Meet The Team

With a foundation of discipline and service from his time in the United States Air Force, where he specialized in Aerospace Ground Equipment, Wesley (Wes) brings both technical precision and mission-driven focus to everything he builds. After completing his military service, Wes launched his own landscaping company—laying the groundwork for what would become a decade-long journey of mastering hardscapes.

Over the past ten years, Wes has become known for designing and constructing custom outdoor living spaces, including intricate grottos, patios, fire features, and retaining walls. His commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail earned him repeated calls from some of the region’s leading pool companies, who relied on his expertise for complex installations.

But through those collaborations, Wes noticed a recurring frustration from clients—homeowners often found themselves managing multiple contractors, coordinating schedules, and essentially acting as their own general contractor. He knew there had to be a better way.

Motivated by a desire to simplify the experience for his customers, Wes committed to learning everything there is to know about pool construction. In 2025, he expanded Living Rock Pools and Hardscapes to include in-house custom pool builds, allowing clients to enjoy a seamless, full-service backyard transformation—all under one trusted team.

Today, Wes leads Living Rock Pools with the same core values he lived out in the military—integrity, excellence, and a commitment to service—offering families more than just beautiful outdoor spaces, but peace of mind from concept to completion.
