For over 30 years, we've helped families transform their yards into relaxing retreats they love spending time in. Here's a look at the journey of California Aqua Pros and the passionate family behind it.
Greg and Marlo Purkey started California Aqua Pros in Brentwood, CA, originally as a swimming pool service company. Greg’s family history and creative passion helped launch a business dedicated to outstanding customer service and top-quality pool care.
The Purkeys grew their expertise from service into full pool remodels and new construction. Customers quickly recognized their passion, craftsmanship, and commitment to excellence.
After experimenting with adding waterfalls and decorative features to swimming pools, Greg and Marlo discovered their passion for creative, natural water features, changing the course of the company forever.
After embracing Aquascape’s eco-friendly pond-building methods, California Aqua Pros was nationally recognized by Aquascape as the #14 Contractor in the country. Greg and Marlo attended Pondemonium for advanced training and to receive the honor.
Like many businesses, the economic downturn was challenging. However, Greg and Marlo stayed committed to quality workmanship and exceptional customer service, emerging stronger, wiser, and even more dedicated to their vision.
California Aqua Pros consistently ranked among Aquascape’s leading contractors nationwide, recognized year after year for their creativity, quality, and commitment to customers.
Greg (a third-generation expert), Marlo (bringing warmth and creativity), and their son Jared (now actively involved in the family business) continue to help homeowners create amazing outdoor spaces. The Purkey family remains passionate about educating customers, building lasting relationships, and helping families love their backyards.
