background in design is also a huge value-add. I recommend them highly.

Juan was very punctual in coming out to give us an estimate for re-plastering our spa, and replacing a couple of broken coping stones around our pool. His estimate seemed reasonable, but we figured we should try to get a second quote for comparison. That was rather painful as the other companies we contacted were either completely unresponsive, or spent all their time trying to 'upsell' us on remodeling our entire pool instead of just replastering the spa.

Just to emphasize again, the above issues were with OTHER companies we spoke to, not Arreola, and only served to make us more appreciative of how Juan was such a straight-shooter who was willing to do the job we actually needed.

We accepted Juan's bid, and the work proceeded incredibly quickly and smoothly. 3 separate crews came out in rapid succession to each do their phase - plaster demo, replaster, then coping stone replacement. We are extremely happy with the quality of Arreola's work and would happily use them in future if we need further work done. Our pool maintenance guy was also so impressed with their work that he's taken their details to pass on to some of his other clients - he says their work is amongst the best he's seen.

Thank you Juan and crew.

We had an area that had not been taken care of for years. Ivy and juniper and a whole bunch of other stuff were there. Arreola made it beautiful. It's now open and matches the rest of our landscape. Malrie was an amazing lead on ​the project. It was easy to communicate to her and she kept me in the loop on what was going on. If any other landscape projects come up I will be contacting them again!!

Like a lot of people during Covid we decided we wanted to completely redo our backyard and put in a swimming pool. The process was difficult as there were so many companies in the Bay Area to choose from. I reached out to about seven different companies and right away it was obvious that Arreola would be the right company for us. They were very good at getting back to me, answering any questions, and the communication was excellent. I like the way that the contract was laid out. It was easy to see every detail of work that was going to be completed. They started the work in November and was completed under three months. Their workmanship was excellent, and the cost was reasonable as well. If I had any questions or concerns, they addressed it immediately and we were able to move forward. I am so pleased with all the work that was done. They put in a brand new pool with a hot tub with an automatic cover, all new concrete hardscape, new fence with a beautiful gate, retaining wall, lights, trees and grass. Backyard looks unbelievable now. It's exactly what I dreamed I would have. I highly recommend this landscape\pool company! We spend so much more time now in the yard swimming, barbecuing and just enjoying our friends and family. Thank you Malrie and Carlos for making the process pleasing and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome!

Malrie and Carlos were great to work with. They listen, really truly listen. Then, they follow through. My wife and I knew what we wanted and met with several contractors. Most pretended to listen, others attempted to push their ideas.

Malrie is a great designer, she understood and fine tuned our design ideas and vision beyond our ability.

Carlos was a master at turning our vision into a reality. Punctual, efficient and very professional. He runs a crew of good men. Their work speaks for itself.

This was a large 1/3 acre backyard project. Arreola built or installed everything you see in the pictures (garage built by someone else). We would work with Malrie and Carlos in a heartbeat.

We used Malerie and Carlos to do a full yard renovation including a pool, infinity edge spa, fire pit, trellis, hardscaping, front and all the landscaping. We could not be more thrilled with the results and the overall process. Everybody is so communicative and incredible to work with. We are thinking about new projects just to be able to work with them again and have referred them to other friends for their projects!

This is an artisanal pool and landscaping company, that turned an unused small side yard into a gorgeous pool and deck area. Malrie, the landscape designer, integrated my large rock collection (petrified wood, etc) into the planted areas, so it's not only gorgeous but also personal. The pool itself is a delight. The best thing about Malrie and Carlos is that they communicated with us frequently and were easy to reach. Even after all of the work was completed they called to see how everything was. I highly recommend them.
