We love designing and building pools and beautiful landscaping in Ladera Ranch! Below are photos of a recent project we completed in the Covenant Hills community of Ladera Ranch. The project was all new and included the complete design and construction of the pool, spa, outdoor kitchen and living pavilion, a stone large fireplace, patios and complete landscaping and related hardscapes.
Today’s the day to dream a little. Close your eyes and spend three minutes imagining your backyard with a new swimming pool and landscaping. What details do you notice? Is your new swimming pool an oval or a rectangle, or a more custom style? What does your swimming pool deck look like? How did it feel? Who would you want to invite to see and enjoy it with you?
What’s stopping you from making your dream a reality?
At Dreamscapes by M.G.R. our goal is to create that new swimming pool and landscaping. The one that you’ve been dreaming about today, every summer, and maybe your entire life. We want you and your friends and family to create a memory bank of great times spent together at your home, and we can help you make that happen.
Whether your hesitation to start a new pool and landscaping project is related to time and money constraints, or a combination of both, we have options that can allow you to start your project and enjoy the results sooner than you would have imagined.
You’ve taken the time to dream, now take another five minutes to act and make your dream or “dreamscape” come true. Give us at call at 800.446.1281 to talk to us about how to get your new swimming pool and landscaping project built before summer arrives.
New swimming pools and landscaping can be financed in a variety of ways and we can provide you resources on that, as well. Whether you use a home equity line, dip into your savings funds, or choose to work with our new swimming pool and landscaping financing partner, MyPoolLoan.com, we’d love to help you design and build your new pool and landscaping!
Sometimes it makes sense to divide a swimming pool and landscaping project into phases (done by the same pool and landscaping contractor, of course) so that you can get the best results and meet a particular budget. At Dreamscapes by MGR, we understand the need to plan your landscape design around your budget and timeline. We love working with our clients and are thrilled to have the opportunity to receive call backs from satisfied customers ready to complete phase two or even three of an Orange County Landscape Design project that we started.
The Aliso Viejo landscaping project featured above is currently in-progress. About a year and a half ago we completed the landscape design on the front of this Aliso Viejo home. Excited about how their home entrance had turned out, Dreamscapes by MGR was asked to return and install a new swimming pool, spa, landscaping, outdoor loggia and outdoor bathroom. It’s an amazing project and as you can see by the pictures already, shaping into a beautiful (and much more usable) outdoor living space.
Great landscape design is a progressive, step-by-step process, as you’ve no doubt read about on our landscape design page, and we take great care with each segment. In the pictures above you will notice cement has been poured to prepare the base for the outdoor BBQ counter. A granite slab will finish off the counter area and the outdoor kitchen will have plenty of of counter seating all around the bi-level granite counter. To make this area even more inviting a built-in seat bench (seen in the distance) is being constructed and will even include a custom fire pit. The picture at top shows the new swimming pool and spa where Dreamscapes By MGR is currently installing stacked stone along the back wall of the pool and around the spa.
Now is really the perfect time to plan and/or start your landscape design! Have you been thinking about making changes to bring the party to your Orange County backyard this summer? If so, give us a call at 800.446.1281 to get your questions answered with no obligation. We’d love to be a part of your backyard remodel and Orange County landscape design. We also serve Los Angeles, San Diego & Riverside Counties!
Do the outdoor areas surrounding your home have you feeling overwhelmed? Not knowing the ins and outs of horticulture and design, you likely do not know where or how to start with your Orange County landscape design. Dreamscapes by MGR can help you to sort out your questions, thoughts, and desires for your outdoor space.
Let our decades of experience working with clients in similar situations benefit your Orange County landscape design.
Hiring a professional, licensed, experienced landscaping design contractor can lead to huge benefits in terms of cost, time, and the final look of your landscaping. Combining considerations such as the existing home architecture and client desires with real world space issues and time frames, hours of sun, type of soil and yard slope can really save on your project. Recognizing family dynamics and budget needs is critical, too, and something that we, as premier Orange County landscape designers, understand.

Any backyard paradise will ultimately be separated from the ordinary to the extraordinary by the elements surrounding the pool. This again is where having a talented design/build firm such Dreamscapes is key to a successful project. The softscape is what helps to beautify and accent the pool and hardscape while also providing privacy, shade, and segregating play and garden areas from poolside. The planting selection and design is also important around the pool because some trees, plants and flowers make better choices than others. Bees, fallen leaves/twigs, etc. can all effect the overall enjoyment and maintenance of your pool. Many clients forget to include the planting and landscape lighting for their yard in their overall budget but in many case these finishing touches are what will complete the yard and make for a perfect finished project.
Let us help create your perfect outdoor oasis. The prospect of putting in a new pool or spa can be overwhelming at first but our designers will help walk you through the designing process and all the options available thoroughly to create your new paradise. To help get you started on this exciting process we’ve broken down some of the more important aspects to begin considering so that you fully understand the options available to you and what best fits your family’s individual lifestyle.
Family Fun
We’re a family oriented company at Dreamscapes and for us knowing that were creating a space that your family can grow long lasting memories together is truly satisfying for us. Family fun can be had in abundance with your Dreamscapes pool. Options include rock water falls with grottos and slides, water features and water sports. If jumping off point and diving is important then you may want to look at having your pool be at least 7’ to 8’ to allow for any daredevils in the family to safely do unlimited cannon balls. If your focus is family time then find what’s important to your family interests and let us help incorporate these desires into your pool design.
A Play Pool for Exercise and Sports
Is your main interest in a pool for exercise or sports? When considering the element of exercise, you may want to consider a play pool. Play pools are generally designed with a depth of 3ft to 5ft to 3ft. This size and depth pool is great for water sports such as volleyball or basketball. If swimming laps is more important then, if your space will allow it, we can build a longer pool to allow for a better exercise routine.After your play time or exercise you can relax your tired muscles in an attached spa with massage jets to work out the kinks.
Serenity
Are you looking for your backyard to be your own personal escape where you can relax and unwind? A pool can be instrumental when it comes to relaxation and peace of mind. One that’s surrounded by tranquility yet alive with the serene sounds of moving water. Imagine the soothing sounds of water spillways or beautiful rock water features. The ultimate in relaxation can be a heated spa with new massage jet technology that is now available for gunite spas. The overall goal here is creating a space that inspires relaxation and escape from your busy lifestyle.
Pool Shape and Size
Once you’ve decided how you will be using your pool the shape and size can better be determined. Most times people want to combine all the elements mentioned above for the perfect pool escape.This is where a talented and knowledgeable designer is important. Our Dreamscapes designer and will help you select the perfect size, shape and location to best meet your needs and budget. Your custom design will be created to meet your individual tastes and requirements and not just be a cookie cutter boiler plate pool shape.
Water Features
From elegant water bowl features to beautiful rock waterfalls the possibilities are endless. Not only does a relaxing and beautiful water feature bring years of extra enjoyment, but it’s also an investment that adds to the value of your new pool and home. Dreamscapes can help design the perfect water feature elements into your project to help create the perfect environment.
Entertaining
Imagine a beautiful covered loggia with swim-up bar and stools. A place for entertaining of family and friends, or to just have a relaxing drink by the pool, while enjoying a break from the hot sun. A custom loggia is perfect place for parties and family gatherings.Your pool can be designed as an entertainer’s paradise!
