Mauricio Davidovich
I recently built my swimming pool with Richard’s, and the experience has been fantastic. Leslie was amazing helping us develop the pool of our dreams. Helping draw it and redraw until we find our own little paradise. Not only that, as an engineer, I like to understand every detail, and Lan is extremelly knowlegleble and incredibly patient, helping us implement the best solution for our needs, while ensuring all would work perfectlly in every detail. I highly recommended Richards, specially with the support of Leslie and Lan.

Everett does an amazing job! My hot tub looks sparkling and brand new. He’s very knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend him.
Jazz Tgood
I had a great experience with Everett from Richard’s Spa. He was super knowledgeable and took his time walking me through everything I needed to know about my hot tub—from how to operate it to how to properly clean and balance the chemicals.
What I really appreciated was how patient and thorough he was. He made sure I understood each step instead of just rushing through it, which made me feel a lot more confident managing everything on my own.
If you’re new to owning a hot tub or just need someone who actually explains things clearly, I definitely recommend Everett. Great customer service all around!

We recently built our pool and outdoor kitchen with Richards Total Backyard. The process was smooth from start to finish and we could not recommend them enough. Jonathan's design turned out even better in real life and Bray was a great project manager. They were both so helpful and responded quickly to any questions.

We had an excellent experience working with Emily Quintanilla at Richard's Total Backyard Solutions. From start to finish, her customer service was outstanding. She communicated clearly, followed up quickly, and went above and beyond to locate the necessary parts in a timely manner. Emily made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and it’s customer service like this that makes us confident in continuing to use Richard's for our backyard needs. Truly top-notch—thank you, Emily!
