New pools
Custom Pool Construction
Design-build swimming pools for Los Angeles County homes—shaped for your lot, finished for California sun, and built to last through decades of outdoor living.
Pool Construction in Sylmar & Los Angeles County
A new pool is more than excavation and water. Pedroza Pools plans custom pool construction as a complete outdoor living system—spa options, sun shelves, water features, equipment, and deck transitions that fit how your family actually uses the backyard. As a Sylmar family business established in 1990, Saul Pedroza and Saul Pedroza Jr. bring hands-on craftsmanship to new builds across the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles County.
Pedroza Pools is not the middleman. We are the direct builders and repairers—our crew performs the work, we don’t outsource it, and that keeps pricing competitive for top-quality results.

Q & A
Pool Construction questions
How long does a new pool take in the San Fernando Valley?
Most residential builds run several months depending on design complexity, city inspections, weather, and finish selections. We outline a realistic timeline after the site visit.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We coordinate the plans and permitting process required for your city within Los Angeles County.
Can you build on a hillside or tight-access lot?
Many Sylmar and SFV lots need creative access planning. We assess equipment access and structural needs before recommending an approach.
What finishes do you recommend for Southern California?
Pebble and quality plaster with proper water chemistry are popular. Tile accents and coping choices are matched to your architecture and decking.
Can the pool connect to an outdoor kitchen later?
Absolutely. We often plan utilities and hardscape so outdoor kitchens, fire features, and seating walls can be added cleanly.
Do you build spas with new pools?
Yes. Raised spas, spillover spas, and spa-pool combinations are common requests across the Valley.
Who will I talk to during the project?
You work with our family business—Saul Pedroza and Saul Pedroza Jr.—so communication stays clear and personal.
Which cities do you build new pools in?
We serve Sylmar, the San Fernando Valley, and greater Los Angeles County communities including Encino, Calabasas, Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, and nearby cities.
