Pool Contractor Built for Morro Bay

Morro Bay is a working-harbor town first, with the Rock as a backdrop most places can only fake, and that combination of coastal exposure and dramatic view-framing shapes every pool our in-house design and build team plans and constructs here.

We design and build the pool alongside the hardscape, planting and lighting around it as one project, with our own in-house crews handling excavation through final plaster, siting the pool and equipment so the harbor view stays the point.

What Your Morro Bay Pools & Spas Project Includes

A rectangular pool beside a lawn with stepping stones and mature shade trees

A family-friendly backyard

Room to swim and room around the water: a shallow entry, shade to sit in, and turf that stands up to being used every day.

A freeform lagoon pool with a natural rock waterfall lit at dusk

A resort-style retreat

A raised spa, moving water and planting layered in close, so the pool is the centerpiece and the yard is built to match it.

A remodeled pool at sunset with new decking, lounge seating and a fire feature

A pool remodel

New tile, coping and plaster change the pool. Rebuilding the deck, planting and lighting around it changes the whole yard.

Designing for Morro Bay

Morro Bay is a working-harbor town first, with the Rock as a backdrop most places can only fake, so a pool project here is sited to keep that view rather than compete with it.

A Pool Sited to Keep the View

Morro Bay is a working-harbor town first, with the Rock as a backdrop most places can only fake. We site the pool, deck and equipment so the view stays the point, not something the pool competes with.

View-Framing, Coastal Plant Selection

Coast buckwheat, coyote brush cultivars, California fuchsia, seaside daisy, coffeeberry, manzanita and native grasses get positioned to frame the harbor view rather than block it, while resisting salt and corrosion.

Grading and Retaining Walls for View Lots

Morro Bay’s premium-view properties often sit on a grade. Retaining walls hold that slope in place so the pool deck above it, and the view from it, stay put rather than sliding downhill.

“The yard had flooding, an aging pool finish, old irrigation, and an unusable layout-a list of problems we felt overwhelmed by. Pacific Outdoor Living helped turn those problems into a complete new design that transformed our space. The new layout is beautiful, functional, and finally usable year-round.”

Pool Contractor in Morro Bay, Answered

Design generally runs two to five weeks depending on the project and how many revisions it goes through. Construction varies with scope: small jobs can be a week, and large projects can run three to six months.

Yes. We have our own in-house permitting department and typically pull all permits needed for the job, so you don't have to work out the requirements yourself.

Yes. Several of the projects in our portfolio kept the existing pool shell and rebuilt it with new tile, coping and plaster, along with the deck and planting around it.

Yes, and many of Morro Bay's premium-view properties sit on a grade. Retaining walls and finish grading get worked out during the Site Analysis, before excavation begins, so the pool deck and the view from it both stay put.
