My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

About 5 years ago , don goldstone of, of "ultimate water creations," built a pool in my backyard. It is beautiful, functional, and reliable. I have used it almost every day since then and it has helped me to live a long life. Whenever I have a question,Don responds immediately, and answers my question.

We couldn’t be happier with what Don created for us. He brought to life what we’ve always envisioned for our backyard. A real paradise complete with pool, jacuzzi, decking, Bbq, and fire pit. Also, he helped out with other projects like an amazing pergola, lighting, and beautiful landscaping. His input was invaluable and he was a pleasure to work with. His various crews were equally fantastic to work with, very professional and hard working. I highly recommend Don to create your dream backyard.

Don and his phenomenal crew created an amazing outdoor pool/jacuzzi environment for us 17 years ago! In that time our family has enjoyed many bbqs, team parties, birthday parties and adult receptions in our tropical oasis! The compliments from friends and family are too numerous to count! To this day Don continues to help me keep our paradise gorgeous by offering rock/waterfall re-staining as well as other pool needs. Trust me when I say allowing UWC to create a priceless extension of your home is well worth every penny spent!

In 2009 Don and his company Ultimate Water Creations transformed our backyard with a built in, top of the line jacuzzi that includes two gunite jet packs, an ozone pump, and beautiful Arizona flagstone decking. It's been 10 years since the jacuzzi was installed and it continues to work perfectly, providing our family & friends happiness each and every week. I would gladly recommend Don and Ultimate Water Creations for any pool, jacuzzi or water project.

I wish I had called Don first !! We looked locally (as we live in Northern California) and had a false start with another company that could not deliver. That is when we broadened our search and found Ultimate Water Creations. Don came in and made the whole pool process so easy. He completed the planning process, brought in great teams of people for every step of the construction - including his own team of amazing rock craftsmen. The bonus is that he brought his expertise in creating beautiful backyard spaces, and offered us suggestions to create the look and feel for the whole backyard, which were spot on. He truly loves what he does and our pool is an amazing example of his knowledge and proficiency.

Don Goldstone is not a typical pool contractor . . . he and his team at Ultimate Water Creations are artists . . . truly. They have built two pools for me, one at my last house and one at my current house. Do you like the pool at the Grand Wailiea? Their pools are better. A tropical delight right in your back yard.

We met Don in the late 1980"s when he built our pool and spa in Brentwood, Ca. When we downsized and remodeled our first home in Venice, Ca. we were trying to figure out how to turn our tiny yard into a sanctuary, we knew there was no one better for that challenge then Don. Our waterfall spa is breathtaking. He created a peaceful haven for us. Don has continued to provide me with advice and service people over the years. He is always available and willing to help. Look no further when planning your pool or spa.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Ultimate Water Creations. Don was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. It was a complex job which included multiple Waterfalls, a Pool, a Jacuzzi and a Cave Grotto. Their entire team was very pleasant and professional, from the electricians, to stone-workers, to the landscapers. The finished product is absolutely stunning and the lush tropical paradise in my backyard never fails to floor my guests when they see it. Even now a year later, Don and Janet always there anytime we have a question. If you want a top-notch pool and unparalleled service, UWC is the only choice.

Don was able to transfer our boring pool into a tropical paradise! From the waterfall to the slide, everything is perfect! Don was a pleasure to work with and was very helpful. I highly suggest everyone to get their pool remodeled or built by Ultimate Water Creations, Inc!

Don is a one-of-a-kind! after numerous referrals and meetings, I found him thru here and met with him to design my first ever attempted pool concept and he is delivering above and beyond (yep, i'm reviewing mid-build he's that good)! Even though he normally works on projects much larger than mine, I am still receiving personal attention and he is always on site checking in, reviewing and tweaking the project to make it better. His team is also amazingly skilled - they come in, tackle the day non stop, go home and every afternoon i'm wowed!

Don and his team are in the midst of a complete backyard renovation which includes a beautiful tiled quatrefoil shaped spa/fountain. So far the entire process has been amazing. Don was incredibly helpful in coming up with the design plans. I interviewed other companies and none of them were as imaginative and positive as Don. All of the workers who have been to the house have been extremely friendly and professional. The work has been done much quicker than quoted to me and I am getting pretty excited to see the final product. I'll update my posting with final pictures when it is completed. ----------------- Update!!! All the work is done and inspections passed with no problems. We hit a few snags along the way, but we couldn't be happier. When my husband and I relax in the spa we can't believe its in our own backyard.

I highly recommend Don and his crew for all pool related work. We created a pool of our dreams, hardscape, plantscape, waterfalls and a grotto. His rock work is very special and unique. Once you see his work, you will be unable to hire anyone else because as Picasso was to painting, Don is to pools. Don takes great pride in his work and is very attentive, caring and hands on. He is masterful and I am so happy to recommend him for whatever your pool fantasy may be. If you can dream it - he can build it and it will be more beautiful than anything you could hope for.

I was referred to Ultimate Water Creations by one of the top designers in Hollywood. Mr. Goldstone flew up to see my property and then designed the most spectacular pool with waterfalls I've ever seen on paper. After all said and done it came out even better than on paper. Recently he added a fountain in my front driveway with a spray ring that shoots up about 20 ft. that can rival any of the top hotels in the county. Mr. Goldstone is truly an artist!! His crew has been with him a very long time, and are polite, efficient and trustworthy. They even lived in my home for a awhile during different phases of construction.

UWC built a high end, resort quality pool/spa and rock waterfall. It is built into the hill; needed major engineering. The project progressed and was completed in a timely manner.
