Mark Sidway
Deck Builder / Contractor in San Diego CA
Hi I'm Mark Sidway. Let me get this out of the way—nothing gets my motor running like a AAA-quality swimming pool. Way back when I was a kid, I thought it was so silly that swimming pools only seemed to come in two shapes—rectangles and ovals.
Sure, if you're just trying to swim a few laps, that's all you need. But do you really want a big, ugly concrete box sitting in your yard? Of course not. Once your pool is built, it will continue to dominate your backyard landscape until the end of time—if it doesn't look great, you're going to feel a pang of dread every time you look out the window. A huge investment like this has no room for error.
That, my friend, is why I started California Poolside.
Over the last 15 years, I've put together the best team of passionate pool maniacs on the planet. We're dreamers, but we're also doers. And we really, really love pools. California Poolside eliminates all the most pressing issues plaguing today's pool builders—high cost, low value, shoddy craftsmanship, uninspired design...you get the idea. To be honest, that's exactly why our customers love us—some even call us 'Pool Magicians.'
But you don't need a magic wand and a top hat to wish your dream pool into reality. Our pools are 100% real, and soon yours can be too. So give us a call, stop fantasizing about that new pool, and let's start making magic.
Concerned about the California drought? Pools actually SAVE water over grass!

Why You'll California Deck builders in San Diego
Amazing Designs.
Deck design is the absolute most important part of the process, yet most builders just don't get it right. Just about anybody can nail a few boards together. But you have a vision for how your deck should turn out, and it's our job to bring that dream to life. We'll work closely with you—using detailed renderings and sketches—to show you exactly how to build the most amazing deck for your home, budget, and life.
Amazing Construction.
We don't take a cookie-cutter approach with any of our clients' decks—otherwise we'd end up with mediocre decks and unhappy clients. We take pride in the lost art of craftsmanship. Ultimately, a deck that's nice to look at isn't necessarily a deck that will stand up to the test of time. Our decks offer the best of both worlds—amazing design and sturdy, reliable construction.
Amazing Experience.
Most contractors like to cut corners. They spend a bare minimum amount of time planning your deck, use low-quality materials and unskilled builders, and exclude you from your own deck's design process. That's bad, and that's not how we work. Our warm, friendly team of designers and builders has one mission—sculpting your dream deck. And we can't wait to get started.
