Lalo R.
Lalo's journey with pool plastering began in 1992 when he started as a plaster mixer-man in Sacramento. In those formative years, he learned the trade from the ground up — understanding the chemistry of plaster mixes, the importance of surface preparation, and the standards that separate a pool finish that lasts decades from one that degrades within years.
Over the next three decades, Lalo mastered every aspect of pool plastering — from surface preparation and material mixing to application techniques and finishing. He worked on hundreds of pools across the Sacramento region, honing the kind of expertise that can't be learned in a classroom. It's the expertise built through thousands of hours with your hands in the work, in every weather condition the Central Valley throws at you.
Today, as Head of Logistics and Project Supervisor, Lalo oversees the operational side of every project. He manages crew scheduling, material procurement, equipment logistics, and on-site quality control. His decades of hands-on experience mean he can spot potential issues before they become problems — a crack in a substrate that needs addressing, a temperature window for optimal plaster application, a mix ratio that needs adjusting for the day's conditions. This kind of knowledge protects your investment.
Lalo's plastering expertise is a key reason why Phenomenal Pool & Landscape can offer an industry-leading 5-year pebble plaster warranty. That warranty isn't just a marketing promise — it's backed by Lalo's personal commitment to making sure every square inch of every pool surface meets exacting standards before the water goes in. When your pool is being resurfaced by Phenomenal Pool & Landscape, Lalo is the one on site making sure it's done right.
His work ethic, attention to detail, and commitment to quality have made him an indispensable part of the team for over 30 years. If the craft of pool plastering is an art, Lalo is one of Sacramento's finest practitioners of it.

Up to 7-Year Warranty Backing

Multi-Phase Project Supervision
Lalo coordinates across all construction phases — not just plastering — to ensure the right resources are in the right place at the right time, keeping your project on schedule.
The Plaster Surface is Your Pool's Heart
Most homeowners think of the pool shell as the main structure — but the plaster finish is what you see, feel, and touch every time you swim. It's the surface your children's feet push off of. It determines your pool's color, texture, and long-term durability.
A poorly applied plaster finish can crack, stain, delaminate, or feel rough within just a few years. A well-applied finish by an experienced plasterer — properly prepared, correctly mixed, professionally applied, and carefully cured — can last 15–20 years or more.
Lalo has been perfecting this craft since 1992. When Phenomenal Pool & Landscape offers a 5-year pebble plaster warranty, it's because Lalo is the one making sure every job earns it.
