Hi Lisa, Thanks for your questions. Today's cost for a pool/spa project like this would be around $55k or more. RE: Is it more advantageous to hire a landscaping company? Yes, if you can find a company who does it all and we actually know of such a company in New Hill, NC... not too far from you. They do the pool, spa, landscape design/install - pretty much the entire outdoor living space. They're a Master Pools Builder and here is Gress' Inc. website if you want to check them out. http://www.gressinc.com/. I hope this information helps.

I live in Northern California and love this design as there is we have a
small back yard. Do you recommend anyone in the East Bay area that
could do a similar small pool spa/fire feature design and landscaping?

Hello and thanks for your question re: a designer in the East Bay area. I asked a few people we know and unfortunately I was not able to track anyone down to recommend for you. I'm sure there are some talented designers in your area and perhaps a landscape architect is the best place to start. Sorry we could not assist. Best Regards.
