I would strongly suggest you shop elsewhere for a pool builder. Ben has a couple of guys that can glue PVC pipe together but have no knowledge of hooking up a pool equipment. He had to hire another company to figure out what they did wrong to my equipment, after I was assured it was working properly and I was the one that was crazy. He subs out every skilled trade. To my own fault I didn’t do my own homework and was way over sold as others have noted. He likes to push the limits with this customers, promises the sky, and he’ll get every last dime he came from you.

If you want broken rocks, significantly cracked concrete, split grout and faulty design and workmanship, Ocean Blue Pools & Landscaping is for you. And, if you want a contractor who says he will do repairs and revokes his promise because he likes to "test" his customers (I guess to see what it takes for them to crack - like his concrete), Ben is your guy. Save yourself the stress and disappointment (and cost) of going with a bad contractor. Look for a quality business that will stand behind their work for your pool and landscaping needs.
They where working on my neighbors property and the results were amazing. They are very fair with amazing pricing. The neighbors yard turned out so beautiful that I had to give them a call and get mine done. 10/10 the best in the business. Give Ben a call he has you covered.
Can't say enough about this company. The owner Ben is a pleasure to work with and genuinely cares about his clients. The work they do is top notch and nothing short of amazing. I would recommend them to anybody in San Diego who needs remodeling, pool, or landscape work.
Had a very great experience with OB Pools, very straightforward and transparent on the whole process. Overall great quality workmanship, timely responses and value for both pool construction and landscaping.
This company is working on a neighbors yard and while doing so, damaged my property due to shoddy construction practices. Once confronted, the company and its slimy owner is doing everything it can to avoid fixing the damage they 100% caused. Avoid them and think twice before bringing them into your community.
Highly recommend their services. They were timely, professional and did exceptional work on my landscaping project.
I made an appointment for a landscaping renovation project. They never showed up for the appointment. Unfortunately I am not surprised, there are many unreliable companies out there and this is one of them.
