In 2000, John expanded into pool construction, bringing that same hands-on knowledge and customer-focused approach into building and remodeling outdoor spaces. Over the years, he has developed a reputation for listening closely to his clients and delivering solutions that match their needs, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
Today, that combined experience in retail, hot tubs, equipment, and construction shapes the vision behind Backyard Visions. From the showroom floor to complex equipment repairs, John remains committed to providing honest guidance, quality work, and solutions that last.
John and his wife Tymeka, along with their children and grandchildren, continue to live in Atascadero and take pride in serving the Central Coast community.
About John Ioppini (Owner)
John Ioppini, owner of Backyard Visions, is a fourth-generation San Luis Obispo County native with deep roots in the local community. He graduated from Atascadero High School, attended Cuesta College, and proudly served in the U.S. Navy before beginning his career in the pool and spa industry.
John’s foundation in the industry began in retail, where he owned and operated a local pool and spa supply store. During that time, he worked directly with customers, sold hot tubs, and developed a strong understanding of water care, equipment, and product selection. He invested heavily in learning—attending industry classes, working with manufacturers, and even touring production facilities—to build the expertise he’s known for today.
