Lyn Spessard, Founder
Lyn founded the company over 30 years ago when it was known as Lyn Spessard Designs. She has designed pools for many Contra Costa and Alameda County pool builders. Her education in landscape architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, spearheaded her interest in taking the vision of her creativity in landscape design from concept to reality. With special interest in getting the job done right, she began contracting and managing her projects.
