Brett Ryan Pools an SC Sax Company

For 26 years, Brett Ryan Pools has designed and built custom pools, spas, and outdoor living spaces across Orange County. What began as a commitment to craftsmanship has grown into one of the region's trusted names in luxury pool and outdoor construction, with more than 400 pools and spas completed.

Brett Ryan Pools is a division of SC Sax Companies Inc.

Every project starts with the pool. From there, we manage each stage ourselves: design, material selection, permitting, engineering, and construction, so the finished space, pool, spa, hardscape, and landscape alike, reflects one consistent standard of quality from concept to completion.

Our work extends beyond pools and spas to hardscape, landscape, outdoor kitchens, and lighting, all designed to work together as a single, cohesive space.

Brett Ryan Pools is based in Laguna Beach and serves clients throughout Orange County.
