Mark Sidway
Pool Builder / Contractor in Laguna Beach CA
Hi I'm Mark Sidway. I like swimming pools...a lot. Back in the day, I had a very interesting idea—what would happen if you tossed out the boring old traditional pool design and tried something radically different?
If your only goal is to cool off on a sweltering afternoon, you probably don't care what your swimming pool looks like. But your pool isn't just a place to swim—it's a gathering place. And an ugly pool will RUIN your back yard, every time. A beautiful pool, on the other hand, transforms your yard into an oasis of relaxation and fun.
And that's why I founded California Poolside.
I've spent the past 15 years recruiting the most passionate pool people this side of the Sierra Nevada. In that time, we've designed and built some of the most amazing pools in Laguna Beach. California Poolside tackles all of the issues of working with traditional pool contractors—boring design, shoddy workmanship, ballooning costs, and a distinct lack of people skills. People love working with us. It's that simple.
You don't need to settle. Your fantasy pool is within your grasp. Stop daydreaming and get in touch with us right away. Let's get down to business, and let's get building.
