For more than 45 years, R&M Pool, Patio, Gifts, and Gardens has been a cornerstone of the Clayton community. Founded in 1979 by Roy Alarcon and Melanie Cooper, our family business began with a simple vision: create a place where people could find everything they need to make their homes and gardens beautiful, while also receiving the kind of personal service only a family run shop can provide. Today, R&M is still proudly family owned and operated, with Roy and his daughter-in-law, Nicole Hackett, carrying on Melanie’s legacy with the same dedication and care that built the business from the start. When you visit us, you’re not just a customer, you’re treated like family. Whether you need expert advice on your garden, the right solution for your pool, or inspiration to transform your outdoor space, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. On our nursery side, you’ll find a wide variety of plants, garden art, select furniture, and accessories, along with professional plantscape design consultations. With the poolside of our business, we offer everything from chemicals, parts, and equipment to expert repairs, weekly cleaning services, and professional installations. We’re also proud to carry Doughboy Pools and Loop-Loc pool covers, ensuring that our customers get the very best in quality and safety. What sets R&M apart is more than our products; it’s our people. For over four decades, we’ve built our reputation on trust, expertise, and genuine care for the community we serve. When you walk through our doors, you’ll find knowledgeable advice, friendly faces, and a commitment to helping you make the most of your home and garden. At R&M, we don’t just sell products; we help families create spaces where memories are made. And we look forward to doing the same for yours.
