Garza Pools designs and builds estate pools and complete outdoor environments for Rancho Santa Fe properties.
Rancho Santa Fe is unlike anywhere else in the county. The Covenant was laid out in the 1920s as a rural, low-density community, and architect Lilian Rice's early buildings gave the Village the Spanish-style character that still shapes the area today. Properties here are often measured in acres rather than square feet, and many include guest houses, equestrian facilities, and long private drives. Nearby Fairbanks Ranch shares the same scale and expectations.
At this scale, a pool is one part of a larger outdoor environment: pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen and dining area, shade structures, lighting, and landscaping that connects everything to the home's architecture. We design the whole space as one plan before any work begins, and we're glad to work alongside your architect or landscape designer. Stone, tile, and rockwork are selected to match the character of the property and the home.
Two things we handle specifically in Rancho Santa Fe. First, projects inside the Covenant go through the Rancho Santa Fe Association's Art Jury, which reviews exterior changes before County permits are issued — we prepare what the review requires and plan the schedule around it. Second, estate projects call for discretion: controlled site access, a clean and organized job site, and one team you deal with directly from design through the final walkthrough.
