Why Custom Design Matters
Why a Custom Pool & Deck Project Needs One Expert Team
Most pool projects fail at the seams between pool contractor, deck builder, and city permits. We close those gaps.
Common Problems
- Cookie-cutter pool designsOut-of-state design firms use generic templates that don't fit your yard, your sun, or the way your family actually lives.
- Disconnected landscape and poolPool contractor builds the pool, someone else does the deck, another person does the landscape. The result is a patchwork, not a unified backyard.
- Permit delays from unfamiliar reviewersFirms without local California experience miss city setbacks, HOA rules, and plan-check preferences. That means weeks of correction cycles.
What You Get
- A design personalized to your yardNot a catalog pool dropped in. Our architects, engineers, and landscape designers collaborate on what fits your lot and lifestyle.
- One unified package submitted to your cityPool, deck, landscape, and structural work in a single permit set. No back-and-forth between separate consultants.
- Local California planning knowledgeWe know setbacks, HOA review boards, and city plan-check quirks from the Bay Area to SoCal. Fewer corrections, faster approvals.

What We Design
Pool, Deck & Backyard Integration
Full-service design for your entire backyard, not just the pool.
Personalized Pool Design
Architect-led design built around your yard's shape, sun exposure, and how your family actually lives. Every pool shape, depth, and finish drawn from scratch, never a template.
Deck & Patio Layout
Concrete, pavers, travertine, or wood composite. Deck design engineered for drainage, slip resistance, and a smooth flow from your house to the water.
Landscape & Outdoor Living
In-house landscape designers shape planting beds, fire pits, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens around the pool, so your backyard feels like one unified space instead of a pool dropped into a yard.
Structural Engineering & Local Permits
PE-stamped structural drawings for decks, retaining walls, and pool shells, plus local expertise submitting to your specific city. We know each California plan-check desk.
Book a free consultation. We'll review your backyard, discuss budget, and show you what's possible.
Designed to Fit the Rest of Your Backyard
A backyard pool rarely lives alone. Many clients combine pool design with a home addition or pool house, or add a seismic retrofit for older homes before construction. If you're opening up interior walls to match the new outdoor flow, we also offer load-bearing wall removal engineering. One Cecilia Home team coordinates all of it.

California Homeowners Who Trusted Us With Their Backyard
Pool and deck projects across the Bay Area and Southern California, engineered, permitted, and built to last.
We wanted a custom pool that flowed into a wraparound deck without it looking pieced together. Cecilia Home handled both design and structural engineering with one set of drawings and one permit. The Walnut Creek planning department approved on the first submission.
Our lot slopes pretty badly and every pool contractor wanted to send us to a separate engineer. Cecilia has engineers in-house who handled retaining wall design alongside the pool. Saved us weeks of back-and-forth.
The city asked for a structural revision mid-way through our design phase. Mason's team updated the plans the same week and resubmitted. No delays, no extra charges. That's the level of service we were looking for.

We had a rough sketch of what we wanted: pool, spa, fire pit, outdoor kitchen. Cecilia turned it into a permit-ready plan that respected our budget. The drainage design they did around the pool coping was especially impressive.
The barrier fencing requirement was confusing to us, since every city seems different. Cecilia knew exactly what Burlingame required and designed the pool gate into the landscape seamlessly. No ugly compliance fence.
Built a pool house addition along with the pool itself. Having architecture and structural under one roof meant the pool house foundation was coordinated with the pool excavation from day one. Clean execution.

Our HOA in Irvine has strict design review, so we needed an architect who knew how to present plans to the review board. Cecilia's package sailed through approval. They speak the HOA's language.
Got three quotes for pool deck design. Cecilia was the only one who offered fixed-price design fees upfront. No hourly billing surprises. Final invoice matched the quote to the dollar.
Ripped out a dated 1990s pool and rebuilt the entire backyard. Cecilia coordinated demolition scope, new pool, deck, and retaining walls into one permit set. Construction start went smoothly, and the contractor said the drawings were the clearest he'd seen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pool & Deck Design Questions, Answered
The questions California homeowners ask most before starting a pool project.
没有找到你的问题？
Yes. Any in-ground pool and most above-ground pools over 18 inches deep require a building permit in California, along with barrier (fencing), electrical, and plumbing permits. We handle the full permit package (structural drawings, energy compliance, and city submission), so you don't need to coordinate with multiple consultants.
Custom design fees typically run $4,000 to $12,000 depending on pool size, deck complexity, and whether grading or retaining walls are needed. That covers site analysis, engineered drawings, structural calculations, and permit coordination. Construction is separate and handled by your preferred pool contractor. We coordinate closely so the build matches the design.
Design typically takes 3 to 5 weeks from consultation to permit-ready plans. Permit review varies by city, and most California cities turn around pool permits in 4 to 8 weeks. Plan for 2 to 3 months from first meeting to shovel-ready. We submit correction responses within 48 hours to keep things moving.
That's our specialty. Designing pool and deck as one integrated project avoids the common mismatch between separate contractors. You get unified grading, proper deck drainage away from the pool, matched materials, and a single permit package. The result is a cohesive backyard, not two projects stitched together.
Yes if your deck is elevated, cantilevered over a slope, or attached to the house. California requires PE-stamped structural drawings for any deck above 30 inches or attached to a structure. Cecilia Home has licensed structural engineers on staff, so the same team handles both design and engineering.
We serve homeowners throughout California, primarily the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, Palo Alto, Oakland, Berkeley, Walnut Creek) and Southern California (Los Angeles, Pasadena, Irvine, Newport Beach). Our team is familiar with local setback rules, HOA requirements, and each city's plan-check process.
